The Ultimate Island Getaway Travel Guide of 2023

As winter approaches many people are already dreaming of getting away from the cold and visiting some warm and exotic locales. While some of the most well-known locations for warm weather and nice beaches can be found in Mexico or even Miami the reality is that your options are much more diverse especially if you are looking for something special like an island getaway. The problem with island getaways is that there are so many islands and it can be somewhat difficult to choose which one is the best for what you want to do. So let’s take a look at some of the best islands to escape to in 2023 and what kind of travel they offer.

Zanzibar

Let’s start with something extremely exotic and somewhat unusual for those who are in the mood for an exceptional and adventurous getaway. Known for its wonderful beaches and being the birthplace of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, Zanzibar will offer you great warm weather beautiful turquoise water, and wildly varied fauna. Some of the most well-known activities in Zanzibar is of course swimming with turtles. For those who prefer something a little bit more classy, you can find several great restaurants with rooftop terraces that offer you a great view of the island and the ocean. Although Zanzibar might require you to make a few pit stops during your flight it is different and word the detour.

Santorini

Now for something completely different. Santorini is an island in Greece of volcanic origin that will offer a little bit of everything for everyone. While it is extremely popular for newlyweds it is also the paradise for history buffs and those who are fans of ancient Greece and its history. Not only does it offer a familiar Greek aesthetic of white and blue buildings but it also harbors some of the most impressive and unique beaches in the world. With its black and red volcanic sand beaches Santorini will make a lasting impression on even the most well-traveled tourist. You will be able to not only taste some of Greece’s best cuisine but also admire wonderfully beautiful natural panoramas from impressive cliffsides. While Greece might not be your idea of an island getaway we are sure that Santorini has much more to offer than you can imagine.

The Galapagos Islands

While not exactly known for its cool and relaxing beaches this island is one of the most historically significant islands of the past century. Hundreds of miles off the coast of mainland Ecuador and once considered an island full of mystery it is now well known for its preservation efforts and the pioneering of Charles Darwin on its land. The result of a volcanic activity of centuries these islands offer you some of the most stunning and unusual sights from all around the globe. Whether you are interested in visiting one of the largest volcanic craters of the world or whether you are interested in meeting one of the famed Komodo Dragons these islands will offer you a trill that is unmatched by any other islands.

Borneo

Borneo is one of the most intriguing places in the world. Not only is it one of the biggest islands in the world but it is also shared by three different countries. If you visit the Indonesian, Malaysian, or the part that belongs to Brunei you will have the opportunity to see one of the most biodiverse natural habitats in the world. Not only is it home to some of the most diverse flora it also hides many secrets still in its dense forests. Despite decades of clearing and logging the island still preserves 50% of its rainforest and works to better the care of its natural habitat that makes its beauty. Who can say no to a natural beauty that allows you to visit three countries all at once? It is no wonder that Borneo has been one of the most prized tourist destinations for decades.

Bermuda

While for long-time travelers all around the world feared the terrifyingly mysterious Bermuda Triangle nowadays Bermuda is known as one of the prime locations for travel and island getaways. Well known for its welcoming population and ideal ambience for relaxation Bermuda is populated by tourists all year round. Whether you decide to explore the hidden coves and incredible natural sights of the island or prefer to lounge and sunbathe on the pink beaches Bermuda has a little bit of everything for everyone.
