International travel restrictions have been eased, offering the possibility of booking long-awaited summer getaways. The UK government’s “green list” features several bucket-list-worthy destinations known for their luxury accommodation, resorts and thriving restaurant scenes. Now is the ideal time to seek new experiences and tick these trendy locations off your travel wishlist.
Iceland
This picturesque country boasts glaciers, waterfalls and volcanic springs like you’ve never seen them before. While mountainsides and majestic open spaces draw travellers to Iceland, it is the activities that make this a bucket-list destination. From ice caving to scuba diving, this country has it all. Iceland has one of the world’s highest vaccination rates and all restrictions have been lifted.
Barbados
The island of Barbados is known for its stunning beaches and tropical waters. The east side of Barbados is a fantastic and little-known spot for surfing, while the west side has the calmest waters and most luxurious places to stay. This historic island has some of the best restaurants in the Caribbean and the capital, Bridgetown, is steeped in culture.
Turks & Caicos Islands
These beautiful islands are the ideal destination for a truly relaxing getaway. With jewel-coloured waters and light sandy beaches, you really can find paradise here. There are around 100 islands in this group and just nine are inhabited. Fly into the airport on Providenciales and take a short onward flight to an exclusive resort where you can spend time in tranquillity.
Bermuda
This group of Atlantic islands is the ideal location for immersing oneself in another culture. At more than 600 miles from the closest landmass, this tropical destination feels set apart from the rest of the world. It is not hard to find something to fill up the days spent here – from engrossing art galleries to wreck-diving trips, there are activities to suit all tastes. After a day spent in the capital Hamilton or snorkelling on the reef, the vibrant dining scene awaits you.
