There's no better setting to jet away to, no better atmosphere to unwind in than an island resort. Equally suited to relaxing romantic getaways and exhilarating aquatic adventures, these idyllic utopias are a perfect picture of sun, sea and sand. Bask in the tranquil ambience and your worries just wash away with the tide.

Our island resorts are celebrated for their deserted beaches, crystal clear water, coral gardens, lush rainforests and exquisite atolls. These stunning, unspoiled tropical paradises have to be seen to be believed.

Even the most seasoned pacific traveller would struggle to imagine the impossibly blue Aitutaki Lagoon in the Cook Islands, rimmed with champagne-sand beaches nesting among palm fronds – or the just as spectacular Marshall Islands, known as the "pearl of the Pacific".

For something a little closer to civilisation, the gorgeous islands of the Philippines can't be overlooked. Try the Spanish-colonial inspired Plantation Bay Resort & Spa or the delightfully serene Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort.

Almost all island resorts offer villas and beachfront or overwater bungalow accommodation, by all accounts the most intimate accommodation in the South Pacific. Once you step directly off your personal sundeck into a sparkling lagoon you'll never want to stay anywhere else. Being suspended above the water doesn't prevent them from offering room service and top-notch facilities though. Satellite TV, pay-per-view, broadband internet - enjoying a remote paradise doesn't mean you need to lose contact with the outside world.

Island resorts are the perfect base for activities like snorkelling, windsurfing, glass-bottomed boats and outrigger canoes. Beneath the surface is an abundance of tropical marine life for you to discover. If the thrill of the catch is more your thing, extraordinary deep-sea fishing spots are never far away. When the time comes to settle down though, don't miss the opportunity to while away the hours in a hammock strung between palm trees, sipping cocktails beneath the setting sun.
