It can only be described as a fairytale marriage in an enchanting overwater wedding chapel in the Maldives. You can walk down the glass floor aisle to say ‘yes’ to your love, surrounded by the stunning vistas of the Indian Ocean at Jumeirah Vittaveli.
This award-winning resort offers special packages for wedding ceremonies and vow renewals.
Stunning aerial view of the Jumeirah Vittaveli in the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.
Graciously nestled in South Male atoll, Jumeirah Vittaveli sits just 20 minutes away from Male International Airport. As you make your way onboard the motorised catamaran across the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, your expectations are heightened about this luxurious accommodation. Suitable rewards await you.
Jumeirah Vittaveli is the perfect place for all the family to speed things up or slow things down. Everything the Maldives has to offer is served up in the way only Jumeirah can.
A traditional Maldivian welcome is a forerunner to the many activities that await you: watersports, wellness, diving, beachside havens – there’s everything.
According to the general manager Amit Majumder, the Maldives provide a wonderful, romantic location for weddings.
“We have arranged a number of stunning ceremonies, on a secluded beach, a remote and deserted sandbank, and even an underwater exchange of vows,” Amit said. “We can now offer this spectacular new venue to guests who wish to celebrate in style at Jumeirah Vittaveli. Imagine watching your partner appear to walk on water and down the glass floored aisle that stretches over the shimmering turquoise lagoon.”
The wedding chapel sits serenely tucked away in the resort’s overwater fine dining complex, adjacent to French fine dining venue Fenesse, the newly-opened wine library Cuvée, and the tranquil overwater lounge Cyan. Panoramic glass doors provide 360-degree views, and decorations can be adjusted to suit the wedding couple’s personal wishes.
The wedding chapel can be booked for ceremonies in advance or once guests are on location. Please note: marriages at the resort are purely ceremonial and not legally binding.
