Caribbean
Each Caribbean island has its own unique magic, but something they all have in common is warm, welcoming people - and white-sand and crystal clear water! The diversity of the Caribbean islands means there’s something for everyone: whether you want a secluded escape to a private island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines; a laid-back holiday watching beach cricket in Barbados; or an action-packed adventure zip-lining through the Antiguan rainforest.
Far East
Calling all foodies, we’ve found you the perfect holiday destination. The Far East provides a flavoursome experience for couples that love their food, with distinctive delicacies and local dishes across every border. Think spicy chilli crab in Singapore, bowls of steaming pho in Vietnam and the traditional Pad Thai stir-fry in Thailand. If you’re still unconvinced, remember that the Far East is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world.
Indian Ocean
Experience the ultimate romantic getaway in the paradisal settings of the Indian Ocean. World-famous beach destinations such as the Maldives and Mauritius meet cultural wonders like those of Sri Lanka, meaning you’re soaking up the sun one moment, and roaming temples and tea plantations the next.
Things to do
