THE world's most beautiful islands have been revealed - and the top spot is about to be easier to travel to from the UK. Sri Lanka coming in no.1. 6 The most beautiful island in the world has been revealed Credit: Alamy 6 I visited back in 2023 - and was shocked by the variety of activities They explained: "This teardrop-shaped island off the southern coast of India has it all, from golden beaches to terraced tea plantations. "Whiling away blissful days beach-hopping along the 833-mile coastline is part of the charm, but Sri Lanka offers much more beyond the shore. "Itineraries fill up quickly here, between the timeworn temples, colonial towns, misty mountains, and wildlife safaris in Yala National Park, home to tigers and elephants."

But the delicious food is worth the steam coming out of your ears, as I gorged on rice and poppadoms and freshly cooked dishes. The exotic holiday island with beautiful beaches and elephant safaris You'll easily be able to catch a cricket game as well, remaining as a huge part of the culture following the British colonization of the island. Brits can even drive on the left side of the road, so getting around the island by car is easy.

Brit tourist, 38, dies after Turkey hair transplant goes wrong with probe launched into clinic
A BRIT tourist has died after undergoing a hair transplant in Turkey, sparking a police investigation into the private clinic where the procedure was carried out. The 38-year-old flew to Istanbul and had the five-hour operation on Monday at the CINIK clinic in the city's Besiktas district. Advertisement 2 A Brit has died after getting a hair transplant in Turkey Credit: Getty 2 The man had flown to Istanbul for the procedure Credit: Getty But shortly after the surgery, the tourist became seriously unwell and was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment, according to Turkish outlet OdaTV. His body was later taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy before being repatriated to the UK. Police have launched a probe, treating the case as a possible 'reckless homicide'. Staff at the clinic — including the surgeon who performed the hair transplant, the anaesthesiologist and nurses — have already been quizzed by officers, it is understood.

When she arrived, doctors persuaded her to also undergo an arm tuck in a 'last-minute decision', her inquest heard. But she quickly developed alarming complications. Advertisement The assistant coroner for Rutland and North Leicestershire, Isobel Thistlethwaite, said Mrs Towlson complained her 'right arm was hurting' and that her 'compression garments were too tight'. Her right hand was said to have 'swelled up like a balloon and was seeping a clear liquid'. She sent a video to the Istanbul hospital showing her 'weeping and swollen' arm — but despite being told it would be shown to a doctor, she never received help. More to follow...
