The Phoenician
Cradled in the Sonoran Desert, The Phoenician celebrates its sultry location with every possible facility you could want from a stand-out luxury resort hotel.
Checking into The Phoenician blows the starting whistle on the ultimate relaxing break. This large, luxury resort has all sorts lined up: a spa, a golf course, a posse of restaurants, and a gorgeous swimming pool. It could quickly suck you into a luxurious vortex for your entire stay, but its prime location means you’re well-positioned to explore the attractions and adventures of Scottsdale.The pool is lined with bookable private cabanas exclusively for hotel guests. A kids' zone, complete with a treehouse, splash pad, and water slide, makes family holidays a breeze. Spend a day enjoying the pool complex, slinking off for Med-inspired dishes at Kalio Kabobery restaurant at lunchtime or ordering something to your sunbed if you can’t rouse yourself from your relaxation. The Phoenician is the kind of resort that makes it easy for you to unwind, where the most taxing decision is which of the three excellent restaurants to go for or whether you’re more in the mood for small plates at the bar listening to live entertainment.Guestrooms are oversized and considerately designed with original artwork, Italian linens and full-width glass doors that lead to a furnished private terrace or a balcony. Locally Paid Fees & Taxes: Expect to pay approximately $45 per room per night for hotel resort fees and local taxes.

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.
