Didn't get enough long-haul destinations in our last blog? Don't worry, we're back with more tropical destinations ready for you to enjoy the sea, sand and sun.
Bali is the most recognized island in Indonesia, which has 17,000 islands in total. Here are some pretty convincing reasons to book your next holiday there:
We've picked out the Padma Resort Ubud.
It is a resort located in the North of Bali. It has 5-star amenities and amazing views from every room or suite as it overlooks the bamboo forest of Payangan.
We’d recommend between May and August when the weather is most settled. The hottest month of the year is November with average highs of 32 degrees Celsius, and August is the “coolest” month with average highs still sitting at around 29 degrees Celsius. The wet season is between October and March, and the dry season is from April to September.
When you think of Maldives, white sand beaches and crystal clear blue waters come to mind, and this is what makes the Maldives such a peaceful and romantic getaway. But the Maldives can offer more than just luxury and relaxation, there are many activities available to book:
We've picked out the Ayada Maldives.
There are 6 mouthwatering restaurants and bars. For relaxation, there is a large spa in the tropical gardens with Turkish hamams and multiple other treatments. There is a wide variety of different sports and adventurous activities that happen at the resort.
November to April is the best time to travel to the Maldives to enjoy warm and sunny days and blue skies and highs averaging around 30 degrees Celsius. The wet season runs from May to October so the weather can be a bit more unpredictable and you could spend a whole day with nothing but rain.
Mauritius is located off the coast of Madagascar and boasts a rich and diverse history. You can see the islands’ Dutch, French and British legacy in its colonial mansions and botanical gardens, whilst also seeing hospitable locals of African, Indian and Chinese heritage.
There are miles of sandy beaches, with the island being almost entirely surrounded by coral reefs. Not convinced yet? Here’s some more information about this little slice of heaven:
We've picked out the Heritage Le Telfair.
With golf, gourmet food, a spa, and luxury rooms, you will truly feel relaxed and carefree on your holiday.
October through to December is when Mauritius is at its hottest, but because of its geographic location and subtropical climate it usually has perfect beach weather for most of the year.
