10 nights · Malé to Dubai

Two countries, one continuous route

This is the studio's defining combination: reef days first, then desert. Every leg is written once for one traveller, so the order below is a working draft, not a fixed departure.

  1. 01

    Malé arrival, North Malé Atoll

    Land at Velana International, meet the licensed Maldives DMC and take a 35-minute speedboat to the atoll. Swim off the villa deck before dinner.

    Maldives
  2. 02

    House reef and sandbank picnic

    A guide walks the reef edge at first light, then a drop-off on an empty sandbank for lunch and shade.

    Maldives
  3. 03

    South Ari Atoll: manta and whale shark channel

    Full day with the marine team. Currents here are strong and the swim is open water, so it is optional in full or in part.

    Maldives
  4. 04

    Unscripted villa day

    No transfers and no schedule. Spa, dive, or nothing at all.

    Maldives
  5. 05

    Maafushi local island afternoon

    A short boat hop to a inhabited island for the school, the harbour and a home kitchen lunch.

    Maldives
  6. 06

    Fly Malé to Dubai, Al Fahidi and the creek

    Midday flight, then a slow walk through the wind towers of Al Fahidi and an abra crossing at dusk.

    UAE
  7. 07

    Al Marmoom dunes and overnight camp

    Late-afternoon dune drive, dinner under canvas, then astronomy with a guide before the drive back.

    UAE
  8. 08

    Abu Dhabi: Louvre and Grand Mosque

    Museum morning, mosque at golden hour. Dress code is strict and we brief you the day before.

    UAE
  9. 09

    Old Dubai souks, onward flight

    Gold and spice souks early, late checkout, transfer to DXB for the evening departure.

    UAE

Days can be reordered, shortened or extended. See the published cost ranges for per-person bands, or send the brief and we will rewrite this route around your dates.

Cost ranges

Indicative budgets before anything is booked

Every journey is written once, for one traveller, so a fixed price list would mislead. The bands below show what comparable combined itineraries have cost recently, per person, sharing a room.

What the bands assume

  • Rates are per person, based on two people sharing a villa or suite.
  • International flights from Kyiv are quoted separately, and fares move weekly.
  • Seaplane and domestic transfers are priced by daylight windows and baggage weight.
  • December to March usually runs 35 to 50 percent above the low-season bands.
  • Villas that do not face open water cost less, and we flag those before booking.

About the UAH column

UAH equivalents are indicative and calculated at about UAH 41.50 per USD. Your written proposal states the rate on the day it is issued.
