For many of us, an island escape would be the perfect holiday. The peace, quiet and secluded beauty is an irresistible combination and one that draws people in year after year. Whilst some islands have remained popular for years, others have completely flown under the radar. Here are 5 stunning islands you’ve never heard of.
VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO
, Situated in the northeastern Caribbean island-muncipality of Puerto Rico, Vieques is 21 by 4 miles of paradise. Its beaches are considered among the very best in the Caribbean, yet with other attractions including a 19th century fort and a giant 300 year old ceiba tree, there’s plenty to do and see.

UTILA, HONDURAS
, Famed for its dive schools (there are over 12), Utila is an intriguing destination. Its thriving sea life is a big attraction, with exotic fish including sharks being a big attraction to budding divers.

STANIEL CAY, BAHAMAS
Part of the Exuma Cays, a string of Bahamian islands, Staniel Cay is utterly charming. Boasting an esteemed yacht club – perfect if you want to explore the waters – Staniel Cay is an ideal base, although with its famed swimming pigs and remote villages, you won’t want to leave.

GAVDOS, GREECE
Gavdos is fairly remote, and with only around 50 people living there year round, very small. It’s the southernmost point of Europe, which is an exciting draw although people tend to frequent the island of Crete, which is nearby yet far more populous.

FERNANDO DE NORONHA, BRAZIL
Although not one single island, the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha is so small it might as well be. Made up of 21 mini islands in total, it’s as exclusive as it is remote, and its beaches are some of the finest around.
