The Maldives suits couples and resort-led holidays where the hotel is the trip — but two resorts that look identical online can deliver completely different experiences. Budget for Green Tax, GST, service charge and transfers on top of the headline rate.
Dubai works when the hotel area matches how you plan to spend each day — beach, marina, downtown and Palm hotels each create a noticeably different trip. Budget for the Tourism Dirham fee and service charges on top of the headline room rate.
Turkey delivers the best all-inclusive value in this part of the world — but Belek, Bodrum and the Turquoise Coast are different holidays. Pick the coast that matches your trip, then compare resorts on transfer time and what's genuinely included.
Egypt rewards travellers who know its quirks: visa rules differ by airport, tipping is systematic, and the gap between a great resort and a tired one is wider than elsewhere. The main decision is Sharm versus Hurghada.
Greece is beautiful — what travellers need is help choosing between islands that market themselves identically, and a straight answer on the Climate Crisis Resilience Fee and new EU border checks.
Spain is the UK's default holiday for a reason — but the Canaries in January and Marbella in August are different holidays entirely. In 2026, tourist taxes bite hard in Barcelona and the Balearics, while most of the Costa del Sol and Canaries charge nothing.
UK staycations suit travellers who want shorter transfers, flexible trip lengths and hotel types abroad cannot replicate — spa weekends, countryside pubs, coastal walks and dog-friendly luxury. Rural family bookings rose nearly 60% between 2019 and 2024, and industry surveys in 2026 show growing demand for hidden-gem countryside stays over obvious seaside strips. The main decision is region and trip style: city break, coastal, spa or family resort village — not just the headline room rate.
