Five nights half board with return economy flights from Dubai and shared speedboat transfers. Seaplane resorts are available at a supplement, and the transfer type changes the shape of the trip more than the room does: a speedboat resort means you are in the water the afternoon you land.
1
A four-hour morning flight from Dubai. You are met at arrivals and taken to the speedboat jetty; the resort is about forty minutes away. The afternoon is free to settle in.
2
A guided snorkel on the house reef in the morning, with equipment provided. The reef drop-off is a short swim from the villas.
3
A boat to an uninhabited sandbank for the morning, and a sunset cruise through the channel where spinner dolphins feed.
4
Nothing scheduled. The spa, the dive centre and the water-sports desk all take bookings on the day.
5
A half-day trip to a nearby inhabited island: the mosque, the harbour and a home-cooked lunch at your own cost. Modest dress is expected ashore.
6
Checkout after breakfast, speedboat to the airport and the afternoon flight back to Dubai.
Tell us where you want to go and we will come back with options, usually the same day.
