Say “I Do” on a Platform in the Middle of the Indian Ocean

Love is in the air – and in the ocean – at Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives, as the luxury island resort launches four new wedding packages for 2025, including a package that allows couples to exchange vows on a platform in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

HithuVindhu “Heartbeat” ceremonies take place at 5 ° North, a wooden platform in the middle of the resort’s tropical lagoon, located 5 degrees north of the equator. Ceremonies are followed by a four-course dinner on the platform, and a 30-minute sunset cruise on a traditional Maldivian boat. Celebrations continue with romantic in-villa bed and bath decorations, and an iconic floating breakfast, and can be further enhanced with add-ons such as a saxophonist, a traditional boduberu band, fireworks, and an overnight stay in Finolhu’s famous Beach Bubble.

From 5 ° North to tropical sandbanks, couples can pick from four new wedding packages,each perfectly crafted to ensure a seamless and magical vow exchange in one of the most romantic and picturesque destinations in the world.

The Ishgi “Romantic” package includes a tropical set up on the sandbank with the stunning blue of the Indian Ocean as the backdrop. An upgrade to the Dhaaimee “Everlasting” package includes a four-course dinner on the beach, and a chorus of traditional Maldivian drummers during the ceremony. The fourth and most luxurious of the offerings is the Loabiverin “Lovers” package, which includes flower ladies, a breakfast experience at the Beach Bubble, and romantic in-villa bed and bath decoration, and much more.

Each of the packages consist of combinations of floral arrangements, food and beverage options, in-room decorations and services. They also feature a dedicated wedding coordinator, master of ceremonies, bottle of Taittinger champagne, a bridal bouquet for the bride and boutonniere for the groom, a tiered wedding cake, digital photographs and a symbolic wedding certificate.

Finolhu provides the perfect stay for romantic occasions with beautifully designed overwater and beach villas, four delectable restaurants with spectacular views, and a selection of relaxing couples massage treatments to enjoy at the Fehi Spa.
