The Rough Guide to the 100 Best Islands in the World

The Rough Guide to the 100 Best Islands in the World — the latest picture-packed addition to Rough Guides’ Inspiration range — reveals the world’s most spectacular archipelagos in a brand-new gift book.

From tiny sand-laced specks in tropical waters to remote Arctic archipelagos and wildlife-rich Ecuadorian islands, Rough Guides has combed every corner of the globe to find the most beautiful, curious and surprising islands. 

In this photo-rich coffee-table book, Rough Guides' dedicated team of experts reveal their favourite spots, from the Bay of Naples’ best-kept secret to a haven of pristine wilderness off Canada’s Pacific Coast.

Whether you’re after nature, history, wildlife or culture, we’ve got the island for you. This fully illustrated book aims to inspire readers to head off the mainland and escape the tourist trail, whether that’s to the wind-contoured Faroe Islands, the sun-soaked Caribbean or the remote southwest coast of Japan. 

Over 150 stunning images combine with authoritative text and insider information to give a strong flavour of each destination in this first-edition hardback book.

With every destination selected by expert Rough Guides’ authors and editors, this brand-new, hardback book arms travellers with visual inspiration that’ll enthuse them to get out there and explore the world with fresh eyes.
