What about Kenya?

Some days in Mombasa in a nice hotel at the beach, then proceed with one or two Safaris in good lodges?

Would be a good mix between beach/relax travel and some outdoor-adventure with wonderful sights!

Good luck

I agree with Phoenix... French Polynesia would be the go. Head over and enjoy some time there, splitting between the islands of Bora Bora and Moorea. You will be fine on a 10,000 Euro budget.

Just don't stay in Tahiti.

How about the Seychelles? NS from CDG on HM (AF codeshare). Dunno about earning miles/status.

India has some beautiful beaches, cultural sites, and as much craziness as you can stand.

If it were me, I'd drop 2,200EUR++ per ticket on two Biz-class tickets (AF Z Fare) ORY-PTP (Guadeloupe), then hop a quick flight to Saint-Barthlemy and stay at a Luxe resort or in a private villa.

OP's budget is 10k EUR - he'd only get a few days there on that budget.

The way the OP reads it looks like the budget includes flights. If not, then obv there is more room.

IMHO St. Barths is over rated. I used to vacation there back in the day. It's just another island. There are certainly more beautiful islands. It's dry, desert.

I like the idea of Mombasa with a safari. I've tried to get to Mombasa a couple of times, but never made it. I was planning to get there in Jan of this year.

Male and the Seychelles have always attracted me. (I don't think you can get to Male on Skyteam though).

male, maldives is where the airport is. the resorts are on private islands. much better value than seychelles, for luxury resorts.

st barts is definitely the most high end caribbean island, besides some of the private island resorts.
