THEMATIC HOLIDAYS
Bali or the Maldives? Find your island rhythm
Bali suits travellers who want to combine culture, cafés, inland scenery and time on the coast. Plan fewer hotel changes if you prefer a slower pace, and account for road travel between regions.
Make space for the details
The Maldives lends itself to a resort-based stay with lagoon views and time by the water. Compare meal plans, transfer arrangements and room categories carefully. Neither is a universal winner: the right choice is the one that matches the way you like to spend your days.
