Sometimes, our ideal holiday is simply an opportunity to get away from the daily grind. It's about switching off our mobile phones, logging out of our email accounts and disconnecting from the hectic hustle and bustle of modern life – and reconnecting with the world in its most natural state. At Quintessentially Travel,one of our favourite spots for such an experience is Cayo Espanto, a private island resort located just off the coast of Belize.

rnThis exquisite hideaway is one of Central America's best kept secrets. Surrounded on all sides by the azure allure of the Caribbean, the island is within easy reach of some of the best scuba diving spots to be found anywhere on the planet. Whether it's the crystal-clear waters themselves, the golden sands of the island's beaches, the lush greenery of the native trees or the vibrant plumage of the birds which inhabit them, Cayo Espanto's colourful palette provides the perfect backdrop to truly feel at one with the world we live in.
