alternatives to Maldives this Easter

[ELDV]

Unfortunately we are booked to go to the Maldives this Easter with a connecting flight through Dubai… We are travelling from Italy and there are no direct flights.
I want to cut our losses and try again.
Any suggestions, looking for beautiful sea and relax with three kids varying from 4-15.

Why don’t you fly to London and then go direct to Maldives?

Mauritius

We are in the same situation. We are flying from London but changing over in Dubai. Direct flights are currently around £7000 from London to Maldives

really have they already got that expensive?! I was thinking of flying and going through London but those prices are insane

We looked this morning. It’s really making us unsure what to do. We are supposed to be going 30th. Things could change but would rather be prepared too

Fly to Tampa and do the gulf coast - gorgeous weather and coastline! Anna Maria, siesta key, lido key, St Pete’s and Clearwater. Weak dollar makes it affordable.

Cabibbean?

The Maldives is a vile country with regards to human rights. Best avoid it altogether.
