Two nights of city sparkle, three nights of lagoon calm: two different worlds in one journey
Dubai · Malé · Atoll island resort
Overview
This package is designed for couples who want a honeymoon that is both lively and serene. For the first two days you explore Dubai's historic souks, its skyscrapers and the evening lights of the Marina, then a flight of around four hours takes you to an atoll island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
In Dubai you stay in a centrally located 4★ hotel with breakfast; in the Maldives you stay on a half-board basis in a beach villa opening onto white sand. All flights, the UAE e-visa, airport transfers, the speedboat transfer between Malé and the island and a Dubai city tour with a Turkish-speaking guide are included.
Experiences such as a desert safari in Dubai or a sunset boat trip in the Maldives can be added as you wish; our adviser will plan the programme with you to suit your pace.
Highlights
- Al Fahidi historic district and an abra crossing of Dubai Creek
- Free time in the Gold and Spice Souks
- City evenings at Dubai Marina and the Dubai Fountain show
- Three nights in a beach villa opening onto white sand in the Maldives
- Snorkelling on the house reef and sunsets over the lagoon
- Optional desert safari with dinner at a desert camp
Itinerary
Day 1 Istanbul – Dubai
We fly from Istanbul Airport to Dubai on a morning Turkish Airlines flight. On arrival we transfer to our hotel, and after some rest we spend the evening on the Dubai Marina waterfront promenade, watching the towers light up. If you wish, you can join an optional dinner cruise aboard a traditional dhow.
Day 2 Dubai City Tour
After breakfast we start in the Al Fahidi historic district with its wind-tower houses, cross Dubai Creek by traditional abra and wander the Gold and Spice Souks. Following photo stops at Jumeirah Mosque and the Burj Al Arab, we continue via Palm Jumeirah to Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. An optional desert safari is available in the afternoon, and in the evening there is the Dubai Fountain show.
Day 3 Dubai – Malé – Island Resort
After breakfast we transfer to the airport and fly to Malé with Emirates or flydubai in about 4 hours. At Velana International Airport the resort's representative meets us and we cross to the island by speedboat. Once you have settled into your beach villa, the day ends with a sunset on the sand and dinner.
Day 4 Lagoon and House Reef
After breakfast we snorkel the resort's house reef among coral and colourful fish. In the afternoon you can relax in the shade of the palms or glide across the lagoon by kayak or paddleboard. Dinner is at the resort restaurant.
Day 5 Free Day and Sunset
The day is entirely yours. Optional choices include a sandbank picnic trip, a sunset boat ride with dolphin spotting or a couples' massage at the spa. In the evening, dinner follows your last sunset on the beach.
Day 6 Island Resort – Malé – Dubai
After breakfast there is time on the beach until the afternoon. We return to Malé by speedboat, take an evening flight to Dubai and connect to an overnight flight to Istanbul.
Day 7 Istanbul
We arrive at Istanbul Airport in the early morning, at the end of a journey that brings two very different worlds together.
