A Dreamy Symbolic Wedding in the Maldives at Sun Siyam Olhuveli
At BeachWeddings.co.uk, we specialise in creating unforgettable moments, and few destinations are more romantic than the Maldives. One of our lovely couples will soon be heading to this island paradise to celebrate their love with a breathtaking symbolic ceremony at the luxurious Sun Siyam Olhuveli.
For couples looking to add even more magic to their stay, the resort offers unforgettable extras such as sunset cruises, paddleboarding, snorkelling adventures, and private beach dinners—perfect for making your stay even more special.
A Journey to a Tropical Haven
Their romantic adventure begins on the 30th April 2026, departing from London Heathrow with Qatar Airways and arriving in the Maldives via a smooth connection in Doha. Upon arrival in Male, a complimentary speedboat will transport them to Sun Siyam Olhuveli, a 5-star escape nestled among soft white sands and glistening turquoise waters.
This exceptional resort spans two stunning islands, connected by a wooden bridge over a shimmering lagoon. Guests can enjoy a seamless blend of barefoot island living with luxury service. With overwater villas, beachfront suites, and lush tropical surroundings, Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers the ultimate romantic retreat. During their five-night stay, the couple will enjoy an all-inclusive experience—gourmet dining, premium drinks, and access to multiple pools, beachfront lounges, and an award-winning spa.
The Symbolic Ceremony: Pure Romance, No Red Tape
The couple has chosen a Simplicity Wedding, a beautifully crafted symbolic ceremony that allows them to celebrate their love without the complexities of legal documentation abroad.
It’s important to note that weddings are not legally binding in the Maldives for UK couples (or most foreign nationals).
This is due to local regulations and religious requirements that do not accommodate civil or legally recognised foreign weddings. However, this does not make the experience any less special. Many couples choose to complete the legal formalities in their home country either before or after their trip, and enjoy a symbolic ceremony in the Maldives as their true celebration of love.
This symbolic ceremony will be officiated by a local Master of Ceremonies (a non-legal celebrant), under a charming wedding parasol. The bride will hold a ceremonial bouquet, while flower girls in traditional Maldivian dress add an authentic cultural touch. A decorated wedding buggy adds a dash of fun and style as they arrive at their ceremony location.
Following the ceremony, the couple will enjoy a celebratory bottle of sparkling wine, a stunning three-tier wedding cake, and a romantic evening with special bed decorations prepared by the resort’s team.
Extra Touches of Island Bliss
To make their wedding experience even more indulgent, the couple has added a Royal Javanese Lulur Scrub with a milk bath for two, a soothing and luxurious spa ritual rooted in Indonesian tradition.
They’ll also enjoy a Floating Breakfast—served either on the morning of the wedding or the next day—bringing a touch of magic to the start of their new chapter together.
Celebrate Your Love in the Maldives
A symbolic wedding in the Maldives is a perfect way to celebrate your relationship in one of the most picturesque places on Earth. While it may not be legally binding, the emotional significance and unforgettable beauty of the moment are what truly matter.
Let BeachWeddings.co.uk help you plan a romantic escape filled with joy, love, and barefoot elegance.
