island escape

Beach vacation destination

Island escape refers to a getaway or vacation to an island, especially one promising relaxation and tropical scenery: We booked an island escape to the Caribbean.

The phrase evokes palm trees, beaches, and distance from everyday stress.

It also describes the act of fleeing an island, though this sense is far less common: The prisoner's island escape made headlines.
