First Stop: Dubai

Start with a nonstop flight from major U.S. hubs to Dubai, where the journey begins with three unforgettable nights. In just three days, Dubai dazzles with a blend of ultra-modern glamor and rich traditions. Begin with iconic sights like the Burj Khalifa then dive into the city’s heritage by exploring the historic Al Fahidi district and vibrant souks. One afternoon we will arrange for a luxurious desert safari under the stars. Indulge in beachfront relaxation, cutting-edge museums, and world-class dining with sky-high views - you will have a magical three days in Dubai.

Next Stop: Maldives

From Dubai, it’s a quick and easy flight to Malé, gateway to the Maldives. Here, you’ll trade city skylines for turquoise lagoons, overwater villas, and the softest white sands imaginable. Whether you’re diving with manta rays, indulging in a beachfront massage, or simply watching the sunset from your private deck, this is the place to slow down and fully exhale. We’ll match you to the perfect island resort - wellness focus, romance, barefoot luxury or family friendly - there are so many incredible island resorts in the Maldives.

Final Stop: London

Here’s the beauty of this itinerary: there are no nonstop flights from the Maldives to the U.S., but that opens the door to one more incredible stop - London. Spend a few days enjoying the elegance of Mayfair, afternoon tea, world-class museums, and some last-minute shopping before heading home. By breaking up the journey, you ease jet lag and get to enjoy one of Europe’s most dynamic cities. It’s the perfect finale to an epic adventure.
