If you weren't already craving a summer holiday, then pictures of the best island in the world, as voted by the travelling public, might just push you over the edge.

The title awarded by Travel + Leisure as part of their World's Best Survey takes into account traveller's reviews of islands including ratings for available activities and sights, natural attractions, beaches, food, how friendly the locals are, as well as overall value.

So the fact that Palawan Island in the Phillippines has taken the top spot shows that this place seriously isn't messing.
