Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives has unveiled a new year-round stay concept for couples, introducing a romance-focused “Romance in Paradise” package that shifts the spotlight from calendar-driven celebrations to ongoing connection in one of the Indian Ocean’s most coveted island settings. Announced on January 27, 2026, the offer launches in time for Valentine’s travel yet will be available throughout the year, underscoring how the North Malé Atoll resort is repositioning romance as an enduring travel theme rather than a seasonal promotion.

A Year-Round Romance Offer Timed With Valentine’s Travel

The launch of Romance in Paradise is strategically aligned with the busy Valentine’s period, when couples traditionally seek short-haul escapes or long-haul bucket-list trips to warm-weather destinations. By designing an experience that goes live for February stays but remains available until December 23, 2026, Grand Park Kodhipparu is targeting both early-year romantic getaways and milestone celebrations spread across the calendar.

Positioned as a year-round escape rather than a limited thematic promotion, the package reflects a broader trend across the Maldives, where resorts are increasingly extending romance products beyond classic honeymoon and Valentine’s windows. For Grand Park Kodhipparu, the move plays into its identity as a contemporary boutique island resort just a short speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, catering to couples who want a quick but immersive retreat focused on intimacy, privacy and ease of access.

Rates for Romance in Paradise start from around 500 US dollars per night, placing the offer firmly in the premium segment of the Maldives market while still appealing to couples looking for a curated, experience-led stay that bundles in dining, wellness and activities. The pricing and long booking window also aim to capture demand from multiple source markets planning anniversaries, engagements, babymoons and extended romantic breaks well beyond mid-February.

Romance in Paradise: Experience-Led Design for Couples

Rather than centering solely on room upgrades or one-off amenities, the Romance in Paradise offer has been structured around a sequence of shared experiences that unfold over the duration of a stay. The resort describes the concept as “experience-led,” with an emphasis on connection, intimacy and personal time, in line with its brand promise of “connected island luxury.”

Every booking under the package includes daily breakfast at The Edge, the resort’s main restaurant, which serves a mix of international and Maldivian dishes in an open-air, lagoon-facing setting. The choice to build breakfast into the package reinforces a slower, more relaxed daily rhythm and leaves couples free to shape the rest of their meals around the resort’s additional restaurants and bespoke dining options.

On arrival, guests are met with romantic celebration amenities in their villa, typically including a specially prepared cake, a bottle of wine and a tropical fruit basket. These in-villa touches are designed to set a celebratory tone from the first evening, whether the trip is a honeymoon, anniversary, proposal or simply a much-needed couple’s retreat away from work and city life.

Signature Floating Deck and Sunset Dining Experiences

Among the most distinctive features of the new offer is access to the resort’s floating deck dining experience, which has been positioned as a signature highlight of Romance in Paradise. Couples are invited to sail out onto the water and dine on a private deck equipped with plush daybeds and unobstructed ocean views, with curated menus prepared and served by the resort’s chef.

This floating platform concept taps into the visual appeal and social-media-friendly aesthetics that have helped define modern Maldivian luxury, but the resort is framing it as an intimate, quietly secluded moment rather than a showpiece event. As sunset deepens over the North Malé Atoll, the setting aims to deliver a sense of separation from the main island, with only the sound of the sea and the shifting colours of the sky as a backdrop.

Alongside the floating deck, the Romance in Paradise package incorporates a more classic beachfront dining option, branded as a sunset rendezvous private dinner. This experience places couples on the sand at the water’s edge, with an individually arranged table, soft lighting and a made-to-order menu. Both dining experiences require advance reservation, allowing the resort to manage privacy and personalise service while aligning with guests’ preferred evening during their stay.

Wellness and Yoga Woven Into the Romantic Journey

Wellness plays a central supporting role in the new package, reflecting broader post-pandemic travel patterns in which couples increasingly seek restorative, health-oriented components within leisure trips. Romance in Paradise includes daily morning and evening yoga sessions for two, allowing partners to share a grounding ritual that combines movement, breathwork and mindful presence.

Held on the island’s dedicated yoga decks or other scenic outdoor locations, the sessions are designed to match the natural tempo of the island, beginning with sunrise and winding down as the day fades. For couples, this structure creates a framework in which each day starts and ends with a shared activity, subtly reinforcing the package’s focus on reconnection and slowing down together.

Beyond yoga, guests have access to the resort’s spa and broader wellness infrastructure, with treatments and add-ons available at an extra cost. While not formally folded into the Romance in Paradise inclusions, spa experiences, couples’ massages and relaxation rituals are positioned as natural extensions to the package for those who wish to build a more comprehensive wellbeing-focused itinerary.

Ocean Adventures and Non-Motorised Lagoon Activities

Recognising that many couples come to the Maldives seeking more than passive relaxation, Grand Park Kodhipparu has included an hour of complimentary non-motorised water sports as part of the Romance in Paradise offer. This typically covers activities such as paddleboarding and canoeing on the lagoon, creating low-impact ways for couples to explore the surrounding waters together.

Situated in the North Malé Atoll and ringed by a vibrant house reef, the resort is already well-known among repeat visitors for easily accessible snorkelling and marine encounters. While guided snorkelling with the resident marine biologist sits under separate offers, the lagoon access embedded in Romance in Paradise ensures that even guests focused primarily on romance can experience the underwater environment during their stay.

By limiting the included activities to non-motorised sports, the resort also underscores its emphasis on quiet, low-noise experiences that do not disturb the sense of seclusion. Couples can glide across the clear shallows or drift near the reef edge without the intrusion of engines, aligning with the tranquil tone set across the rest of the package.

Personalised Service Through Lifestyle Hosts and Connectivity

At the service level, the year-round romance package is underpinned by the resort’s lifestyle host model. Every Romance in Paradise booking comes with access to a dedicated host, tasked with coordinating dining reservations, yoga session timings, water activities and any special requests, from surprise proposals to bespoke in-villa setups.

This approach reflects a shift in Maldivian luxury from purely physical hardware toward highly personalised, anticipatory service. For couples who may be celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime occasion or travelling on a tight schedule, the host system reduces friction, allowing them to focus on enjoying time together rather than managing logistics.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is also included across the island, villas and outdoor spaces. While connectivity is now standard at high-end resorts, its explicit mention within the package signals an understanding that many guests will wish to remain reachable or share their experiences in real time, even while off the grid in appearance. For some couples, this may mean balancing remote work with a romantic break, further stretching the ways the package can be used beyond short celebratory stays.

Exclusivity Through Direct Bookings and Loyalty Incentives

Romance in Paradise is being sold exclusively through the resort’s own booking channels, rather than via third-party agents or global distribution partners. This direct-only strategy allows Grand Park Kodhipparu to maintain full control over the guest journey from the moment of inquiry, while driving traffic to its official digital platforms.

To reinforce that direct relationship, the resort is layering in additional value for members of Park Rewards, the wider Park Hotel Group loyalty program. Couples who sign up, which is free, can unlock further percentage savings on villa rates on top of the published Romance in Paradise pricing, adding a tiered incentive to book directly and build longer-term brand engagement.

The launch of the romance offer sits alongside a suite of other deals at the property, from early bird promotions and last-minute discounts to long-stay savings and celebration-focused experiences. Within this portfolio, Romance in Paradise is clearly positioned as the signature choice for couples, complementing an existing “Island Celebrations” package that leans more toward anniversaries and milestone events with family or friends.

Grand Park Kodhipparu’s Growing Profile in the Maldives Romance Market

The introduction of a year-round romance-focused stay package marks the latest step in Grand Park Kodhipparu’s evolution as a couples-oriented destination in the Maldives. With a collection of overwater villas, beachfront accommodation and pool-equipped categories, the resort has long attracted honeymooners and anniversary travelers looking for the archetypal Maldivian experience a short boat ride from the international gateway.

In recent years, the property has invested in refining its narrative around connection, sustainability and curated experiences, mirrored in language such as “connected island luxury” and the development of experience-led bundles. The new romance offering aligns closely with that positioning, highlighting slow travel, meaningful time together and personalised service rather than overt extravagance.

As competition intensifies among Maldivian resorts to differentiate their romance credentials, the move to offer Romance in Paradise as a year-round proposition rather than a temporary theme helps Grand Park Kodhipparu stand out. For the growing number of couples who prefer to celebrate their relationships on their own timetable, the resort’s latest package signals that in this corner of the North Malé Atoll, romance is not confined to one date on the calendar.
