In 2025, the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the coast of Cornwall, have been named the best islands in the UK. This group of five inhabited islands, along with over 140 smaller islets and inlets, is known for its stunning natural beauty and tropical-like atmosphere.
The islands are renowned for their white sandy beaches, abundant seal populations, and remarkably mild climate. While the average temperature is just 11°C, the Isles of Scilly are the warmest part of the British Isles, with temperatures reaching as high as 20°C during the summer months between April and October.
The islands' popularity extends beyond their natural charms. In the past, the British royal family has been spotted vacationing on the Isles of Scilly. In 2020, Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, were seen cycling on Tresco Island, the second-largest in the archipelago.
With their unique blend of natural wonders and royal connections, the Isles of Scilly are poised to continue attracting visitors from across the UK and beyond in the years to come.
