et from glitzy Dubai to the flawless Maldives on a showstopping getaway, including all travel and optional full board or all-inclusive by the beach
From a whirlwind plunge into the glittering skyscrapers of lavish Dubai to silent, exquisite shores in the Indian Ocean, this pull-out-the-stops getaway is the ultimate treat. Your first landing pad is the warming, five-star Spanish sleep of Meliá Dubai, where you can make the most of your ideal postcode by perusing the nearby gold and spice souks and exploring the labyrinthine lanes of the historic Al Bastakiya quarter. Hop in a taxi to the skyline-topping Burj Khalifa and bag some labels in the Emirate's world-class megamalls.
You'll then retreat to secluded islands and seemingly endless turquoise waters – the Maldives is undoubtedly a bucket-list heavenly hideout. Proving bigger is usually better, Sun Island Resort & Spa tops the list for being the largest and one of the most impressive in the Maldives, not least for its eco-conscious ethos.
On the heavenly Nalaguraidhoo Island in the South Ari Atoll, you're next to the most popular whale shark point in the Maldives. Hidden coves and impressive reefs provide plenty of snorkelling and diving opportunities and blissfully deserted beaches let you top up your tan in privacy. Staying full-board or all-inclusive here, you'll be able to switch off entirely to the sound of sweet nothingness. |
