Have we established I’m a fortunate person?\u00a0 Because I am.\u00a0 I’ve been able to visit each of these places in the past four years.\u00a0 While these locations might seem a great distance for many, they are also all obvious considerations for honeymoons, destination weddings, and vacations (especially given their distance from the GCC, where I’ve called home since 2007).\u00a0 While Hubs and I were recently traveling, I began to compare where we stayed, what made it work and why I would go back.<\/p>\n
I’m nothing if not scientific<\/del>, and thus have tried to break down my results in a more quantitative way.<\/p>\n
How far<\/strong> (roughly from DXB, AUH, or DOH)<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Maldives – 4 hours on direct flight, 30-45 minutes on small prop plane, 15-20 minutes on boat to actual resort (may vary based on property, but this is the general idea)<\/li>\n
Sri Lanka – 4.5 hours on direct flight, 2-3 hours driving through country (potentially longer)<\/li>\n
Boracay – 8 hours on direct flight to Manila, 1 hour flight to Boracay, car ride to boat, boat to island (it’s a hassle, but kind of a fun one, if you’re up for the adventure)<\/li>\n
Seychelles – 4 hours on direct flight, 20-30 minutes to resort by car<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Winner?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em> Seychelles.\u00a0 This is a very clear cut category.\u00a0 The flight times for the Maldives and Seychelles vary out of the GCC, but most tend to be an easy morning flight arriving afternoon.\u00a0 The Manila flights can be a bit hectic – I flew out at 2AM.<\/p>\n
Properties?<\/strong>\u00a0 I will of course point out here that there are ENDLESS possibilities depending on your budget.\u00a0 I’ve outlined where we stayed and why we chose the hotels and resorts\u00a0we did. \n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
