Two islands, one trip.
Why split a stay between two resorts, and the pairings that work.

The idea
Two kinds of island in one holiday.
Splitting a stay between two resorts gives you two different islands in one trip: a beach villa and then a water villa, a livelier island and then a quiet one, or a reef for diving and then a spa. The day you move is a travel day, so it works best with enough nights on each island.
Plan your stayPairings
Ways to split a week or more.
A few pairings that suit different trips.
Beach, then water
A beach villa first, then a few nights over the lagoon.
Lively, then quiet
An island with more going on, then a quiet one to finish.
Reef, then rest
An island known for its diving, then a spa island or a quiet one.
Near, then far
If your flight lands late, a first night on a speedboat island near the airport, then a seaplane island the next day.
Two atolls
Two islands in different atolls, for different reefs and different views.
A celebration, then rest
A celebration on one island, then a few quiet days on another.
