When I think of summer, I think of vocation 🙂 and when I start dreaming of vocation I see beautiful sunny islands, with golden beaches, tanned bodies, warm ocean water and a cocktail with mint. This sounds so delicious! Being inspired with these dreams I decided to make a photostream of the most beautiful islands I could found. I didn’t use any comparison lists to choose the best of them, I have just found about 35 or so islands loved by tourists, reviewed about 10 photos of each of them and have chosen those those that reminded me of the island in my dreams.
So if you’ve been on some other island that should be added to this list and have some “hot” photos let me know, and I’ll add it to our collection. So here we go!

[…] Re: Hilo oficial movidas MendaLerenda (antes pastores extremos XD) Un poco de envidia para todos… 15 Most Beautiful Islands and Beaches: Photostream […]
Hi there…Nice pics…In Malaysia, there’s nice beaches too.. I had been to Pulau Sapi and Pulau Manukan at Sabah, Kota Kinabalu & not forgetting Pulau Redang in Terengganu….Is really beautiful….Hopefully I can send U my holidays pics of these amazing islands…
Absolutely, Im from Australiaand I have been to Langkawi Island, It’s pretty amazing with the beautiful beach and the hot weather, people there are incredibly nice. I never forget that moments. Thank you Malaysia. 😉
You seriously have a big void in this page , its called Andaman and nicobar islands , luckly i was born over there . Situated on the bay of bengal Sea (India) , A chain of 512 Islands ,called Vitamin Sea . Mostly known for Untouched and gorgeous beaches . Tourist Keep your distance , we would like to preserve atleast one of the heavens on the earth .
[…] credit foto + alte peisaje de invidiat […]
Adjectives, in the case of these photographs would be just redundant, as well as, injustice to the magnitude these landmarks reflect. So, I will take a different approach. First, I am a small town country girl who was baffled by the places seen that I had never heard of before. For example; Baros MaldivesLa Dique Island, Anse Source D’Argent beach, Seychelles to slap out a list. The ladder had the most uniquic rock formations, I could imagine the waves chiseling the forms. Zanzibar was another global site of wonder that I had never heard of and would have bet(if I was a betting lady) that was snow on the mountains. On the flip side, there were photographs that I just thought the camara work was machine and nature creating a canvas togeither. Those photos, well I will let the reader have fun and guess…one in the Hawaiis, one in Australia, and two in Tasmania. The lil huts in Bora Bora, Polynesia were whispering to me to come nustle in them with my love. And last, Smuggler’s Cove, British Virgin Island just felt like a second home. I do hope others enjoy this photo adventure as I have. ciao
nice poetic replies, truly worth these out of the world pictures
Hmmmm, am from mauritius and actually that one beach from mauritius is not a beautiful one, there are others far more beautiful 😉
yes i totally agree with you, there are better beaches!
I can’t believe you have missed out Aitutaki! It’s part of the group of islands that make up the Cook Islands, and it is simply ne of the most beautiful places on earth.
Google it and become a believer,
visit it and hunger to return forever.
the boracay of the philippines should be there! it’s the pearl of the pacific!
Hrvatski otoci – Croatian Islands
Wow awesome pictures… Mayby some day I could also go there… :/
beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul!thank u!
There are so many beautiful islands. But in my (perhaps subjective) opinion: I think Bora Bora ranks first. The pictures of that island are so amazing. It’s really paradise. I hope that I have the chance to go there at least once in my life time. Bora Bora then closely followed by amazing Tahiti, Maui and Seychelles. They are also amazing. Tobago, Mauritius and Puerto Rico are also great.
What interest me especially in this kind of islands is the combination of sand beaches, blue lagoons, coral reefs and rainforest. And the facts that you are almost alone there. You feel completely free.
It has everything that at the northern hemisphere you don’t have. Although in the European continent there are also still very beautiful places with forests and mountains, this is something completely different. That is what I like to experience.
This planet is so beautiful. there is yet so much to discover !
Gtz from the Netherlands
where is Boracay here??it is one of the Philippines nicest beach…
very nice places, visit indonesia.. you will get more beautifull place like beach, waterfall, island, forest, mount of grave and others..
Don’t you forget the beaches and island in Indonesia , the biggest archipelagos country in this planet? Indonesia has so many beautifull beaches and island… find in google about sanur beach, Kuta beach, senggigi beach, raja ampat and so many…I think the most beautifull island and beach in Indonesia
all is beautiful…..
i like it,someday am try to visited that’s place.minimum 1place,i get it….
Aruba is NOT one of the most beautiful islands in the world….
Man I cannot believe how you missed Sri Lanka!! Last year i was in Nilaweli, Sri Lanka and it became one of my top 5!! Just google “Nilaweli, Sri Lanka” or any other places from Sri Lanka, you will see what i mean

You forgot Indonesia. Indonesia is a wonderful paradise with thousand of beautiful island and beaches! You should check Bali Island, Lombok Island, Bunaken Marine Park in Maluku, Biliton Island, Raja ampat in Papua, Pangandaran Beach, Parangtritis Beach, Komodo Island and many more.
well, you are right, the biggest archipelago in the world and has so many beautofu islands and beaches. just like sabang, bengkulu, lampung, anyer, banyuwangi, bali, derawan, bunaken, lombok, komodo, flores, maluku, bangka and belitong, papua, north maluku and so many more.
Unbelievable Pic.
Lovely photos and places, but Corsica and Santorini should top that list.
Should include Madeira Island, Portugal.
Good Work…
The pearl of the pacific is French Polynesia.
The pearl of the Indian ocean is the Seychelles .
Where’s Bali Island?
Cocos island in costa rica is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Uninhibited and only accicible by 36 hour boat ride. The island has the largest population of hammerhead sharks surrounding it (legend is there’s treasure on the island too)
By far the most beautiful Island in the world is Belle Island, in Detroit.. The views are fantastic! You don’t need an expensive ticket to get there either. Sorry, no hotels, but there are some decent motels within walking distance in the D. Food? OMG, try a coney Island. Entertainment? Well, sit tight and it comes to you…
cool….. GOD IS GREAT…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow……………………… it’s fantastic…. Seychelles is wonderful island in this world. It make me wanna go there to spend my summer holiday. One day,,,, i hope i can visit it as soon as possible.
