FOR an unforgettable wedding set against a background of the picturesque Kudhimaa Wreck with its colorful marine life, Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives has introduced an underwater wedding package.
The package includes a dive master and master of ceremonies and the resort has its own house reef complete with shipwreck.
Happy couples are escorted underwater to the location for the ceremony, where they exchange vows by writing on a special board.
A number of extra services are available, including a gourmet lunch on a secluded island, a private sunset cruise with bubbly and canapes, a picnic on a sand bank, spa and beauty treatments or a romantic dinner on the beach.
The resort is located on the South Ari Atoll and designed in a colonial style, with whitewashed timber accommodation and meandering boardwalks.
Accommodation and facilities are ideal for honeymooners, with the resort featuring a variety of dining options, pools, recreation activities, sports and fitness facilities, a bar and lounge with nightly entertainment and its own spa village.
The resort is easily accessible from Malé International Airport with an air transfer time of just 25 minutes or speedboat service in 85 minutes.
