My family have pretty much exhausted Europe / the Med and just went to the Balkans this year.

We'd really like to try something a bit different / ideally more African or exotic / tropical. But we have a tricky criteria and very stuck. Can anyone think of anything?

  • Needs to be early Aug - so nowhere that's in monsoon / hurricane season then
  • direct flights only, max about 6 or 7 hours. I'm an awful flyer and have been gradually building up but longest to date is 5 hours
  • flying from UK (pref London but this can be negotiable)
  • DH and I went to Morrocco for our honeymoon so think that's probably out although might consider somewhere different to Marrakech
  • prefer resort type hotels, with lots to do locally in terms of cultural excursions / sightseeing etc

How about Georgia? It has beautiful beaches, amazing food and a very interesting history.
