Days 1-4: Dubai
Your Dubai experience begins with accommodation at properties from internationally renowned luxury hotel groups known for their welcoming approach to LGBTQ+ travellers and exceptional service standards. These properties offer prime locations with stunning views of either the skyline or beaches.
Explore the city’s glittering streets through private guided experiences that reveal both the traditional and futuristic sides of Dubai. Marvel at the world’s tallest building from exclusive observation decks, discover the intricate craftsmanship of traditional gold and spice souks with expert guides, and experience the city’s dining scene at rooftop restaurants with panoramic views.
Your Dubai adventure includes exclusive desert experiences. Journey into the golden dunes for private falconry demonstrations, traditional Bedouin-style dining under the stars, and sunrise hot air balloon flights that reveal the dramatic landscape from breathtaking heights.
The city’s world-class shopping and entertainment districts are major draws. From the world’s largest mall with its aquarium and ice rink to traditional markets where master artisans create bespoke jewellery and textiles, Dubai provides shopping experiences found nowhere else on earth. Private yacht charters along the Marina showcase the city’s stunning waterfront development, while helicopter tours reveal the incredible scale of artificial islands and architectural achievements that define modern Dubai.
Day 4: Dubai to the Maldives
Today you will be catching a flight to The Maldives International Airport (Male). You will be met by one of our experienced ground team who will ensure that you are taken to your private plane or speedboat water taxi for you to reach your luxury Maldives hotel.
Maldives includes premium seaplane or speedboat transfers that transform travel time into sightseeing opportunities, revealing the stunning coral atolls.
Day 5 to 10: The Maldives
Your Maldivian retreat centres around one of the archipelago’s most exclusive luxury resorts, where overwater villas and beachfront suites provide direct access to some of the world’s most pristine coral reefs. These properties feature private butler service, world-class spa facilities, and dining experiences that range from intimate beachside dinners to underwater restaurants surrounded by marine life.
The resort’s location within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve provides extraordinary opportunities for underwater exploration. Private diving and snorkelling excursions reveal vibrant coral gardens, manta ray cleaning stations, and whale shark encounters that create memories lasting far beyond your stay. For non-divers, glass-bottom boat excursions and submarine experiences provide equally spectacular views of the Indian Ocean’s incredible biodiversity.
Morning yoga sessions on overwater pavilions give way to private beach picnics on uninhabited islands, while sunset dolphin cruises provide magical encounters with the ocean’s most playful residents. The resort’s spa offers treatments inspired by traditional Maldivian healing practices, using locally sourced ingredients like coconut oil and sea salt.
Private sailing excursions to nearby local islands offer cultural insights and authentic interactions with Maldivian communities, while guided fishing expeditions using traditional techniques connect you to centuries-old island traditions.
Your overwater villa serves as a private sanctuary where floor-to-ceiling windows and glass floor panels provide a connection to the lagoon below. Watch tropical fish swimming beneath your feet during morning coffee, enjoy cocktails from your private infinity pool as the sun sets.
