A tranquil corner of 'paradise' is just a short hop from the mainland UK - and it's owned by none other than Prince William.
Described as "outstandingly beautiful, uncrowded and unspoiled" on the official tourist board website, the Isles of Scilly are located not far off the coast of Cornwall, and are around one hour away from southwest England by plane.
As well as its royal connections - being under the Prince of Wales' inheritance as part of the Duchy of Cornwall - the enchanting archipelago is also known for its enviable micro-climate, boasting flora and fauna you would not typically expect to find in Britain within its famous botanical gardens.
