Right, I'm stumped, I cant place anywhere I really want to go.

Ideally something secluded (private plunge pool etc) or a bit of glamour, rather than just your standard hotel upgraded suite etc.

Anything on stilts is good, anything with overly flashy integrated rooms/sea/sand/pool etc are welcomed. Butler service more so. Golf, (I know I know......) good, Mrs Tiga plays as well.

Basically something drop dead gorgeous, hot, secluded, but not in the middle of fk all so there isnt anything to get bored of.

I'm thinking Antigua/somewhere like Antigua. Not Barbados, went there last year.

Money not that important, but not stupid. Think of it as a used Ferarri 355. Expensive, yes. But good value, and still stunning.

Hi,
I returned from a holiday in the Maldives on Monday evening and absolutely loved it, amazing snorkelling and wild-life, fruit-bats, turtles, sharks and a Manta Ray (all be it a baby). No golf though. ;o)

Well worth considering, there are resorts to cater for all sorts of budgets and requirements.

My good lady and I have the same issue, not sure where we want to go.

Head to a travel agents and pick up the Kuoni brochure (the big one with the blue cover) it has loads of ideas in there to flick through.

Have a look at French Polynesia, Bora Bora is meant to be pretty impressive.

We went to LeMuria resort, Prasin, Seychelles for our honeymoon (as recommnded by GetCarter on here).

Definately would recommend it. Excellent hotel, great food, amazing surroundings and also plenty to do 'off site' (as long as you don't mind driving abroad).

Oh....... its also got a great golf course on site

Good call, it's wonderful and being discussed right now. Take care with the Maldives because our summer is their wet season I think...

Some Bora Bora pics:

Nice, was meant to spend my honeymoon there before work cut it short. Personally I think it pisses on the Maldives from what I researched.

Japamala

Stayed there after the Malaysian Grand Prix last year. You can fly in from Singapore or KL or travel from the mainland by boat.

Very relaxed atmosphere, good food in both restaurants, great bar at the end of the jetty, spa\massage, private plunge pools. We didn't bother leaving the resort, apending most of our time snorkling\vegging but they will arrange trips if you want them.

Can't wait to go back next year.

We did Antigua sort of. We had a 70+ ft crewed yacht for the two of us and sailed around the Island and up to Barbuda and back. They cooked, sailed and cleaned. Fab

In theory, but I've had better weather there in July compared to December.
