Once you arrive, you have three days to take in the exciting sights and attractions. Hong Kong is known as the city that works hard and plays hard, with a true East-meets-West heritage. From the ultra-modern harbour and city centre to the surrounding rolling hills, Hong Kong offers a diverse landscape that is always interesting.

Hong Kong is an international centre of trade. Because of this, the city has gained a shopping culture like no other. Whether you’re planning a big shopping trip or just want to explore, you can’t visit Hong Kong without checking out some of the huge malls.

For excellent views, take a trip on the iconic Star Ferry to observe the city from the water. Alternatively, Victoria Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island and is reached by the almost vertical Peak Tram – an experience in itself! Once you’re at the top of the peak, you can enjoy a walk or simply sit and take in the views of the city over the lush green mountains. For more ways to spend the day outside the bustle of Hong Kong, take a boat over to Lamma Island to discover hidden beaches, or visit the Big Buddha statue on Lantau Island.

✈Hong Kong – Maldives (7 Nights): In the next portion of your multi centre holiday, you’ll leave the lights of the city to head to the Maldives. Depending on the resort you’re staying in, you’ll be met at the airport and whisked away in either a speedboat or a seaplane to your island.

The Maldives are the ultimate beach escape, boasting an idyllic combination of white sand, palm trees and crystal-clear blue waters. Whether you’re staying in a small boutique hideaway, a contemporary all-inclusive resort or a rustic retreat, there are a plethora of hotels to choose from, all offering endless opportunities for relaxation. If you’re looking for a multi centre holiday with plenty of time to unwind, the Maldives are a must.

Alongside mouthwatering gourmet restaurants and outstanding spas for relaxation, the surroundings of the Maldives provide an exceptionally romantic destination where you can totally chill out. The diving and snorkelling experiences are some of the best in the world, while dining on a private beach offers the ultimate in indulgence. At the end of the day, you can experience some of the most beautiful Indian Ocean sunsets.
