Can UK citizens get married in the Maldives?

Yes, UK citizens can have wedding ceremonies in the Maldives, but it’s important to understand that these are purely symbolic and not legally recognised under Maldivian or UK law. Many couples opt for a ceremonial celebration in the Maldives and handle the legal marriage formalities either before or after their trip in the UK.

Is Maldives a good destination for a wedding?

The Maldives is a stunning destination for a wedding, offering breath-taking locations like private beachside or over-water venues and a romantic, intimate atmosphere. With luxurious resorts providing tailored wedding packages, couples can enjoy a memorable ceremony and honeymoon in one. While weddings in the Maldives are symbolic and not legally recognised, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a unique, exclusive and unforgettable celebration.
