Anyone who dreams of waking up on holiday next to white sand beaches, surrounded by clear blue seas and with a sense of isolation should consider booking an island getaway.
One travel agent, i-escape.com, has suggested some of the world’s best island retreats and one location in Thailand is top of its list.

For anyone who would like to do more than simply lounge on a beach, there are several activities available for guests to try, including canoeing and snorkelling.
