Luxury Island Escapes: Your Ticket to Paradise

There's nothing quite like escaping to a luxury island paradise. It’s secluded enough to bring a sense of wonder and tranquillity, while still boasting adventure and fun for those looking for excitement. 
Here are some of Sovereign’s top island escapes, ensuring you find the ultimate island holiday of your dreams. From volcanoes and a plethora of golden sandy bays to diving delights and secluded coves, your luxury island holiday with Sovereign awaits.

Starting with a bang, where over three million years ago, the three islands of Adeje, Anaga, and Teno were brought together by massive volcanic activity. Today, this leader in island holiday spectaculars is known as Tenerife. 

Tenerife holidays offer everything you could want from an island escape. From incredible natural landscapes at Teide National Park and the infamous Mount Teide itself to beachside bliss thanks to the year-round sunshine, Tenerife offers something for everyone. 

If adventure is on your island holiday to-do list, look no further than Mount Teide. As the highest peak in Spain, you’re in for an exciting adventure overlooking the stunning Tenerife, along with out-of-this-world views across the ocean to La Gomera and Gran Canaria. Standing at a whopping 3,718m above sea level, this UNESCO World Heritage site is not to be missed on holidays in Spain. 

Once you head back down to earth, the exhilarating slides at Siam Park await. As one of the biggest waterparks in Europe, you’re in for a day of white-knuckle fun in the Spain sun. You can also head to the golden sand beaches of Costa Adeje for a world of watersports with clear blue ocean as far as the eye can see. 

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a more relaxed island holiday, Tenerife is also full of calm and tranquil activities that will have you feeling rested. Costa Adeje offers Blue-Flag awarded sands, where you can sunbathe and swim to your heart's content. Making your way onto land, there is a bevy of fantastic restaurants and bars along the beachfront to keep your tastebuds tantalised. Sundowners after a day of balmy sunshine await!

If you’re looking to pack more into one island escape, why not consider a multi-destination holiday? Sovereign’s Tenerife & La Gomera trip offers 14 days of island holiday bliss, venturing to the best parts of Tenerife where sunshine and beach days await, before heading to La Gomera for sensational sunsets and unique black sand beaches. 

Standing at the entrance to the Adriatic, with Greece on one side and Italy on the other, welcome to Corfu, a cultural sensation. Here, you will find the ideal mix of natural splendour and history hunting, with the island holding the title of the greenest of the Greek Islands and the stunning Corfu Town holding UNESCO World Heritage status.

The rolling green hills, pine-covered mountains, and over two million olive trees make Corfu a hotspot for those looking for outdoor adventure. Island escapes in Corfu are full to the brim with things to do, including incredible hiking and biking trails. 

If you’re looking for the epitome of island holiday bliss, Corfu offers some sensational beaches along the coast. From soft sand and shingle bays to private coves and tranquil turquoise waters, your luxury island holiday awaits. A beach adventure is also in sight at the neighbouring isles of Antipaxos and Paxos, just a short boat trip from the historic Corfu harbour. 

For a tranquil island holiday in Greece, Moraitika, on the east coast of Corfu, offers days of balmy beach bliss on the golden sand beach. Leisurely walks through the town will bring you to some fantastic local restaurants and bars, offering the best traditional Greek food. The friendly and welcoming locals will have you feeling at home in no time. 

Sovereign’s choice for idyllic Corfu holidays is the luxuriously elegant adults-only Domes Miramare Resort. Here you can spend your days in the lap of luxury, with afternoons at the spa, lounging at your private pool, and savouring every bite at the onsite restaurants with Michelin-starred menus. For luxury at its finest, the villas are an absolute must, placing you in a 5-star sanctuary with everything needed for a romantic island holiday, private beach views included.

While the Greek Islands might not be the first thing you think about for an island holiday, they should be! Rhodes is one of the most popular islands in Greece, offering a cultural delight with sugar-cube villages, incredible architecture, and fascinating history. Walking through the villages transports you to a calm and relaxed atmosphere, where your only worry is getting to the best spots for sundowners. 

Foodies are in for a treat, with Rhodes holidays inviting you to savour some of the best traditional Greek cuisine at the local tavernas. From freshly caught succulent seafood to favourites like Souvlaki, your taste buds are in for a journey all their own. 

If you’re looking for the ideal sunbathing spot with pristine ocean conditions for swimming and snorkelling, Rhodes is the place to be with plenty of sand and pebble beaches, waiting to transport you to relaxation bliss. Kallithea is where you want to be for peace and tranquillity, with spa days and secluded coves on the cards for your island holiday in Greece. 

History hunters, a trip to Lindos is a must while on holiday in Rhodes. Lindos is home to its very own acropolis, offering incredible views over the island. Then it’s off to the temple remains and towers for a step back in time, before venturing inland for natural splendour, with olive groves and pine forests waiting to be explored. The old quarter of Rhodes Town is another historical marvel, offering the Temple of Aphrodite, the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, and the Archaeology Museum.
