Island Escapes

Create your tailor-made island escape holiday with Far & Wild

Find your own island escape paradise

Discover and explore island escapes around Africa, the Indian Ocean, South and Central America and Southeast Asia

Explore islands beyond the Mediterranean with our tailor-made island holidays.

Africa’s network of islands, both off its coastline and tucked away on the extensive lakes of the Great Rift Valley, are perfect places to escape the world and enjoy paradise. The spice island of Zanzibar off Tanzania's coast is undoubtedly the best-known, offering beautiful beaches, watersports, and Stone Town's culture. Islands like Pemba, Mafia, and Songo Songo are also amazing spots. In South and Central America, the coral cays of Belize's Barrier Reef and Isla Mujeres off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula tempt with turquoise waters. The Galapagos Islands offer wildlife and diving opportunities in addition to relaxing vibes. Southeast Asia charms with islands like Indonesia's Bali, the Philippines' Boracay and Palawan, and Malaysia's Langkawi, noted for their lush scenery. The Indian Ocean too dazzles, especially the Seychelles and Mauritius, where you can spend an entire holiday immersed in local life and lovely beaches.

Whether hoping to pair an island escape with other adventures or indulge in a dedicated beach retreat, options abound across these regions. From activity-packed holidays to blissful relaxation, islands deliver on tropical fantasies with snow-white sand, swaying palms, delicious seafood, rich cultures, and more postcard-worthy offerings. Any island aficionado will find their version of paradise amongst these myriad gems.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
