Matt Phillips of Travel Chaps explores the Maldives’ shift from its traditional honeymoon reputation to a more family-focused island escape, visiting four standout resorts: Adaaran Select Meedhupparu, Heritance Aarah, Constance Halaveli, and Constance Moofushi.
Sam, Director of Sales UK & Ireland for Beachcomber Hotels, describes Mauritius as a diver’s paradise, noting its clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and abundant marine life, and recently completed the Speciality Deep Diver qualification exploring northern dive sites.
Amy Lever, a Reservations Consultant, describes the Seychelles as a nature lover’s paradise, with 115 islands, pristine beaches, lush forests, and vibrant coral reefs offering a chance to fully immerse in unspoiled nature.
Dubai, once a desert, is now a vibrant metropolis adorned with skyscrapers, luxury malls, and world-class attractions, as noted by Sarah Robertson, Senior Reservation Consultancy. Just a seven-hour flight from the UK, it combines city sophistication with stunning beaches, making it an ideal escape from the 9–5 routine.
Having recently returned from the Seychelles, Penny Mannion, Reservations Consultant, expressed a strong desire to return. She and her colleague Gill, both from reservations, were invited to visit a variety of hotels across the islands. Watching the sunrise as they approached their first island, she immediately recognised the Seychelles as something special.
One of the benefits of working for Beachcomber Tours is the opportunity to visit exclusive destinations such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi on a regular basis. Over the past 14 years, Chris has witnessed Dubai’s transformation from a small trading hub into a dynamic global city filled with world-class attractions.
Mary was fortunate enough to win an Emirates incentive trip, with tickets to Dubai up for grabs. Having never visited the United Arab Emirates, despite working in travel for over 20 years, she was genuinely excited. Dubai had long been a destination she had hoped to experience, but had never quite had the opportunity to visit.
