Indonesian island Java tops the list of the best islands to visit in 2018

Fancy taking a trip a little further out than your standard visit to Paris?

If youre considering an island holiday, you might as well make sure it happens at one of the best islands in the world. Go big or go home, right?

Thankfully Travel + Leisure has just released their annual ranking of the best islands to visit in 2018, so you dont have to do too much of your own research to find a dreamy vacation location.

Topping the list this year is Java, an Indonesia island filled with waterfalls, volcanoes, protected parks, and stunning white sand beaches.

Its the first time Java has even appeared in the top 10, and the first island in three years to knock Palawan Island off the top spot.

If youre pondering a visit, wed recommend planning to spend at least a week on the island – theres so much to do.

Head to the Borobudur Temple, climb Mount Ijen, and visit every dreamy beach you can fit in. Its worth visiting the Rainbow Village while youre there – a village made up of buildings painted in rainbow brights – if only for an excellent pic for the Gram.

If Java doesnt sound like your thing (we question why not, but hey), dont worry, as weve rounded up Travel + Leisures top ten ranking of the best islands in the world below.
