treasure islands
As the temperature drops in the Northern Hemisphere,
a certain flight impulse takes hold in travelers’ hearts. So, to help facilitate
your escape, we offer a dozen of the world’s best island destinations—
from tropical to temperate, and classic to unexpected.
IF YOU’RE ENTERTAINING
thoughts of taking
a year away from it all—try the Exumas. This
Bahamian archipelago consists of 365 cays
and islands, one for every day of the year.
Sure, there’s not much in the way of variety,
but that’s the point. This is a place in which to
sit back and do nothing, except maybe try to
count how many different shades of blue there
are in the blend of ocean and sky; or attempt
to distinguish between the murmuring of the
waves and the breeze, rising occasionally to
dabble your feet in the water; or climb aboard
a rickety little boat and bob to the next cay
over, where you’ll quickly immerse yourself
in more of the same.
