Maldives Sunsets: Capturing the World's Most Breathtaking View

The Maldives is famed for its lush green islands, fringed by pristine white sands and coral reefs. The incredible marine life, crystal clear water and unspoiled nature strikes a chord of wanderlust in all of us. But the sunsets are what truly set the Maldives apart from other destinations! A riot of spellbinding blues, lavender tinged pinks, bright golden yellows and sienna oranges.  

Few experiences can equal a breathtaking sunset at Milaidhoo, one of Maldives’ most romantic resorts. It’s as if your holiday is just beginning when you capture your first sunset. Your cares and worries fall away as the natural beauty transports you to another universe. There is plenty of excitement waiting for you on the horizon and unique ways to experience sunset at Milaidhoo: 

1. On the first day of arrival, open your complimentary bottle of champagne and toast the sunset from your overwater pool villa deck as you watch your first Maldivian sunset.  

1. Take a Stand-up Paddle Board (SUP) out on the lagoon for a beautiful sunset ride. As you face the sun, the ocean stretches infinitely before you. The sun, a flaming sphere, slowly descends, creating golden wakes in the sea. The simplicity of the moment envelopes you in peace.  

1. Ba’theli Lounge is an idyllic overwater spot for sunset views and champagne cocktails – try the Sunset Bellini – fresh mango infused with mandarin juice and Campari topped up with Champagne Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve. 

1. Enjoy a sunset cruise to a secluded sandbank for dinner, where a chef, waiter and open fire awaits you. Feel the warmth of the sky at sunset as it lights up the shimmering ocean.  

1. With your bare feet in the sand of the Compass Pool Bar, sit back and relax in a hanging chair with a negroni and enjoy sunset vistas as they blaze across the Indian Ocean and beyond.  

1. Embark on a private sunset cruise aboard our romantic Maldivian Dhoni. As the sun begins its descent, revel in the ever-changing shades of blue as dolphins dance in the waves. This magical connection with nature defines your stay at Milaidhoo. Seize the moment to capture a golden hour selfie with your partner. 

1. Embrace the slow living, meditative pace of life at Milaidhoo. Wind down at twilight with a sunset yoga session and find tranquility. Perform sunset salutations surrounded by nature. Let the elemental energy guide your yoga flow and feel your body relax and your mind clear.  

1. Cruise the pristine waters of the Baa Atoll at sunset aboard a traditional Maldivian fishing boat. Learn the art of handline fishing, the way Maldivian fishermen have fished for centuries.  Under the glow of the golden sun, experience the thrill of the catch and the tranquillity of sunset.  

1. From sunset sails on board our catamaran to strolling along the beach under a coral pink sky, every sunset at Milaidhoo is an end to a day well spent in paradise.
