Much like the celebrities who sneak away to idyllic islands to escape the dramas of the real world, many newlyweds dream of that perfect honeymoon together, to celebrate their marriage in the height of luxury and without the pre-wedding stress. The Maldives is famous for hosting many celebrities, despite a number of resorts being firm favourites amongst the stars of stage and screen, the Maldives' superior hospitality extends to all those who wish to holiday in paradise.
