SRI LANKA & MALDIVES Blending the best of both worlds, spend seven days soaking up the rich culture and natural wonders of Sri Lanka, followed by seven days of pure barefoot luxury in the Maldives. Your holiday begins in Sri Lanka - think of misty tea plantations, ancient temples, bustling cities, and golden beaches, all within easy reach. You’ll be based at the Avani Kalutara , with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. It’s the ideal base to explore from, whether you’re wandering through local markets or heading out on safari. A short flight and a 15-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport brings you to the 4* Oblu Xperience Ailafushi in the Maldives, where beach life takes centre stage. Think cheerful accommodation with ocean views or villas that put you just steps from the beach. From canoeing in the dazzling turquoise lagoon to snorkelling among vibrant coral reefs or for complete zen, book a treatment at ELE | NA The Spa – a tranquil garden spa with an ocean-view sauna that melts your worries away.

DUBAI & SRI LANKA Pair the glitz and glamour of Dubai with culture and adventure in Sri Lanka on this epic twin-centre holiday. In Dubai, you’ll stay at the five-star Anantara Dubai The Palm , located on the East Crescent of the iconic Palm Jumeirah. Spend sunny days at the resort, relaxing on the 400-metre private shoreline while enjoying views of the Arabian Gulf or head to the nearby waterpark. In the evening, head to Dubai Marina for some retail therapy before heading back to the hotel and tucking into a gorgeous dinner at one of the hotel’s eight eateries. The Shangri-La Hambantota in Sri Lanka is your ultimate beachside retreat. Dive into The Village within the resort, a vibrant tribute to Sri Lanka’s artisanal heritage. What’s more, just a stone’s throw away, encounter elephants, leopards, and more at Yala, Udawalawe, and Bundala National Parks. Enjoy the sunset with a walk along the beach before enjoying delicious food and vibrant cocktails at one of the four restaurants and bars.
