Suggestions pls - Dubai then................???
Discussion
Looking to head away for 10 days or so via Dubai (we'll spend 3 days at the start of the holiday visiting friends there) then a week somewhere else, so far we've thought of the Seychelles, Maldives or Malaysia but haven't ruled anything in or out other than the 3days in Dubai at the beginning.
Any tips/suggestions/shared experiences would be much appreciated.

I've done Dubai - Maldives twice, Dubai - Bali, Dubai - KL. All very different, Maldives is ultimate private island getaway - perfect for relaxing and unwinding with great food and diving on the side - but mega £££, Bali is a cheap beach getaway, with some hidden gems if you use your time in the north side of the island, KL is a Hot humid bustling city with very keenly priced high quality Accomodation (recommend the executive floors in the Hilton - tv in the shower was cool!) and plenty to see.
How much do you want to spend in the week after Dubai, and what type of hol are you after?

Looking for a decent place to chill out for a week, 4/5 star hotel with a Spa (for the missus) in a scenic location would do the trick. Someone mentioned to me heading to KL from Dubai, doing a couple of days sighseeing in KL and then heading to Langkawi for a week - has anyone done this trip?
Would be interested to hear more about Maldives, Mauritius etc.

I can thoroughly reccomend www.komandoo.com in the maldives. total relaxation
Dubai is good for a few days to see the touristy bit. the Maldives is a fantastic place. A proper place to relax and do nothing more than sun bath, eat and drink. However, there are plenty of watersports to keep you busy if you're into that sort of thing.
Pick your Island carefully though. Many now have live entertainment and that sort of thing, whereas others have nothing...depends on what you want.
Oh, and if you dive...as someone else mentioned, Manta Bay or Point, is a must...brilliant experience.
