Early 22nd January morning, both of us left Male capital for the last time and headed back to the Airport Island. We had to take a sea plane from there to Royal Island Resort. Our first experience on the sea plane and we highly recommend this for anyone who takes Malaysian Airlines to Maldives! Why? Malaysian airlines to and from Male are night flights, so you'll miss the STUNNING view of the different islands and the clear Indian Ocean.
We checked our bags in and a bus took us to the waiting area. Royal Island had their own waiting room that remarkable. They even had a computer with high speed Internet access which we used to quickly send a brief message to all the Ferns with updates on what we've experienced thus far. We had to wait a little while for our flight out, but they made it worth while by serving us with pineapple juices and bananas! The toilet facilities are dazzling! They even have perfume!
The sea plane journey took about 40minutes. The view was beyond description. I simply can't find the right words to use. We landed on what seemed like the middle of the ocean! There was a small sandbank where we saw a few sea gulls flocking and probably looking for lunch :-) A speedboat was quick to pick us up. Another 20minutes ride to Royal Island Resort!
When we arrived, the staff there gave us Coconuts as welcome drinks. This island is pretty big! It took us about 45minutes to walk around the island. As we were walking by the beach, we saw a 'baby' shark and on the other side of the island, we saw a manta ray. These sea creatures come really close to shoreline. We didn't have to go far to see such magnificent sights.
Our room was massive! The back door opens to the beach. Can you believe it? We didn't have to walk far at all! It was almost like our own private beach area with our own 2 deck chairs. Walks around the island at night were completely breathtaking.
On our first night there, they served us a wonderful honeymoon candlelight dinner by the beach, complete with decorations on the table and excellent service. I found the food to be pretty good. The steak was nice and juicy! Back in our room, we found a nice turn down service with a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses. We enjoyed the drinks outside our room by the beach. What more could be more romantic!
Activities we tried during our stay apart from the best snorkeling, watching the picturesque sunset, swimming around baby sharks and looking out for jelly fishes included canoeing. You can canoe around the island in just over an hour (if you're like me and make the man do most of the work! hahahhaaa... )
On the whole, a great place to stay and the best honeymoon I could ever imagine. Never in our lives did we dream of having such a PERFECT honeymoon. ~ The End ~
