Your Journey at a Glance
Our curated itinerary takes you on a breathtaking journey through two of the most captivating destinations in the world. Starting in Thailand, you will be immersed in rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and bustling urban energy—all before embarking on a luxurious retreat in the Maldives.
Thailand: A Cultural Odyssey
Your adventure begins in Chiang Mai, where you will spend 3 nights in a Superior Room at U Chiang Mai, complete with a delectable Bed & Breakfast service. Here, ancient temples, vibrant night markets, and scenic mountain views serve as the backdrop to your cultural odyssey. Stroll through historic streets lined with intricate Buddhist architecture, savor locally prepared delicacies, and capture moments that speak volumes of Thailand’s heritage.
Next, experience an encounter with nature like no other at The Bush Camp. For 1 night, you will be transported to a unique tented safari-style accommodation at Elephant Hills, where full board service ensures that you are treated like royalty. Under an expansive canopy of stars and accompanied by the gentle sounds of wildlife, you might even catch a glimpse of Thailand’s majestic elephants roaming freely in their natural habitat.
Bangkok: The City That Never Sleeps
After reconnecting with nature, revisit the pulsating heart of Thailand in Bangkok, where modernity and tradition seamlessly coexist. Spend 4 nights at Sindhorn Midtown Bangkok in a stylish Studio Room on a Bed & Breakfast basis. Let the city’s dynamic energy sweep you off your feet—from the raucous street food stalls and bustling floating markets to the regal splendor of the Grand Palace. As tuk tuks whiz by and neon lights flicker, every corner of Bangkok offers an adventure waiting to be embraced.
The Maldives: An Oasis of Luxury
Just when you think your journey has reached its peak, prepare to be mesmerized by the Maldives, one of the world’s most coveted island escapes. Your retreat in the Maldives begins at ananea Madivaru, where you will luxuriate in an exclusive Beach Pool Villa for 6 nights. Imagine waking up to the sound of the gentle lapping of turquoise waters, stepping onto powder-white sands, and refreshing yourself in your private pool.

Every meal is designed not only to nourish but also to delight your senses with an exquisite blend of international and local flavours.
Seaplane transfers, provided as part of your Maldives package, add another layer of excitement to your journey.
