island life

Surrounded by sea

Island life is a relaxed, unhurried way of living associated with tropical islands and coastal communities.

The phrase evokes images of beaches, warm weather, and freedom from mainland stresses: We moved to Hawaii for the island life.

It can describe an actual lifestyle or an aspirational escape from routine: On vacation, we're fully embracing island life.
