Seven ways into the register

The Collections

Shown by how a island is lived, not where it is.

Each record sits on one shelf, and appears across as many editorial series and filters as it earns. The shelves are entrances, not a scientific taxonomy.

• Entire Island38The island is taken whole, by one party. Nothing is shared, because there is no one to share it with.
• Little Paradises53Twenty-five keys or fewer. Small enough that the staff learn your name on the first evening.
• Island Resorts65A complete resort on an island of its own — restaurants, spa, dive centre, children's club.
• Island Worlds18A hundred keys or more on a single island, large enough that guests move by bicycle.
• Archipelagos & Atolls15One property holding several islands, a lagoon or a whole atoll. The water is part of the estate.
• Island Societies14A resort alongside private houses. You arrive as a guest and leave knowing the neighbours.
• Heritage & Singular18A fortress, a castle, a tidal island, an island in a river or a lake. Islands that are not tropical at all.
