Discover The Top 10 Most Beautiful Islands In the World
The island of Ambergris Caye, a beautiful paradise in Belize, is one of the most exquisite and remarkable in the world.

The crystal clear waters, the barrier reef that starts a few hundred meters from the island's beaches, water sports, 500 species of birds, and the Mayan ruins of Altun Ha and Xunantunich are the area's tourist attractions.
Providenciales, one of 28 atolls in the western Turks and Caicos Islands, located southeast of the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean in the Caribbean, is another exotic destination you will want to consider for your vacation.
Beautiful Provo, as it's also known, offers many attractive activities: diving, sailing, fishing, golf, horseback riding, and boardwalks. Northwest Point Marine National Park is also located here, offering protection to the wonderful areas of coral reefs and salt lakes, marine life, and many species of birds.
Bora Bora in the Society Archipelago, formed by volcanic eruptions, has earned its place on the podium thanks to its beautiful turquoise lagoons, white sand, and sunset colors; it is also known as the "Pearl of the Pacific" or the island "Created by the Gods".
We can have unforgettable experiences swimming with tropical fish in the Coral Gardens Aquatic Nature Reserve or admiring the enchanting views of Mount Otemanu.
Marco Island, on the other hand, is the ideal destination for those who don't have enough time to get to remote places. The jewel of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, Marco Island is known for its fine, white-sand beaches overlooking the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico
Stopping off in Europe to visit Lewis and Harris Island in the Outer Hebrides archipelago, we'll be able to relive the adventures hidden within the pages of a Scottish fairytale.
In the northern part of the island, called Lewis, you can admire the legendary megaliths of Callanish, impressive constructions made 5,000 years ago, rising from the ground like an imposing stone city, which researchers say belong to a technologically advanced ancient civilization. But the south (Harris) also boasts beaches with some of the oldest rocks in the world.
Staying on the Old Continent, the island of Naxos, Greece, is another perfect destination for your holiday. A patch of white against the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, it's a blend of ancient ruins and modern beach life.
Legend has it that Naxos, the largest and most fertile island of the Cyclades, was the childhood home of Zeus, the king of the gods.
Sailing through the splendid waters of the Pacific Ocean you then reach the Cook Islands, a Polynesian archipelago of 15 small atolls. Among them is the island of Aitutaki.
This small island, surrounded by a reef about a kilometer wide, is famous for its stunning turquoise lagoon; despite its incredible beauty, it has yet to be taken by storm by tourists because it's difficult to get here.
Nosy Be (Big Island) is located on the northwest coast of Madagascar and is uninhabited, full of palm trees, and rich in splendid lagoons. In this vast, pristine atoll you'll find volcanic lakes, lazy lemurs, rum distilleries, ylang-ylang plantations, and beautiful coral reefs.
The legendary Easter Island, located in the South Pacific, 3,510 kilometers off the Chilean coast, is a wonder to be explored.
The location of this beautiful place, quite far from the coast and one of the most remote inhabited islands, has allowed the preservation of the mysterious stone statues called moai, millennia-old sculptures in volcanic rock (95% of them), for which Easter Island is famous and which are the island's main attraction.
After exploring the incredible scenery, relaxing on the beaches of the most mysterious places on the planet will be an absolutely enchanting experience.
Finally, the island of Koh Tao, queen of Thailand's Gulf, takes its name from the many turtles that populate the beaches. The 300 days of sunshine a year are an ideal attraction for long relaxing afternoons.
But it's not just that, there are also white sandy beaches protected by steep hills, some accessible only by jeep. This will ensure an unforgettable stay for all curious, adventure-seeking tourists.
We hope you enjoyed exploring our top ten list. These are some of the most beautiful islands in the world, and they defiantly are worth exploring!
