About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
I have quoted you for a spectacular trip to the Maldives, staying in my all-time favourite resort, the OBLU Xperience Ailafushi. This resort is the epitome of Maldives luxury and will be the perfect place to escape to.
To give you the full Maldives experience, I have included 4 nights in an upgraded Beach Villa, followed by 4 nights in a stunning Water Villa, offering the best of birth world in the island paradise.
I've also been able to include the OBLU's renowned All Inclusive Fushi, meaning stunning food, top-shelf spirits, cocktails and snacks are all included from start to finish!
I have included great direct flights with Virgin in Premium Economy to give you that all-important extra legroom! As the flights are currently out of date range, the price may fluctuate. We are very good at estimating so this is not normally the case, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware. As soon as they are available we can get them in the diary for you!
Your itinerary also includes return speedboat transfers from Male Airport.
I am SO excited to hear your thoughts on this trip! I can't wait to catch up with you on Thursday,
Best travels,
Alice Evans
