Virgin Holidays' view

These contrasting destinations make for an exciting getaway. Dubai has so much to offer and is home to iconic attractions. Discover the city's fine dining restauarants and vibrant nightlife, soak up the culture or perhaps try indoor skiing or venture out on a desert safari. After a few days exploring, head for the more laid-back atmosphere of the Maldives. You can slow things down by relaxing on the beach, snorkel with the fishes or maybe visit the whale sharks. It's time to relax in paradise.

Start your holiday with a few days in Dubai. You can go shopping in one of the world's largest shopping malls or the souks. Be adventurous and experience the desert on a desert safari excursion. Visit the Burj Khalfia, the world’s tallest building, and see the fountain show.

If you're into theme parks then a trip to Dubai Parks and Resorts, located on Sheikh Zayed road, is a must! Middle East’s largest integrated leisure and theme park destination is home to three theme parks: MOTIONGATE™ Dubai, Bollywood Parks™ Dubai and LEGOLAND Dubai, and one water park: LEGOLAND Water Park, meaning there will be guaranteed fun for everyone.

Days 4–11: Enjoy Maldives

Your Maldives experience starts with a speedboat or seaplane transfer from Malé. Upon arrival, you’ll get a true insight into island living, with stunning beaches and a choice of activities, both on land and in the water. Colourful marine life and plenty of underwater sites mean that the snorkelling and diving here is nothing short of spectacular. A special occasion? Upgrade to a secluded water villa (some have private pools) and you can take a dip straight from your private deck. With luxury spas at many of our resorts, delectable cuisine and warm hospitality, there’s a good chance that you won't want to leave.

Fly home via Dubai with Emirates.
