Are you dreaming of an island escape? You don’t have to venture beyond Europe.

From Sardinia’s turquoise coves to Greece’s whitewashed villages, Europe is home to some of the world’s most spectacular island retreats. And with the island hotel scene only gaining momentum, there’s never been a better time to visit.

In recent months, a wave of new openings have already welcomed guests including Zannier Hotels' Zannier Île de Bendor in France, Mykonos’ first Four Seasons hotel, and the Mamula Island by Banyan Tree in Montenegro's Bay of Kotor.

This momentum is showing no sign of slowing down with more highly anticipated openings on the horizon set to debut this year and beyond.

Whether you’re looking to add a wellness escape getaway or seeking an upscale waterfront retreat, here are the island stays to keep on your radar.
