Mauritius or Maldives? Which to choose for your luxury escape

The oceanic fauna of the Maldives is fascinating, with whale sharks and manta rays paying seasonal visits. Look out for sea turtles, whales and dolphins, and head to the Baa Atoll for a diving experience you will never forget. Named as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 2011, this area of the Maldives offers views of some of the most astounding coral reefs imaginable. You can even go on organized hiking trips between the islands, crossing on sand bars in sometimes waist-deep water and navigating your way around beautiful coral and rock formations. Maldivian saltwater creatures outnumber land mammals heavily – however, you’ll still get the chance to come across flying foxes and geckos.

The weather at home in October can be very unpredictable. Rain and cold temperatures are often interrupted by periods of bright sunshine, but many Brits think of October as the month that introduces the long, grey British winter. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Leave the October blues behind and extend your summer by jetting off to a land far, far away this year.

Looking for a holiday destination for July? Our advice is to go long haul. While the world and his wife flock to Europe in July and August, far-flung destinations are less crowded and can be cheaper than spots closer to home.

Although June weather at home is pleasant, it can still be pretty unpredictable (random rain showers, anyone?), so jetting off to somewhere far-flung is great way to enjoy some guaranteed hot temperatures, good food and good vibes.

May is a great time to jet off somewhere faraway. For those who can, this is the best time for long haul as you can take advantage of the two bank holidays and off-peak cheaper rates on travel and accommodation.
