Midoun is on Djerba Island, so island day trips need no ferry and rarely more than 30 minutes in a taxi. Mainland trips cross either the El Kantara causeway or the Ajim-Jorf ferry.

Romance in Matabeleland North means safari lodges, river views and sunsets rather than beaches or lake resorts.

Nauru is small enough to walk around, and the walking here is self-guided. There are no organised walking tour companies, so the routes below are ones you can do on your own, with a local guide for the mined interior. The terrain is flat on the coast and rough inland, and the heat is the main challenge on all of it. The ring road circuit The paved ring road is about 19 km long, flat and at sea...

Nauru has a handful of distinct sights, all within a short drive of each other on a 21 square kilometre island. They tell two stories: the wartime years under Japanese occupation, and a century of phosphate mining that shaped the land. All are best seen early or late in the day to avoid the heat. Command Ridge At 65 m above sea level, Command Ridge is the highest point on the island.

Nauru is not Bora Bora or Fiji. There are no overwater villas, no spa resorts and no honeymoon industry. What it offers couples is distance from everything else: a tiny island on the equator, almost no other visitors and long views over the open Pacific. It suits people who value remoteness over resort comfort, and it works best when you arrive expecting simple rooms and plain food. Ocean-view...

A stay on Nauru is shaped by the flight timetable. Nauru Airlines is the only passenger carrier and flies a few times a week, so you cannot choose any arrival and departure date you like. Most visitors spend three nights between flight rotations, and a full week suits divers, researchers and people who want a slow Pacific stay. Check nauruair.com for current days before you book anything else....

Nauru is a remote island, not a family resort. There are no amusement parks, waterparks, zoos, children’s museums or organised kids’ clubs.

Reef pools at low tide At low tide the fringing...

Matara has no official walking trail and no established walking-tour programme.

Midoun is a market town on the east side of Djerba Island, not a walled medina, so there is no single old-town circuit to follow. Walking here means picking a few areas where on-foot exploring pays off, and using a taxi to move between them. Distances between the areas run to roughly 15 to 22 km, which is too far to walk. Midoun market streets The best walk in town itself is through the central...

Sightseeing in Matara is a mix of colonial-era buildings in the town and temples and a lighthouse a little further out. The town centre is compact and busy, and none of the sights needs more than a couple of hours, so a full day covers them all with a tuk-tuk. Prices are in Sri Lankan rupees (LKR), and cash is useful. Check current travel advice before you go, and note that the sea is dangerous in...

Matara is a working town, not a resort, and that shapes what a couple can do here. The appeal is quiet: a sunset walk on the seafront, a calm reef lagoon, a beach stay away from the crowds and an early boat trip from nearby Mirissa. For places to stay, use the accommodation search below and read recent reviews. Prices are in Sri Lankan rupees (LKR), and cash is useful for tuk-tuks and small cafes.

Nauru has no tour agencies, no hop-on buses and no ticketed attractions. Guided touring here means asking a local driver or guide to take you around, and the arrangement is made face to face once you arrive. That suits a 21 square kilometre island well, because the main sights are close together and a driver who knows the tracks saves a lot of wandering. How a guided half-day works Ask the front...
