In the Maldives, OBLU by Sangeli offers the ultimate luxurious over-water suites on its adults’ only island One Banyan. Sip cocktails in the pool bar, dine on fresh seafood and marvel at the best sunsets you’ve ever seen! It really is the perfect honeymoon destination for a romantic getaway.

On a side note, here are another 5 luxury holiday destinations that you could visit on your next vacation:

Singapore and Bali

Our experts picked the vibrant city of Singapore for its bustling Hawker Markets serving up the city’s best food. Sipping a Singapore Sling in Raffles Hotel will transport you body, mind and spirit far away from lockdown boredom.

In Bali, board a small luxury yacht and cruise through the Indonesian archipelago with its thousands of tiny islands offering pristine beaches, vibrant jungles, active volcanoes, mysterious lakes, cascading waterfalls and traditional villages.

Combine sightseeing in Singapore with unwinding in Bali for the perfect post-lockdown holiday.

Kenya

If you’re dreaming of a luxury escape while still limiting contact with people outside your group, consider booking a private villa. You’ll have the comfort and safety of home, but the benefits of delicious catered meals and once-in-a-lifetime activities abroad. 

Our experts have hand-picked Laragai House in Kenya as one the top holiday destinations post-lockdown. Set in 32 acres of bushland, it’s steeped in luxury and can comfortably accommodate 16 guests in eight bedrooms. While the on-site infinity pool and tennis court are tempting, you can’t beat the thrill of a private game drive to spot the Big Five. There are also opportunities for animal lovers to tag along with the local anti-poaching unit to track rhinos.

Thailand

If you’ve emerged from lockdown with a renewed sense of purpose for protecting our beautiful planet, you’ll feel right at home in Khao Lak, Thailand. Start your journey at Rayavadee, a truly unique romantic hideaway set amongst the coconut groves and bordered by three beaches. Rayavadee’s focus on protecting the beautiful natural environment they call home runs through everything they do. From sourcing local ingredients to organising beach clean-ups, donating to healthy meals programs in, and managing their own wastewater, they set the standard in Responsible Travel.

Nearby Elephant Hills is home to Thailand’s first luxury tented camp. The strictly protected park gives visitors the chance to meet and interact with Asian elephants in an ethical and sustainable way. Surrounded by evergreen tropical forests and towering mountains, you can interact with this incredible animal without compromising your values or comfort.

Tanzania

Tanzania will take your breath away, with it’s incredible Indian Ocean sunsets, endless starry skies and safaris through its diverse plains. Tanzania boasts ‘Africa’s garden of Eden’, an expansive conservation area of savanna, woodlands and forests where exotic wildlife and the semi-nomadic Maasai people reside.

Meanwhile, a 45-minute flight to stunning Zanzibar is the perfect pre or post-safari treat. Snorkel in the reef, lounge on the beach and meet giant tortoises on Changuu.

With luxurious safari lodges and beach resorts, Tanzania is the perfect place to restart your travels and create magical memories with the whole family.
