Conde Nast lists best islands for vacation getaway

Associated Press

Looking for an island vacation? Consider Greenland, Sicily and Sri Lanka, all listed among the world’s best islands in the July issue of Conde Nast Traveler.

Greenland is recommended for its extraordinary landscapes and undisturbed habitats, Sicily for its cuisine, and Sri Lanka — where tourism is surging — for epitomizing “peace in paradise,” an image that is gradually replacing its outdated reputation as a war-torn country.

Conde Nast Traveler’s July issue also announces its annual Ecotourism Awards: Yachana Lodge in Ecuador, which introduces visitors to the Amazon; Hoopoe Adventure Tours in East Africa, staffed by locals who work to improve schools and clinics; and Cousin Island Special Reserve in the Seychelles, an eco-friendly operation that protects wildlife — and relies on solar power.
