The
Rania Experience in the Maldives has launched a private wedding package for
lovers to renew vows, honeymoon or celebrate a wedding anniversary. The exclusive castaway retreat on a private island
in the Maldives even comes with with its own luxury yacht.
Grooms start the day diving or fishing, followed by a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure before
being escorted to the blessing at a beach pavilion or aboard ‘The Rania’ yacht to the sound of local
Maldivian drums.
Brides enjoy a sumptuous breakfast before being whisked away to the spa for a full day of
pampering with beauty treatments and styling.
The simple and elegant ceremony takes place just before sunset over the Indian Ocean, performed by an Island Senior in the local Dhivehi
language - with a transcription presented in English along with the Blessing
Certificate.
Following the exchange of rings, cutting of the Blessing
Cake and photos taken by a private butler, couples board a private yacht for a
sunset cruise with Dom Perignon Champagne and canapés.
On returning to the island, a candlelit five-course dinner is served on the beach or other island venue – with the option of a bed on the beach
to sleep under the stars.
Offering
unlimited gourmet dining, drinking and spa treatments, along with yoga, fishing or diving on demand, The Rania Experience was
this year hailed by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the world’s most “scene-stealing” new hotels and resorts, “raising pampering to a new
level”.
The “ultimate romantic getaway” on Faafu Atoll is a picture postcard paradise of white sands and turquoise blue waters 35-minutes by
seaplane from Malé International Airport.
Guests
can enjoy private use of ‘The Rania’, a luxury 86ft yacht with indoor and outdoor lounges and dining areas, Jacuzzi, air-conditioning and
a full entertainment system including home-theatre.

taken anywhere, from the beach at sunset to the privacy of their villa or aboard the yacht at the time preferred by the guests.
Gourmet dining is cooked and served anytime and anywhere, either on the island or aboard ‘The
Rania’.
Blessed with some of the world's most spectacular sunsets, a variety of cultural shows can also be arranged on request and at an additional
