Beautiful island destinations from above

Islands are simply magical. A tropical paradise is most tourists’ dream vacation, and for good reason. The beauty and charm of an idyllic and remote piece of land in the middle of the ocean is irresistible.

You might have seen your fair share of island images or maybe you’ve been on one yourself, but have you ever seen them from above?

These aerial shots will give you a new perspective and are worth musing over.

With thousands of people now self-isolating or working from home, this was the most appropriate picture we could find. Our hearts go out to all the tourism companies facing drops in sales, and people quarantined abroad. This is a picture of Love Island (also known as Galešnjak Island), in Croatia . In 2009 it was splashed across the world’s media when Google Earth pronounced it one of the few naturally heart-shaped islands in the world, something which fired up people’s imaginations. Today, it’s uninhabited, but it’s possible to visit the island for a picnic or proposal.
