"This 5th edition of the Exclusive Island Hotels & Resorts directory reinforces the achievement and acknowledgement of our exclusive hotel alliance, with 17 exceptional new establishments for an overall of 66 member’s properties. Each year we enrich our collection of member properties, to offer you an even wider choice of unique island hotels throughout the world.

In 2009, for the first time, we are pleased to welcome properties on the Indonesian island of Gili Trawangan, close to Lombok, in Sri Lanka, on Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, in Sicily or in the city of Venice. On islands and countries already featured, we are delighted to introduce new properties in Tanzania, Bali, Maldives, Philippines, Thailand, Dominican Republic and Madeira - all designed to make your every visit a unique experience.

Our multilingual team is at your disposal to give you information or to arrange your travel in detail, so that from the beginning, your stay will remain memorable.

I invite you now to glance into the heart of the dream, which I hope will soon become a true experience for you."
