What the brief needs

Send these five points and we can begin. Anything you leave out, we will come back to once.

• Destination. Maldives or the UAE, plus the atoll or emirate if you already have one in mind.
• Dates and nights. Your arrival window and how many nights you want on the ground.
• Party. How many travellers, and the ages of anyone under 18.
• Budget band. A per-person range, so the comparison stays honest.
• Board and pace. Half board, all inclusive or room only; quiet or active.

How long a dossier takes

A single-resort comparison is ready in one working day. A full dossier, with a curated shortlist and a transfer timeline, takes three working days. If you travel within 14 days, put that in the message field and we will say straight away whether the window is workable.

What happens after you send it

1. We acknowledge the brief within one working day.
2. We build a shortlist of three to five resorts and compare them on the same four variables: resort, board, transfer time and price delta.
3. You receive the dossier. Exclusions sit next to every price, never in a footnote.
4. You choose a resort. We coordinate the transfers and confirm what you still need to arrange.

The studio works on a flat planning fee and takes no resort, airline or transfer commission, so nothing in the shortlist is steered by who pays us. See the comparison table, or open the trip brief form.
