Tbh maldives is one of those places where you can sit and do nothing and pure relaxation.. If you get bored easily just go for a few days? And save the hard work for dubai.? Wev gone for 10nights purely because my hubby will be having a whole month off work as he literally works 7 days a week so we want a nice break before coming bak to rainy england.! My hubbys sis went to maldives for 2 nights (she lives out in dubai so wasnt too far for them) and she said that was more then enough for her lol x
