MALDIVES
The small collection of island paradises is one of the most unspoilt destinations you’ll find anywhere. Clear blue sea laps against pristine white sandy beaches, tropical palm trees sway in the gentle breeze, transport is by private boat or seaplane and the majority of these tiny islands host just one resort hotel each.

It is a dream destination for total relaxation, plus the abundant marine life and unspoilt coral make it a diver’s paradise. The Maldives can be enjoyed as a single stay holiday or as a stopover or multi-centre destination.

SRI LANKA
Sometimes described as a teardrop on India’s cheek, Sri Lanka has long existed in the shadow of its huge neighbour, but this fertile island has an identity all of its own.

Warmed by the equatorial sun and watered by the monsoon rains, this tropical island is a treat of varieties, from ancient sites of religious pilgrimage to quiet beaches lapped by the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
