NIYAMA PRIVATE ISLANDS, MALDIVES

What’s the deal? Two islands of pristine white sand surrounded by aqua blue ocean make up Niyama Private Islands – and if you book your stay on niyama.com, you get 40 per cent off the room rate, plus you’ll receive a daily breakfast and buffet dinner for two adults and two kids (aged 11 or younger) and a 60-minute massage for two at Drift Spa. If you get bored of lazing on the beach all day, the resort has a range of water sports including scuba diving and jet-skiing. How much? From Dhs2,500 per night.

While you’re there: Kayak around the islands, or if you fancy something a little more active, have a go at surfing.
