Best Islands In The World

There are so many islands out there in the world. Which ones are the best islands in the world. Today I am going to have a look at some of the best islands I can think of.

First up on my best island journey. Hawaii. I think it's a fairly safe bet that everyone has heard of this one. Beautiful volcanic islands situated in the pacific ocean. With amazing surf, diving, beaches, unique culture. What is there not to like here. Perhaps having to leave this wonderful island paradise. I love the stunning background of super steep hills running down to the coast. Amazing beauty. As a popular tourist destination accommodation for all budget ranges can easily be found.

Maldives

My second stop on my best island tour is the Maldives. Smack bang in the middle of the Indian ocean. More islands than you can shake a stick at. Just under 1,200 coral islands with only 200 inhabited. Ever wanted to be marooned on your own personal desert island. Here is your chance. The lowest nation on earth. So you know it's going to be easy to get to the beach. Great diving opportunities await. With stunning beaches, friendly locals, great weather. Another great island to visit.

Anguilla 

Next on the best island tour. Anguilla . Technically a British overseas territory. Anguilla consists of the main island itself plus twenty small islands/cays with no permanent residents, though there is a restaurant/bar on one. Lying east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and north of Saint Martin it is one of the most northerly islands in the Leeward chain in the Lesser Antilles. Part of Anguilla's charm is its remoteness, which means more time spent traveling. The island lacks an international airport. It is worth it though, as you don't get bombarded with the obtrusive noises of big planes disturbing your island bliss. Combine with that stunningly beautiful beaches and a relaxed atmosphere and you have one of the best islands in the Caribbean, if not the world.

Ishigaki island. I'm guessing many of you won't have heard of this island. The fact that my spell checker doesn't recognize it. Gives more evidence that this is not a well known island. Located in Okinawa chain of islands. A two hour flight south of Tokyo. Sitting just above the tropic of cancer. You know this island is going to have great weather, and it does. The beaches here are stunning. Beautiful sunny golden sand met by turquoise waters. It is a beach paradise. The diving here is world class and a great place to see some manta-rays. With a unique culture, delicious foods and a special high powered brand of alcohol, Amori. You can be pretty sure of a good island trip here. Definitely worthy of a place in my best island tour.

Hopefully you found out about some amazing islands you hadn't heard of before. If you would like to find out more. Please join me on my continuing journey around the world's best island.
