Nice as they look the Maldives look over-priced to us - we reckon on £12-14000 for two for a fortnight for a beach side 'villa' and BA flights before meals/drinks/activities.

Quite fancy a kick back and chill break NY right by the sea but without the silly cost.

Closest we have ever come to that was Goa some years back but that has been developed a lot since then.

Any suggestions welcome.

Not sure if they are first class flights, but never spent that sort of money? June to October you can generally get decent deals. Been four times and the cheapest was the best. It was £800 for both of us for 2 weeks ^_^

How about Frinton on Sea? Some lovely beach villas there.

Vietnam :okay:
And then over to Siem Reap for the wonder that truly is Angkor Wat

However, you’ve plenty of money you say, interest rates are pathetic and you can’t take it with you so why not just go to the Maldives if that’s what you really fancy

That's a good shout, somewhere chilled like Hoi An would fit the bill.

South Africa would be my choice.

Unbelievable country, not always for the right reasons but a great destination all the same.
