I hate most people these days it's like they can't see, they are so unbelievably selfish:( We should really form a group of people who can appreciate the natural magnificence of the world and buy a huge  island and have it preserved and untouched by materialism!! Maybe I'm a dreamer but the world is becoming intolerable for me:( This really touched me..

And it's sick what we're doing to the planet. Pave paradise and put up a parking lot, right? I heard Joni Mitchell was moved to tears over what inspired her to write that song.

Great post but I would make some suggestions. # 5 Bohol: I lived 5 years in the Philippines and Bohol is pretty average to me. Its often quoted as the "New Boracay". However there are far more beautiful islands off the beaten path you can have all to yourself. One of my favourites is Flower Island Resort, Shark Bay, Taytay, Palawan. Providencia and San Andres, or Old Providence and St Andrews island as they used to be known, are superb. I visited several times while sailing yachts. There are some little islands just offshore which you can rent cabanas for peanuts, and except for Sundays have almost all to yourself. They are pretty developed though, and are weekend getaway for the rich from Columbia. I think a far better choice would be Little Corn Island, on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. You can read all about secret, undiscovered island in my blog, The Private Islands Blog <a href="http://private-islands.blogspot.com " target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://private-islands.blogspot.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://private-islands.blogspot.com</a></a> Hi Tim, I have lived and travelled to most of these islands.

They now tell us that they "control" 80% of the island...which translates to the only land they do NOT control...is what is privately owned by belongers & ex-pats. Even a petition signed by the belongers got minimal response...please continue to report on this for us all. Thank you!

Both absolutely beautiful, the latter even boasts Roman ruins and golden sand.
