SPA HOTEL IN THE MALDIVES

Few places allow you to escape quite so completely as the Maldives. Fewer still have quite such idyllic beaches and such slick resorts. The five-star Sun Siyam Iru Fushi Maldives on the Noonu Atoll sits on a white-sand beach and offers a spa, kids club, pool and watersports including a diving centre. From £2,559. Book by Sept 30 for this price, which includes seaplane transfers. BA Holidays (ba.com).
