The summer holidays encourage us to discover more and more destinations. In search of tranquility and beautiful beaches, here are 5 heavenly islands to enjoy this summer, far from crowds.
Palmaria in Italy
Transparent blue sea, steep cliffs, white sand beaches… In between Florence and Milan, Palmaria is reminiscent of Saint-Tropez in the 1960s. Very lively, there are lots of stores for shopping, cafes, fruit and vegetable merchants. Not to mention the gorgeous coves and the Regional Nature Park, which is excellent for hiking and walking tours.
Virgin Gorda of the British Virgin Islands
Belonging to the group of islands in the British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda has everything from the paradise postcard. Formed with countless white sand beaches, each one more gorgeous than the last, the island is also famous for its baths, the natural basins wedged between rocks.
Hvar in Croatia
Among the prettiest islands in Croatia, Hvar promises a picturesque vacation. The island sprawls around a sheltered harbor packed with yachts, a vast paved piazza with a Renaissance-era cathedral at its center. The seafront is lined with palms leading up to a hilltop castle. Hvar is also known for its inland lavender fields.
Siargao in the Philippines
Off the radar, Siargao has become a popular spot for surfers in the Philippines. A tiny island in the southeast of the country, this destination offers a hot spot with wild nature, populated more by guest houses with their feet in the sand rather than five-star palaces. The Jacking Horse or Pacifico beaches are perfect for trying out the waves. For the less athletic, the natural pools let you splash around in the turquoise water.
Symi in Greece
Symi belongs to the archipelago of the Dodcanese island group. It’s known for its beaches, an annual music festival, and the colorful neoclassical houses at the harbor. Symi is a dream destination for travelers in search of fun and authenticity.
