Packed full of trustworthy and up-to-date advice, check out the new Lonely Planet Maldives travel guide. Unrivalled luxury, stunning white-sand beaches and an amazing underwater world make Maldives an obvious choice for a true holiday of a lifetime. Encounter hammerhead sharks on a dawn dive, find your perfect luxury beach resort or family-run guesthouse, and hop around by seaplane for a view of coral atolls, blue lagoons and tiny desert islands - all with your trusted travel companion.

Lonely Planet writer Tom Masters explains why he loves Maldives: "I first came to Maldives with no idea how different it was to the rest of the world, how fragile or challenging life seems here at the mercy of the sea, with so few resources locally available. I instantly formed a bond of respect and friendship with the people who make these inhospitable coral islands home. It's such a contradiction that this is also where to find some of the world's most luxurious hotel properties, and this is a paradox - among many - that I continue to enjoy every time I return to this astonishing beautiful country."

Insight Guides Launches Unique Trip to Guatemala

Insight Guides launches new bookable trip to Guatemala & Belize alongside publication of their latest Guatemala & Belize travel guide. The trip is planned by local experts to give the traveller a truly off-the-beaten-track experience.

 Why is this trip special?

The latest trip to be launched is a trip to Guatemala and Belize, where travellers can enjoy an in-depth glimpse into Guatemalan and Belizean life - visiting local schools, strolling along local markets, and visiting a Mayan ceremony.

As the trip is planned by local experts who know all about the quirky, unusual things to do that tourists don’t know about, this trip is a great way to experience the parts of Guatemala and Belize that you wouldn’t be able to book yourself. The unique aspects of the trip include:

●      Take part in a Mayan ceremony with a local Shaman

●      Learn ancient cookery and weaving skills in Chichicastenango

●      Have a bird's view of ancient temple in Mirador Basin (with the optional helicopter ride). You will be away from the main tourist throng as this temple is only accessible by helicopter or a very long trek.

●      Give back to social community by helping at a local school

●      Add a luxurious touch by relaxing at the second-largest barrier reef in the world in Belize

Eva, the local expert in Guatemala, says,

 "With this package, you are able to enjoy the top destinations of Guatemala and Belize, including stays in only the finest hotels and having unmatched insider access to the culture and history along with passionate guides, who will join you every step of the way. Additionally, you can pamper yourself in the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean with the barefoot luxury of Belize."
