When we talk about getaways, it should be noted that there’s a world of difference between just going away and actually getting away! The island locations overloaded with shipped-in tourists are far from relaxing, as you don’t have any option but to lie down beach-towel to beach-towel at every possible location. Here we will acquaint you with some of the most remote islands that will provide you with the kind of relaxation that you desperately yearn for; of course minus all the crazy crowd.
Montserrat
Situated between Antigua and Nevis, Montserrat is a lush and tiny island that is far away from the tourist-heavy Caribbean islands such as Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Although the southern Montserrat has been almost cut-off because of an active volcano, the northern half continues to be an excellent getaway for visitors. It offers plenty of activities and a quiet vibe for the tourists to enjoy. The volcano can be viewed from a helicopter and you can even hike through the rainforest (which is full of wildlife). Other than that, you can also engage in different types of water sports and boating excursions; not to forget the option to simply relax on the black sand beach!
Tuvalu
An independent South Pacific nation, Tuvalu is home to some of the remotest islands of the world. Funafuti, its capital houses a conservation area where tourists can relish the best snorkeling and diving experience in the world. Five of its islands are surrounded by amazing coral reefs. Not just that, the place also features some of the most interesting relics from the World War II. As the islands are difficult to reach and not very well developed, the travelers who prefer quiet beaches and beautiful marine life, must definitely make Tuvalu a part of their bucket list. Please note, scientists have predicted that the Tuvalu Islands will disappear completely over the next century owing to climate changes. Hence, don’t delay your trip for too long!
