Give the gift of paradise. Islands features hundreds of lush and romantic island escapes, each exquisitely photographed in full colour. The pounding waterfalls and verdant landscapes of Cheju- Korea's answer to Hawaii. Santorini's vivid white buildings. A red-and-gold sunset over Sri Llanka. A longboat drifting in the turquoise waters off Phuket. Empty beaches, hidden coves, palm trees, infinite shades of blue. It's a year of seductive beauty and sheer serenity- the ultimate getaway indeed.
