January to June 2013 promotion targets honeymooners & anniversary couples at prestigious new 5-star resort

Maldives, January 2013– As the new 5-star resort addition on the southern Maldivian island, The Residence Maldives takes the romantic celebration to new heights. Whether it is for honeymooners or couples to celebrate their anniversaries, the latest Romantic Maldives Escapes package kicks off the year 2013 with a sweet taste of romance.

From January 11 to June 30, 2013, stay with The Residence Maldives for a minimum of 3 nights, Romantic Maldives Escapes package offers honeymooners and anniversary couples a 20% discount on best available rates, along with other goodies including priority check in and late check-out, complimentary and unlimited WIFI in the villa.

To stir up the sweet romantic ambiance, the package also includes idyllic spa pampering sessions for two at the one and only The Spa by Clarins in the Maldives. And an in-villa set dinner creates a private setting for this special occasion, topped up with a 10% discount on all other food & beverage.

Introducing “a new level of luxury” to the archipelago headlined by fine dining and the brand’s signature private butlers, The Residence Maldives is newly opened on the southern Maldivian island of Falhumaafushi on Huvadhoo atoll – the largest and deepest atoll in the world. It is just seven minutes by speedboat from a new domestic airport at neighbouring Kooddoo.

On an unspoiled, tranquil and idyllic island of swaying palm trees and powder-soft white sands, the new member of the prestigious The Leading Hotels of the World features 94 luxurious beach residences and water villas on stilts blending traditional native architecture, local artifacts and wall art with sophisticated elegance and modern comforts.

Beach front and beach pool villas of one and two-bedrooms provide a serene ‘toe in the sand’ escape. Guests in water villas, also one and two-bedroomed, can slip straight from sundecks into crystal clear waters of their own private lagoons.

The Spa by Clarins is serenely located at the end of a jetty over the lagoon, offering holistic treatments, pampering massages and hairdressing using acclaimed Clarins spa formulas with plant origins.

Recreation centres on water sports and scuba-diving, with a PADI-5 Dive Centre escorting both experienced and beginner divers to some of the most spectacular dive spots in the Maldives. Deep sea fishing is also available, along with island-hopping excursions to local villages and markets, cooking classes and environmental awareness by a resident marine biologist.

With a stunning Indian Ocean panorama, signature restaurant The Dining Room overlooks the beach and lagoon, serving contemporary Asian, Indian and Maldivian cuisine. Perched at the end of a 230-metre jetty over a colourful coral reef, The Falhumaa specialises in superlative seafood and fine wines. Partially submerged in the swimming pool, The Beach Bar is a romantic sundown chill out spot for cocktails and tapas with spectacular sunset views. Private dining is also available, either for romantic barbecues at villas or on the beach, served by a personal chef and waiter.

For unforgettable wedding or vow-renewal ceremonies, couples can walk barefoot down a red carpet ‘aisle’ on the sandy beach, exchange vows underwater with marine life as celebrants, or marry alone in Robinson Crusoe-style on an isolated island with only heaven and earth as witnesses.

Resort facilities also include a Kids’ Club, boutique & gift shop, DVD & CD library, fitness centre, internet corner, library and sauna & steam room
