A sun‑drenched Summer escape: Dubai & the Maldives😎🏝🥂
If you are tied to school holidays but still dream of that big “wow” trip, July/August can be a fantastic time to travel with the right expectations and planning.
Following on from Millie & Fins Thailand Adventure I also arranged a twin‑centre escape for Sarah and Andy , Millies Mum & Dad ! Sarah Foster ❤️
✈️ Flying in style with Emirates in Business Class a truly special experience.
✨ A few nights in Dubai at the stylish Address Beach Resort, with its incredible skyline views and ultra‑modern facilities. This really is an amazing hotel .
✨ Followed by an adults‑only island hideaway at Komandoo in the Maldives, a peaceful retreat with that classic white‑sand, turquoise‑lagoon feel. This was their 2nd visit as they loved it so much last year ❤️ it is one of my favourite Maldives Islands I can highly recommend 🏝
A couple of honest weather notes for anyone considering a similar trip:
☀️ Dubai in August is extremely hot and humid. Think powerful air‑con, early morning or evening exploring, and plenty of pool and beach time in between. If you are limited to school holidays, it can still work really well with the right hotel choice and a slower pace.
🌴 The Maldives is tropical, so the weather is never guaranteed, even in July & August. You can have sunshine and crystal‑clear water one moment, then a heavy shower or storm rolling through the next. It is part of the Maldives’ natural charm, but it is important to be prepared for a mix of conditions rather than wall‑to‑wall blue skies.
Komandoo itself is having a full refurbishment between June and October next year, which is very exciting for future stays and means it will be looking even more beautiful for guests once it reopens.
If you are dreaming of a similar Dubai & Maldives combination for the school holidays or any other time of the year and would like honest advice on when to go, what to expect from the weather, and which hotels will suit you best, I would love to help you plan it just let me know [email protected] ✈️🏝❤️
