Picture a dazzling blue ocean stretching as far as the eye can see, the waves lapping gently at the soft sands at your feet. Beneath the waves: life in infinite beauty, coral reefs and fish and marine animals like you’ve never seen. Above the surface: a boundless realm to explore, warmed by the generous sunlight; at the water’s edge, all the luxury you could dream of. This, and more, is what awaits you on your island escape.

A holiday like no other, a true island getaway will transport you to what feels like another world, awash with unforgettable beauty. There’s private islands on the Indian Ocean, secluded and serene, with white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs to discover. There’s closer-to-home marvels in Europe, each with their own unique spirit, from the outstanding culture and history of Crete to the dramatic landscapes of Rhodes. There’s remote paradises in Asia, each waiting to show you their wonders. No matter which calls to you most, your island holiday will be a masterpiece.

Stay in beautiful sea-viewing suites with expansive balconies, or sumptuous over-water villas where you can watch the fish swim by beneath your deck. Treat yourself to stunning variety in cuisines from all over the world, or fresh seafood caught locally in the very waters you wake to each day. Unwind with indulgent massages, take trips out onto the water, kayak through the shallows, or dive beneath the waves. There’s no wrong way to enjoy your island getaway.
