Islands that I find interesting are mostly tropical, Mediterranean, and Caribbean - those with beautiful beaches, lush jungles, rich culture (island culture as well as colonial culture, if there is any), and plentiful of sunshine.

My picks:
- Zanzibar
- Sri Lanka
- Indonesian and Philippine islands
- Canary Islands
- Azores
- Madeira
- Malta
- Cyprus
- Corsica
- Crete
- Santorini
- Rhodes
- Cuba
- French Polyneisan islands
- New Zealand
- Hokkaido
- Okinawa
- Penang
- Easter Island
- Galapagos
- Madagascar
- Seychelles
- Mauritius
- Maldives
- Puerto Rico
- Similan Islands
- Ko Lipe
- Perhentian Islands
- Sipadan
- etc etc

(they all make it to the top 10 - i have no idea which one to omit from the list! )

^ Yeah it's so hard to pick just 10, lol. Like how do you compare say Manhattan and Madagascar, they're fascinating for different reasons.
