Step straight from your villa into clear lagoon water, slide into the sea before breakfast and have every meal, activity and detail covered from the moment you arrive. This ten night Maldives stay at Siyam World is designed for families who want more than just a beach, with space, variety and a level of inclusion that means you are not thinking about what to do next.
Arrive into Malé and transfer by seaplane directly to Siyam World. The flight takes you out over the atolls, giving you your first look at the islands before landing close to the resort, so you go from airport to island without any extra steps.
Siyam World is built to give families more than just a beach. The island is large, which means there is space to move around and different areas to spend your day. Your Lagoon Villa sits over the water with a private pool and a slide straight into the sea, so you are not relying on shared spaces to enjoy the water.
The Premium WOW All Inclusive package covers meals across multiple restaurants, snacks, drinks and a wide range of activities. This includes access to one of the largest floating water parks in the Maldives, kids club facilities and organised activities throughout the day, so there is always something to do without needing to leave the resort.
Snorkelling can be done straight from your villa, with clear water and marine life close by. Beyond that, there are paddleboards, kayaking, boat trips and guided activities available across the island. For something different, experiences like coral planting give you a chance to take part in the conservation work happening in the area.

Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
Summer might get most of the attention, but autumn can be one of the most rewarding times of year to travel. Cooler temperatures make days outdoors more comfortable, landscapes shift into rich seasonal colours, and many destinations settle into a quieter rhythm once the peak summer crowds have gone. That’s where the ‘cool-cation’ comes in. Instead of chasing the heat, these trips are all about crisp mountain air, lakeside walks, dramatic scenery, cosy food, and the kind of weather that makes you want to pull on another layer and keep exploring. From the Italian Alps to the Canadian Rockies, here are seven destinations that come into their own in autumn.
