9 remote islands to go on holiday
Ecco 9 uninhabited islands – from New Guinea to the Sea of Japan – on which to shipwreck in contact with wild and uncontaminated nature.
1. Aldabra Island
Considered the paradise of giant turtles (there are at least 100,000 specimens), this atoll approximately 35 kilometers long is located in a remote corner of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and was declared a “world heritage site” by UNESCO in 1982.
2. Clipperton Island
Clipperton Island is located in the Pacific Ocean, 1,280 km west of Mexico. This micro atoll also called “Passion Island” has almost non-existent vegetation while it is possible to see various species of animals including crabs and birds. Although formally not a true Overseas Territory, it is the smallest territory on the borders of the Pacific in possession of France.
3. Jaco Island
Considered a sacred place by the people of East Timor (already one of the least visited countries in the world) who prohibited access, the island of Jaco in the archipelago of the Lesser Sunda Islands is located south-east of Indonesia. In addition to its natural beauty, with white sand beaches, Jaco is the habitat of endemic bird species.
4. Ang Thong Islands
In southern Thailand, a short distance from the well-known and crowded Koh Samui, there are 42 lush, uninhabited and uncontaminated islands that form the Ang Thong Marine Park, which in the Thai language means Golden Basin. The archipelago covers an area of over 250 square km where you can go on daily excursions.

6. Palmyra
Located halfway between Hawaii and American Samoa, Palmyra is an uninhabited island of 12 square km of dependent surface area of the United States, composed of a wonderful coral reef, two not too deep lagoons, and about 50 atolls and sandbars and coral rock immersed in vegetation made of coconut trees.
7. Okunoshima

8. Tebetare Island
Uninhabited since the mid-19th century, Tetepare, part of the Solomon Islands east of Papua New Guinea, is the largest deserted island in the South Pacific Ocean: approximately 118 square kilometers remained in the same original state as when it was abandoned by its inhabitants more than 200 years ago, with a wonderful barrier like an earthly paradise.
9. Corn Islands
An ideal place for diving and underwater exploration: Corn Island is the classic tropical island immersed in the Caribbean Sea where you can relax on white beaches immersed in lush nature.
