I personally don’t know a person who has never dreamed of visiting at least one exotic island somewhere warm and sunny. And that is pretty natural – many people consider islands as perfect destinations to relax and run away from work and all the problems because you literally get surrounded by water and there is no easy escape from there too.
However, today let’s get acquainted with five amazing islands many tourists’ agencies recommend to start from if you are a newbie in traveling. And even if you are a traveler who has seen a lot of countries, you just have to stop by at these following beauties, because if not – you probably haven’t’ seen the best the Earth can offer us!

This tiny country and island in the middle of Pacific Ocean will provide you with the best exotic experience there is. Incredible beaches, white sand, secluded peacefulness and tons of activities you can enjoy definitely define Palau. The world knows Palau as the country with amazing nature’s phenomena – the Jellyfish Lake. Here you get swim nearby millions of harmless jellyfish and enjoy their amazing dancing. In fact, this nature’s miracle can’t be found in any other place in the world, so you just have to fly to Palau at least to experience this.

The Cook Islands is a place worth visiting as well. Its 15 different sized islands are considered having one of the best beaches in the South Pacific region.

Bora Bora is an ultimate island destination because it is so perfectly suitable for tourism.

David and I once lived on a small island in the Pacific Ocean – literally in the middle of nowhere. Before that we lived on Hong Kong Island. Those experiences have given us a life-long fascination with islands. We visit as many as we can and it is always a great adventure.
Ruth says
Wow! That was quite an adventure. What was the reason for living there? I think once you live on an island, you are always called by them.

Wow, straight away tow Australian destination in this list: Tasmania and Cook Islands (an Australian protectorate). I personally would include some of the smaller islands of the Philippines and Caye Caulker in Belize.
Ruth says
I have been to Ambergris Caye but not to Caye Caulker. I will have to visit on another occasion.

I came to check out the competition Ruth…lol. There are beautiful islands all over the world not just in Greece. These places look exquisite, especially Tasmania. Now the one with the jellyfish, are you sure they are harmless, because I have been stung a few times and it was not pretty. I host a weekly party and would love to have you link up, we welcome sponsored posts like this one.
