The Maldives
⭐️ Best for ultimate relaxation
If you're looking for the ultimate beach escape, it really doesn’t get better than the Maldives. Each island is home to just one extraordinary resort, surrounded by ivory sands and crystal-clear waters. But it’s not just the stunning surroundings – experiences here are extra special, too.
EXPERIENCES
Explore underwater and encounter giant mantas, sip signature cocktails under sail or cruise to a private island for a surf and turf dinner under the stars.
Kuramathi Maldives is exclusive to Kuoni in the UK and is a fantastic all-rounder, thanks to the vast array of villas and restaurants. Upgrade to the Select All Inclusive package to try out the à la carte eateries; culinary delights include flambé steaks at Island Barbecue and Maldivian seafood at The Reef.
Visit during peak season (November to April) when the rainfall is at its lowest, or take advantage of offers during the UK summer months; ask about free nights or meal upgrades if you plan to travel at this time of year.

Mauritius
⭐️ Best for picture-perfect beaches
Mauritius is a long-standing Kuoni favourite. The best time to visit is from October to December, when you can expect balmy days and low rainfall across the island. But the subtropical climate is blissful all year round; there are fantastic offers from May to August when temperatures average around 25 degrees, and Easter is particularly popular.
EXPERIENCES
At Zilwa Attitude, embrace ‘islander’ life with sunrise pirogue trips, Creole cookery lessons and barbecues on their private island. Pair a beach stay with a few nights at Lakaz Chamarel Exclusive Lodge, a boutique eco-hotel tucked in the Black Gorges National Park mountains.
Wow, factors include private pool suites with breathtaking views and zen-inducing activities such as meditation in the outdoor labyrinth, nature hikes and spa treatments.

Saint Lucia
⭐️ Best for reconnecting with nature
Saint Lucia is one of the world’s most enchanting islands – it’s just netted the ‘World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination’ title for the fifteenth time at the World Travel Awards. Petite StolenTime by Rendezvous is all about romance – think candlelit date nights, couples’ massages and movies under the stars. Pretty much everything is included here: watersports (including scuba diving), dining in a choice of restaurants and premium brand drinks, including bottomless fizz in the Champagne Bar.
EXPERIENCES
Stay at Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort to take the luxury levels up a notch. At this rainforest-cocooned retreat, you’ll spend your days lazing on white sands below the Pitons, unwinding with treatments in the treehouse spa or chilling out in your villa’s private plunge pool, which comes with a personal butler.

Bali
⭐️ Best for not-to-be-missed cultural treasures
Bali consistently tops the list of luxury holiday destinations. Not only is this spectacularly scenic land brimming with exquisite spa havens, but plenty of adventure can be found beyond the hotel walls.
EXPERIENCES
The best way to fully appreciate Bali’s beauty is on a twin-centre trip. Begin in artsy Ubud, a great base to discover the island’s temples, waterfalls and picture-perfect villages. If you’re not ready to give up your private pool, opt for a River Pool Villa at Sankara Suites & Villas, a Kuoni-exclusive gem hidden among lime-green rice paddies.
After a day of exploring, there’s nothing quite like dipping into the cool waters of your pool and listening to rippling water and birdsong. Round off your holiday on the golden beaches in the south; Seminyak has stylish boutiques, bars, and a hip surf scene.

Madeira
⭐️ Best for nature escapes and historical attractions
Known as the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’, the emerald-clad isle of Madeira is a paradise of exotic blooms, coves dusted with black sand and spectacular cliffside hotels. One of the best is The Cliff Bay, an ultra-luxe hotel with spellbinding views over the Bay of Funchal.
EXPERIENCES
Relax by the pool or on the sun-drenched deck, head to the spa for a tranquil treatment and wine and dine in style; this is another hotel showcasing Michelin-starred fare.
When ready for a change of scene, explore the island on one of Kuoni’s excursions or take a trip into Funchal to meander around the quaint shops and cafés.
