A peaceful afternoon on the Island of Vis.
Everyone loves an island getaway. Unfortunately, that's the problem with a beach vacation – you're often forced to share your stretch of sand with countless others in search of a little R&R. If you're looking for a beach vacation minus the crowds, we've rounded up ten islands around the world where you'll find just that – and while you may have to work a little harder and travel a little longer to get there, you'll be rewarded with deserted beaches, fascinating culture, exotic cuisine, and the satisfaction of "discovering" a fabulous, off-the-beaten-path island destination. And if you've heard of every island on our list, pat yourself on the back – you're a well-traveled wanderer whose passport must be worn from use!
