AQUAMARINE water, white sand beaches and luxurious villas with beachfront dining… no, we're not talking about the Caribbean – this idyllic island is much closer to home.
Located just 28 miles off the Cornish coast, the island of Tresco has been dubbed 'Mustique without the mosquitoes'.
It's a favourite of the royals – and used to be owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
Over the years members of The Firm have travelled there to escape the public glare and hustle and bustle of royal life.
In 1989 then-Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana vacationed on the island with their young sons Princes William and Harry.
While they no longer own the island, the royals still own a property there, Dolphin House, which is part of the Duchy of Cornwall's impressive property portfolio.

Nicknamed the 'Cornish Caribbean', Tresco is completely car-free.
It's privately owned after the lease for the Isles of Scilly was acquired from the Duchy of Cornwall by a wealthy philanthropist called Augustus Smith in 1834.
Mr Smith, who was an MP for Truro, built his home on the island of Tresco, and started the sub-tropical Tresco Abbey Gardens.
Although the other islands have since gone back to the Duchy of Cornwall, Tresco remains in the procession of his descendants, Robert and Lucy Dorien-Smith.
