Catering to those who are looking for the ultimate way to tie the knot, the Four Seasons Resort Maldives is offering guests a way to take their ceremony offshore (literally) to a freestanding hut in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Capable of accommodating the couple and up to 16 guests, the Four Seasons Resort Maldives wedding hut can naturally only be reached by boat and features a glass-bottom pavilion for an added touch of whimsy.
The area beneath the hut is used as a place to house rehabilitated turtles that have been part of the Four Seasons’ Turtle Rehab Centre, which allows wedding guests to admire the beautiful creatures as they stand witness to their friends or family saying their vows.
