The 10 Best Islands To Live On

July 25, 2008 by randomguru

Although it isn’t possible for most folks to buy their very own island like actor Johnny Depp’s $3.6 million tropical paradise in The Bahamas… I’m sure many of us can travel to any number of island destinations around the world.

My wife and I have been thinking about possibly retiring to an island like Kauai, or to Palawan in the Philippines. Or maybe just staying on an island for a month, renting a place by the beach. As long as there was Internet access and a place to play music, I think it would be awesome to live on an island for a while.

The online edition of Islands Magazine lists The 10 Best Islands To Live On:

1. St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

2. Ambergris Caye, Belize

3. Culebra, Puerto Rico

4. Bequia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines

5. Eleuthera, Bahamas

6. Kauai, Hawaii

7. Gozo, Malta

8. Vanua Levu, Fiji

9. Orcas Island, Washington

10. Palawan, Philippines

Hmm… island living? It’s a big step, but a worthy possibility to further research and explore… Have you ever thought about living on an island?

Wow. I have to check out Palawan now. I’m surprised Mykonos is not on the Top 10 list. Too touristy maybe?

I lived on the Big Island of Hawai’i for half a year in ‘97. It was the most personally enriching time of my life BK (Before Kids). I felt such a connection to the earth and to nature. It was a laid-back lifestyle that shifted my priorities significantly from career and consumerism to nature, culture, community, and a more inward focus.
I highly recommend it!

I’ve been to Bangharam Island (part of the Lakshadweep Islands), off the coast of India in the Arabian Sea. I want to live there! It’s very small, peaceful, and beautiful.

Lots of love to you,

I don’t even know what its like to live on an island, although I’ve always lived by the seashore. I can’t ever imagine living in the midwest where there is no Ocean.
