Are you planning for your first ever international trip? No worries! We have a list of places that are perfect for firsttime getaways.
Bali
Bali is ever charming. Photographs cannot describe the beauty of its beaches, coral reefs, temples and forest areas. The temples, especially Tanah Lot, are quite a sight. The Mt. Batur is another amazing experience.
Top attractions: Tanah Lot, Kuta Beach, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran Beach.
Maldives
Maldives is an amazing beach destination. Here you can spend quality time away from the city life. Its bright blue shoreline, clean air and white sand can make you start feeling as if you had landed in heaven. Then you get on a seaplane to the hotel that you have booked. The seaplane journey is an adventure that helps you see some of the most beautiful islands.
Top attractions: water sports, beach and outdoor activities, local markets and more.
Mauritius
Whether you are into scenic beauty, adventure, or food, this island will not disappoint you.

If you are visiting Ile Aux Cerfs, ensure you reach the island as early as possible as it closes at 4 pm.
