Bandos Maldives Kicks Off Festive Celebrations
The idyllic paradise of Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa welcomes couples with an array of one-of-a-kind experiences and elevated amenities, for a uniquely memorable Valentine’s Day celebration in one of the world’s most romantic destinations. From enchanting escapes to indulgent dining and rejuvenating retreats, dreamy discoveries await.
Surrounded by lush foliage, the resort’s One-bedroom Beach Pool Villas offer enticing views of the turquoise lagoon and pristine shore from its private pool and cozy swing. The additional gazebo with sun loungers ensures a tranquil retreat. Those seeking enhanced privacy can choose to stay in the expansive Overwater Suites, which feature private hammocks by the pool and direct access to the Indian Ocean via the sea stairs – offering the quintessential Maldivian romantic experience.
Guests can indulge in a floating breakfast, served in their own villa pool, or opt for a sun-kissed sandbank picnic. As the sun sets, romantics can immerse themselves in the magic of the Dine by Design collection, which allows them to create a perfect bespoke evening from a variety of beautifully decorated setups. The Starlit Dinner menu features charmingly named courses such as Love is in the Air, a citrus poached lobster with potato terrine, fennel chiffonade and caviar beurre blanc, and Life is Sweet; Make It Sweeter, a rose-flavored pistachio sponge soaked in custard.
Dine under the stars at Beach Shack with the Seaside Dinner, featuring French oysters, foie gras and a classic orange and chocolate dessert with Beach Shack’s signature flames.
At overwater specialty restaurant Origin, Sicilian chef Silvio Zaccareo has curated a tantalizing a la carte menu showcasing Italian flavors set against stunning night-lit ocean views.
For an unparalleled romantic experience, Eden, the adults-only overwater champagne and gin bar, offers an exclusive La Dolce Vita four-course experience. Guests can indulge in Chef Silvio’s finest specialities, paired with Italian vintages meticulously selected by the resort’s sommelier.
Wellness enthusiasts and sunseekers will find endless opportunities to pamper their senses and deepen their connection.
Spa goers can explore the hammam rituals and rejuvenating treatments by skilful wellness designers at the overwater Amingiri Spa, or schedule a session with visiting practitioner Pallavi Sawant. A holistic practitioner specialising in biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Sawant conducts workshops in yogic breathing and sound healing, and is in residence at the resort until March 15.
Seasonal spa offers include the “Spa Love Note”: featuring a 60-minute couple’s massage, followed by a 30-minute body scrub and a 15-minute cleansing facial; and “Tranquil Escape”, a traditional Balinese massage combined with a soothing head massage and rehydrating paraffin wax for the feet.
On Valentine’s Day, the spa’s Skye deck transforms into a serene space for “Evening Under the Skye”, a guided session of partner yoga, designed with flowing two-person poses to bring couples together and build trust and communication through movement, breath and touch.
Active holidaymakers can access the 24-hour fitness centre, practice mindful meditation on the outdoor yoga deck, play tennis and other sports on the multi-purpose court and futsal field, or explore the island on bicycles.
Couples with a creative flair can also create their own works of art to take home at the art studio, or master the art of cocktail-making with the resident mixologists at the Maldives’ first Cocktail Lab.
