for one week end of april, kids/baby friendly destination and hotel (we will be traveling with one baby 10 months and one toddler 3 years), not too far away from dubai (max. 6 hours flight). Any ideas ladies? Thanks so much!

thank you so much ladies. Kota looks amazing, but I am afraid it will be a little bit too far with the 2 children. Will look for the seychelles, hope to find something very kids friendly. More recommendations welcome;-) TIA

Thanks ladies. @ Abby: can you recommend a hotel in Kota? When I went to Kota Kinabalu with DH and DD (1y.o then), we stayed at Karambunai. It's a bit isolated and we hardly leave the hotel during that one week. I had a good massage and DH played golf on his own. DD love the beach. http://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?sid=8fb7074dbfdad303bed86efc6e6d5b0e;class_interval=1;idf=1;offset=0;score_min=0;si=ai%2Cco%2Cci%2Cre%2Cdi;ss_all=0;;city=-2404760;origin=disamb;srhash=2525255101;srpos=1 And Shang ri la also have good reputations in Malaysia http://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?sid=8fb7074dbfdad303bed86efc6e6d5b0e;city=-2404760;class_interval=1;country=my;idf=1;radius=15;score_min=0;si=ai%2Cco%2Cci%2Cre%2Cdi;ss_all=0;ssb=empty;offset=0;rows=20 Btw, Kota Kinabalu is not an island in Sabah. It is the capital city of Sabah. If you fancy an island in Sabah, it would be Sipadan Island ;)

Seychelles 4 1/2 hr flight, we went when my Son was 10 mths & I was 5 mths pregnant with no2. We rented a self catering bungalow & car & had a lovely time exploring. Otherwise for more of a pampering time try Mauritius - has great hotels with kids clubs etc, all-incluisive option also available, or for a complete chill Maldives....... Enjoy! Oh, how nice....I'm jealous!

how about Kota Kinabalu... went with our DD when she was just 9months old... and we had a lovely time... a lovely island in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo... usually you have to catch a flight to KL and then a short flight to Kota Kinabalu
