We
searched the web for what the experts and pundits feel are the best islands in
the world. Even better, these islands all have vacation rentals, so you won't
be held captive by expensive resorts. You'll be able to truly live like a
native islander.

| Your Seychelles pool. |
In the middle of the Indian Ocean are the Seychelles, a group of 115 undeveloped islands. You won't find commercial resorts here--just white beaches where you can relax, and coral reefs you can explore snorkeling or scuba diving. The 115 islands are easy to access, so you can use your vacation rental as a home base. Be sure to hire a guide, so you maximize your time and have the best experience.

| A classic Mediterranean view on Santorini. |
Santorini, Greece
This
idyllic Mediterranean island provides perhaps the most iconic images of
Greece--the cobalt blue rooftops and sugar-cube white buildings clinging to
hillsides that climb dramatically out of the water. The island is what remains
of one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in recorded history, and while it can
get crowded, those crowds are also one of the reasons there's so much to do on
Santorini. You'll experience endless beauty and endless activity, if you like.
Because like any other island, you can always find a quiet beach.

You
won't find casinos and nightclubs on Anguilla, but you can find the old
Caribbean mixed with new, stunning vacation rentals. Enjoy a beautiful villa
and experience the reggae beats of authentic island culture all at once. Dine
poolside or enjoy fresh lobster at a hidden haunt only the locals know about.
If you're looking to get away from it all without spending eight or more hours
on a plane, Anguilla may just be the answer.
