Quora: Which are the must-visit islands of the world?

This Islands are my favorite destination. 
 
Julien Vaché, Travel is my life

Somehow they always give you a special feeling of "presence", a sense that they are are a world of their own, our anxious human nature feels somehow quieter when the hugeness of the cosmos is reduced to clearly palpable physical boundaries.

My ultimate dream is to have visited all beautiful islands of the world but there are literally millions of them, so even being quite editorial I still love hundreds of islands, I have tried here to select large, small and tiny islands from all areas of the globe and combine famous with mostly unknown.

Here is the Google Map of each island, I strongly encourage you to zoom in on the Satellite photos of each island: http://g.co/maps/xu56e
