Welcome to the first episode of Travel in 20! We start our exploration of the world’s best holidays with a true bucket list destination: the Maldives.   Famous for its overwater villas, turquoise waters and all-inclusive luxury, the Maldives is a destination that most travellers want to experience for themselves but don’t know where to start.   Demystifying the Maldives in this episode is Michael Thompson, Luxury Escapes’ resident expert. With an impressive ‘12 resorts in 14 days’ under his belt, Michael reveals his best tips and tricks, like why all-inclusive is actually great value and where you can sleep on a private sandbank in your very own bubble tent.   Plus, Chris Malina, Luxury Escapes’ Head of Flights, also joins to share his advice on getting to the Maldives, including wisdom that flying through Singapore is not your only option.   Featured in this episode:  Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives  Raffles Maldives Meradhoo Resort InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort Stay tuned for an unmissable Luxury Escapes offer to Pullman Maldives Maamutaa – coming soon!  Stay up-to-date with other episodes of Travel in 20 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.  Experience more of the world’s best holiday destinations with Luxury Escapes – with more inclusions, more value and more expertise.
