The Isles of Scilly are an archipelago, off the Cornish coast, in southwest England.
They include the five inhabited islands of St Mary's, Tresco, St Martin's, Bryher and St Agnes
The islands are covered in heathland and fringed by sandy beaches such as Great Bay on St. Martin's.
With a similarity to the Caribbean but only 28 miles from Cornwall's Land's End, St Martin's enjoys a subtropical micro-climate, white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters.
Two miles in length and warmed by the Gulf Stream, it offers a range of wildlife and the beaches that are never likely to be crowded.
St Martin's is also home to a boutique vineyard and, for accommodation, the Karma St Martin's with Prestige Holidays.
As with all the inhabited Isles of Scilly, a daily ferry boat service takes visitors from isle to isle.
