There's no better place to escape on vacation than an island, especially white sand beaches lined with palm trees. Even better than an island is one that no one else knows about, where you can explore lush jungles, deserted coves and breathtaking landscapes without seeing (or hearing) a soul.
With almost a million islands in the world, it's no surprise that there are a few hidden places just waiting to be discovered. And we have the best, right here. From the volcanic archipelagos of Portugal to the mountainous islands of the Indian Ocean, here are the best hidden spots for total relaxation.
