Indian Ocean Holiday Recommendations

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by AirCon, Feb 2, 2020.

  1. Just looking to book a late Summer / Autumn get away, as a couple.
    I normally do my own thing, flights and Hotel.... but Kuoni are trying to woo us back to the package.

    We are looking at 7 to 14 days all inclusive, Sept - Nov 2020.
    Mauritius or Bali or Maldives or Seychelles....
    We've never been down that way and would really like to try it.

    Any comments or recommendations?
     
  2. If you want to do absolutely nothing then I’d recommend the Maldives, as there’s nothing to do but sunbathe.

    stayed on lily island but about 15 years ago when it was fairly basic

    wonderful food great if you want to chill !

  7. There was an existing one that I didn't know about, so I joined my post to that.
    And asked that the existing one was deleted.

  11. Just under £3k all inclusive for the pair of us...
    23rd Sept late out of London Heathrow for 8 hour flight to Dubai on Emirates.
    2 hour stop over and then 2hrs to Mauritius.
    All Inclusive for 7 nights.

    We may upgrade to the Sea view with balcony.... it will give me somewhere to sleep when I snore.

  14. Only been down there once, Mauritius. Long time ago but it was lovely.
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  15. We got engaged in the Maldives, probably the most beautiful place I’ve been but it was also the most boring place I’ve ever been. OK if you want to lie about all day or like snorkelling/diving

  16. It's a 3rd cheaper than the deal I've put up.....
    It's the "Family Friendly" hotels and kids go free bit that puts me off. :mad:
    I want kids pay double and have enforced day/night time curfew I want to see.:D
    We may include in our Down under tour.
