Jet-set in style with Emirates

Start your holiday in the best way possible.

Take to the skies with our top airline partner Emirates and you can not only expect a flying start to your holiday – think award-winning service, chef-curated menus and a fantastic entertainment lineup – but also a ticket to some of the world’s most iconic addresses.

From the coastal grandeur of Cape Town to a bijou island dream in the Maldives, here are some of the most sought-after stays in destinations pinned on Emirates’ far-reaching route map.

Dubai: sky-high glamour

There’s a new kid on the block making waves on Dubai’s ever-evolving luxe hotel scene: Atlantis The Royal. In just two years it’s become a city landmark thanks to its striking curved architecture, innovative design choices and 90-metre-long, 22-storey-high infinity pool.

Maldives: small on scale, big on luxury

Often, the best things come in bijou packages: Kandolhu Maldives has just 30 villas, each with a rustic Maldivian meets modern vibe. And what it lacks in acreage, it makes up for in culinary offerings – there are five à la carte restaurants on the island.

Kandy, Sri Lanka: zen in the hills

Experience the harmony of nature, nurture, science and ancient traditions at Santani Wellness Resort & Spa. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside (forest-cloaked mountains and terraced rice fields) in, and bespoke well-being programmes are the order of the day.

Mauritius: timeless island elegance

Shangri-La Le Touessrok is a Mauritius icon, and with a refreshed design embracing the island’s natural landscapes combined with renowned Shangri-La service, it’s a status that’s set to endure. Don’t miss a castaway experience on the private island, Ilot Mangénie.

Langkawi, Malaysia: rainforest meets sea

The Datai Langkawai, you’ll feel embraced by the island’s ancient rainforest which spills down to an impossibly beautiful bay. Head off on naturalist-led treks, find natural swimming holes, try yoga with a jungle soundtrack or just soak up the absolute serenity.

Bali: cliffside cool

The Alila Villas Uluwatu is all clean and contemporary lines, lava rock and dark wood elements, striking works of art and cliff-top views for days. Each of the cool and calming standalone pool villas acts as a private sanctuary for lazy moments up above the surf.

Khao Lak, Thailand: the art of romance

Things take on an easy-going air at The Sarojin and it all starts with breakfast served pretty much wherever you would like it, until 6pm! There’s a truly serene ambience here as well as typically Asian architecture and décor, and exquisite tropical gardens.

Cape Town: grain to glory

Striking from the outside and eclectically beautiful inside, The Silo is part art gallery, part hotel and reflects the city’s changing fortunes; who would have thought that a century-old grain storage unit would be the place to create an ultra-luxe hotel.
