Dubrovnik President Valamar Collection
A classic seaside resort, reimagined
Appealing to couples and families alike, this modern seafront hotel is perfect for combining a beach break with visits to Dubrovnik.
When this hotel was built in the 1970s, it claimed a prime spot on the Lapad peninsula, overlooking the Elaphiti Islands and perfectly oriented for superb sunset views. Today, the architecture has been fully updated, ensconcing a large modern hotel with plenty of facilities, including a spa, a collection of restaurants, and a pebble beach from where guests can try watersports and underwater photography. And while parents will enjoy the sun-drenched terraces and luxury touches here, kids can’t fail to be totally bowled over by the massive Maro World, a children’s wonderland of soft play, playgrounds, smart toys and gaming, and trampolines.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
