Quick answer
This Singapore, Maldives and Dubai holiday is 12 nights on a one-way route: the UK to Singapore, on to Malé, then Dubai and home. Return flights from the UK, both flights between the stops, three 5-star hotels and airport transfers are included. Prices start from £3,839 per person based on two sharing, lowest for October 2026 departures. ATOL 10713 protected.
The route runs east to west. After the overnight flight out you spend three nights at The Fullerton Bay Hotel in Singapore, five at OBLU SELECT Lobigili in North Malé Atoll and three at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai. That makes twelve nights, the first of them in the air.
The pace changes at each stop. Singapore is a walking city with hawker food and late evenings. Lobigili is a small island where the day turns on the reef and the tides. Dubai is big, loud and spread out, so you will use taxis rather than your feet.
Why You'll Love It
Included
Not included
Day by Day
Overnight flight from the UK to Changi Airport, landing the following day. A private driver takes you to The Fullerton Bay Hotel for three nights. The days are free. Gardens by the Bay and the evening light show at Marina Bay Sands are within walking distance, and the Lau Pa Sat hawker centre is close by for a cheap, good dinner.
A private transfer takes you back to Changi for the included flight to Malé. At Velana International Airport the resort team meets you for the speedboat across to OBLU SELECT Lobigili, where you check in for five nights. Keep the evening light, as it has been a full travel day.
Time on the island is your own. Snorkel the house reef, book a treatment at ELENA The Spa, or reserve a table at Only BLU, the resort’s underwater restaurant, early in your stay so you get the evening you want. You are on the Lobi Plan throughout.
After breakfast, the speedboat returns you to Velana for the included flight to Dubai. A private driver meets you on arrival and takes you to Atlantis, The Palm for three nights. Ask for a table at one of the resort’s restaurants for the first evening, as you will land with little appetite for a taxi into town.
Free days for the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, an abra across the Creek to the Gold and Spice Souks, or time on the hotel beach. On the last day a private transfer takes you to the airport for your flight back to the UK.
Where You'll Stay
5-star hotel
A 5-star hotel on the Marina Bay waterfront, looking across the water to the Marina Bay Sands skyline. The rooftop has a pool and Lantern, an open-air bar over the bay, which is the place for a first-evening drink. Your room category and board are confirmed on your quote, and a bay-view room can be priced if the view matters to you.
5-star hotel
A 5-star island resort in North Malé Atoll, about 15 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, with transfers run around the clock to meet arrivals. Beach and water villas are available, and your villa category is set out on your quote. You stay on the Lobi Plan, the resort's all-inclusive board, and every villa is booked for a minimum of two adults.
5-star hotel
A 5-star resort on the crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with its own long beach. Staying here gives you unlimited entry to Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost World Aquarium, the former Lost Chambers, which reopened under its new name in October 2025. Your room category and board are confirmed on your quote, and a higher-floor or suite option can be priced.

Every flight moves you forward, and nothing doubles back. The overnight flight out to Singapore takes about 13 to 14 hours non-stop from London, and lands the next day. Singapore to Malé is about 4 hours 30 minutes. Malé to Dubai is a little over 4 hours, and Dubai to the UK is roughly 7 to 8 hours.
So there are four flights on four separate travel days, and three hotel check-ins. If Dubai holds no appeal, our Bali, Singapore and the Maldives tour swaps the city stop for Bali.
Flying straight home from Malé is a long day, and from a regional airport you will usually change somewhere anyway. Ending in Dubai breaks that journey into two shorter flights, with three nights in between.
The clock also turns back in steps. Singapore is UTC+8, the Maldives UTC+5 and Dubai UTC+4, so the last leg leaves only three or four hours to absorb. You finish in a city with shops and restaurants, which makes the end of the trip less abrupt. If you would rather end on the sand, the two-stop Dubai and Maldives holiday runs the other way.
The three stops do not share one neat season. Here is how they compare month by month, starting with October 2026.
| Months | Singapore | Maldives | Dubai daytime high |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct–Nov | Afternoon storms, with November one of the three wettest months. | Wet season. | 36°C easing to 31°C. |
| Dec–Jan | Still in the wettest spell. | December changeable, January dry. | 24–26°C. |
| Feb–Mar | February is the driest month. | Dry season, 10–11 hours of sun. | 25–29°C. |
| Apr–May | Thunderstorms. | April changeable, wet from mid-May. | 33–37°C. |
| Jun–Sep | South-west monsoon. | Wet season. | About 40°C and above. |
February and March are the best overlap. November and December suit Dubai, but Singapore is in its wettest spell and the Maldives is only just turning dry.
| Country | British passport holders |
|---|---|
| Singapore | No visa needed. The officer sets your stay, normally 30 to 90 days. Submit the SG Arrival Card in the three days before you land. Vapes and e-cigarettes are banned. |
| Maldives | 30-day visa on arrival. Complete the IMUGA traveller declaration within the 96 hours before your flight arrives. Alcohol and pork products cannot be brought in. |
| UAE | Free visa on arrival, up to 90 days in any 180. Some prescription medicines need approval before you travel. |
A passport valid for six months from the day you land in Singapore covers all three. Read the FCDO advice for the UAE before paying a deposit. It warns that flights in the region may be cancelled at short notice, though it does not advise against travel.
Families cannot book it as it stands, because Lobigili takes adults only. If the beach is the real reason for the trip and the cities are a sideshow, a single-resort stay may be better value. Our Maldives holiday guide covers that.
And if four flights in 12 nights sounds tiring, a two-stop trip will suit you better. Our other multi-centre holidays cover shorter pairings.
