Introduction
Exploration, relaxation, gastronomy and often all three – island holidays provide a traveller with coveted memories. On a domestic scale, New Zealand's South Island vies with its northern brother while, across the water, the food and wine trail of Tasmania prove that even the smaller islands can come with a big reputation.
Closer to home, experience the Atlantic's 'Floating Garden' as you meander Madeira's walking trails, or visit Sicily for world-class wines, idle pleasure and delightful ancient ruins.
For something truly special, retrace Darwin's footsteps and explore the Galápagos Islands aboard the excellent Yacht Isabela II – now with free domestic flights from Ecuador's historic capital, Quito.
But, if that all sounds too much, retreat to the golden sands of Antigua for a quintessential Caribbean getaway.
