One of the last few private isles in the British Virgin Islands, 850-acre Guana Island is predominantly a nature reserve but also has an intimate 18-room resort.
After spending the day hiking 12 miles of trails and spotting rare animals, clients can turn their eyes to the unobstructed night sky to look out for meteor showers.

A stone’s throw across the sea from Antigua’s capital, St John’s, is Jumby Bay Island – an uber-luxurious paradise where, on a clear night, the Milky Way soars across the sky like a river.
Stellar photographers should set up their time-lapse shot from the remote eastern side of the private island, while those keener on simply savouring the moment can enjoy the view from an outdoor bath.
Book it: Caribtours sells seven nights’ all-inclusive from £8,459 per person, based on two sharing a Junior Suite. Includes UK lounge access, private transfers and flights on October 6.

Just 180 metres from the southern shore of Saint Vincent, Young Island Resort has a secluded feel and a lack of light pollution, but is close enough to civilisation that clients can enjoy the nightlife and historic attractions on the mainland. Budding stargazers might even spot the blue planets of Uranus and Neptune.
Book it: Kuoni sells a seven-night all-inclusive stay in a Deluxe Cottage from £2,749 per person, based on two sharing. Includes transfers and flights, based on selected departures in November.
