Honeymoon @ Angsana Velavaru Resort, Maldives.
Friday, October 17, 2014 @ 8:30 PM





















Disclaimer: Every couple should go to wherever the want to and what the can afford. Do not go in debt just for a few days of fun. I’m posting this to share with everyone because I know what it’s like to wonder how much it really cost for a whole trip. Checking flight and hotel rates are not enough, there’s always tax, gst and extra cost like spa and food. You can always go to another resort that you like and stay in any room you want too.

Check out all the photos in my Facebook!

Here’s how our journey was like: 
Changi Airport -> Male International Airport -> 5 minutes Bus ride to Terminal A -> 40 minutes Seaplane ride -> Drop off in the middle plank -> 5 minutes Speedboat ride to our Land Villa -> 5D4N -> 5 minutes Longtail boat ride to InOcean Villa -> 5 minutes Speedboat ride to the middle plank -> 40 minutes Seaplane ride to Terminal A -> 5 minutes Bus ride to Male International Airport -> Changi Airport.

I really wish we could stay for 2 weeks there but I think 9 days is enough because you’ll get bored of doing nothing, no convinience stores or shopping. Just you, your husband and the resort. BUT I would do it all again, maybe a few years down the road after going to Europe, America and South Africa. Hehe.

We took 2 rooms, on the beach and in the ocean. InOcean Villa Room is literally in the middle of the ocean, it’s across our Beachfront Jet Pool Villa which was really beautiful! The stars decided to show up on our last night, it’s our first time stargazing and there’s hundreds of them shining so bright. We were in awe! I spent my days swimming in the ocean and in our pool while my husband snorkelled out alone because I is ze pengecutx! Hahahah.

Our flight home got cancelled and rescheduled to 2:35am (Singapore time). Everyone was sent to a nearby hotel blabla. Super tiring and horrible experience with Singapore Airlines!

Okay let’s go into the details!

// I booked everything myself, no travel agencies. I compared prices and we would have had to pay additional $1000++ if we booked through a travel agency. So save time and money!

We spent on others things such as lunch and room service so our total was
