Taj Swarna
Amritsar's city hotel with a hydroponic heart
Relaxed elegance, impressive service and lots of modern touches, Taj Swarna is a cool Amritsar sanctuary close to all the historical sights.
A contemporary hotel in the heart of magical Amritsar, the Taj Swarna provides an exemplary level of hospitality that makes every guest feels special. From the lobby’s huge chandelier to the rooftop outdoor pool there’s plenty of modern design while elegant Amritsari art echoes a rich culture along with subtle nods to the Golden Temple, which is just a 30-minute drive away. Durgiana Temple and Gobindgarh Fort are also within easy access. Start your day with yoga on the deck, before heading off to explore the city’s historical sights. Rejuvenate mind, body, and soul with a visit to the J Wellness Circle or take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool before heading to one of the hotel's two impressive restaurants for dinner.

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.”

Wagah Border Excursion, Amritsar
Since 1959, Indians have gathered on one side of a paved promenade while the Pakistan contingent sit on the other. Both the Indian Border Security Force and Pakistan Rangers dressed in official uniform march down the road past cheering crowds. Synchronised dance movements with slick salutes and high kicks are among the many moves on show. The soldiers even sculpt their moustaches in a bid to intimidate their opponents. This all culminates in the lowering of both countries’ flags at the same time as the sun goes down, ending in handshakes between the Indian and Pakistani military.

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.
