Two South African newlyweds were stranded at a luxury Maldives resort on their honeymoon for three weeks, as they couldn't get home because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Olivia and Raul De Freitas had planned to be at the five-star Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives, where rates start at $750 a night, for only six days.
When all the other guests left, the couple became the only people at the hotel, with a whole fleet of staff members doting on them.
"Being the only guests at the resort was lonely and fun at the same time," Raul and Olivia said.
Ultimately, they made it home by splitting the $104,000 cost of a chartered private jet with other stranded South Africans.
