It’d long been a dream destination for me to experience the culture, music, and food first-hand. Rather than the beaches most travelers flock to, I based myself in [Kingston]( and got a taste of the city along with day trips around the island. The trip reinforced a feeling I’ve long had about island travel: As compelling as the resorts are, it’s the beaches, natural beauty, and lifestyle found off of the luxury properties that make an island getaway so alluring. This year, Jamaica has more direct flights from the United States to bring people in, which means even more will get to fall for the island the same way I did. But the perfect island escape for one person isn’t the same for another. As the Matador team thought about their ideal island trips to take in 2024, a wide range of destinations came up — rugged and remote parts of Iceland, European holiday hotspots, and so much more. [These are the islands inspiring our travel plans]( the most this year.
