Maldives/Dubai, Zighy Bay, Carribean, Bora Bora, Argentina, South Africa

Hello all. I had posted the below thread in FATTravel, but never asked the question here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FATTravel/comments/1loofpf/amalfi_monte_carlo_bali_maldives_for_honeymoon/

Essentially after that thread and doing my research on reddit, because of our timing (see below please), Europe destinations were cut out, even though it seemed like a great fit. I would appreciate it if you can provide insight on the best destination(s) from the above, given:

  1. We have two weeks (including travel time) being last week of Feb/first week of March

  2. We both NEED really, really, really good food, cleanliness and excellent service! These are paramount for us. Oh, huge coffee fans and we love to explore any and every coffee shops and just chat away.

  3. We DO WANT to relax as we'll be going right after the wedding BUT… not too much…Meaning, both of us would get pretty bored after say 3-4 days of being just at a tropical beach, doing nothing/having nothing to do (unless of course they food is freaking amazing!) We also don't really try to stay in the sun a lot a lot, but we don't mind if there are really cool water/beach things to do (surfing, snorkeling, beach volleyball with other people) but not anything extreme water activities wise as we both have a fear of deep ocean water.

Essentially, we like to dress up, go out, get coffee, explore things in cities/shopping/museums, then explore bougee restaurants/lounges/bars to get amazing food, and then sometimes head to da clubs etc etc, then come back and relax lol From my research:

  1. Maldives was suggested for the complete relaxation spots, but I read the food in Maldives is "meh" so that is a pretty big blow to it, not matter how much of an experience it may be. Therefore, we would pair it up with Dubai at seems exotic to us (but the sub doesn't seem to like it lol) Like we would really like a desert excursion on Camels we feel but then come back to a bustling city, ready to go out.

  2. I came across Zighy Bay and it also seems exotic and I read the food is amazing!

  3. Carribean (St. Lucia, St. Barths, Turks and Caicos) was also suggested as having more things to do compared to Maldives.

  4. I threw in Argentina because perhaps, just assuming, Buenos Aires may offer that "bougee" vibe of exploring a city, shopping, restaurants/lounges etc with, hopefully, amazing food, and then you can also relax at a 5 star after all of the exploring.

  5. South Africa seems like it may check all the boxes because I read the food is amazing, plus you can get the relaxation at a 5 star in Cape Town,

  6. Bora Bora I read was one of the most beautiful places to go (even compared to Maldives!)

So what would be the best options given these and if there are others, please let me know! Thank you again in advance!!!
