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.

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.
