Some random honeymoon snaps

I have settled into Maldives island life quite well...

We have really enjoyed our first week as a married couple and can't stop calling each other wifey and hubby! :-)

Our private sunbathing terrace is on three tiers of wooden decks

Crystal clear lagoon

Enjoying a 'sundowner' 

The staff ratio here is as many as four to each guest, so we are being looked after so well

The pristine water is very inviting as it's roughly 26 degrees 

It's the ultimate retreat for pure relaxation and indulgence

It took  a day or two for us to start unwinding from city life - but now we are now really exhaling and de-stressing

Bear takes a dip in the freshwater pool after a swim in the salty sea

comfort levels definately surpass all 5 star ratings

The sun and it's vitamin D is such an energy booster, but I am very careful to put SPF 50 twice a day on my face

Walking back to our bungalow, located furthest away from the main island which offers maximum privacy

The evenings are warm as the temperature barely drops, and I like to keep cool with an ice cold Long Island Ice Tea

Fresh fish and other food served every evening is cooked however you want it

Powdery white sand perfection

The days are mainly spent resting and reading or simply dozing in the shade

This elegant island is for those who appreciate sun, sea, sand and nature

Gratitude is the overwhelming feeling when staying on this paradise island

We are surrounded by picture postcard-like scenery

So calming and relaxing sitting by the infinity pool

  Our ocean bungalow is aptly named as it looks toward the vast Indian Ocean for miles

We have our own personal butler (or Thakru) who comes to pick us up with a buggy anytime we want to take us wherever we want around the island

Champagne in the jacuzzi is a must

Coming out of the ocean after snorkelling, as it's starting to get dark

Hanging out in the hammock tied to lush swaying palm trees

Happiness is dipping your toes in shades of blue and green that paint the waters
