Islands and archipelagos can be the perfect escape from everyday life. Tell us about your favourite, whether it be a tropical, desert island paradise fringed with white sand beaches and palm trees or a dramatic, windswept isle closer to home. And tell us why was it such a great place to visit – was it the beach, the hotel, the food, the people … or lack of them?
The best tips will appear in print in next weekend’s Travel section and the winner, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from Hotels.com, allowing you stay in over 260,000 places worldwide. You can share your tips by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article or you can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app. Try and include as much detail as possible – location, any website addresses etc – and feel free to add a photo if you own the copyright to it, but it will be the text we’re judging! Your tip should be around 100 words long. Terms and conditions.
Closes 11 February 10am GMT
