Top 10 Unusual Islands
Each island is unique in its own way and ratings can’t really apply. The islands listed were chosen in part for their obscurity.
Bouvet Island
It is almost completely covered with ice. Bouvet’s claim to fame is that it is the most remote island in the world.
North Sentinel Island
it is populated by one of the few remag “uncontacted peoples” in the world. The Sentinelese are highly xenophobic with frequently firing arrows at boats and helicopters that come too close to the island
Pitcairn Island
Pitcairn Island, with only fifty or so inhabitants, is the least populous and most remote jurisdiction in the world
Palmyra Atoll
Palmyra is actually a collection of small islets, located roughly halfway between Hawaii and Samoa. The largest, Cooper Island, is privately owned and administered by The Nature Conservancy.

You shared a good list. Here’s my choice for unusual Islands Necker Private Island, Samosir (a huge Island within a huge Island) Virgin Island and San Juan Island. Having beautiful and colorful scenery, you would love to see it.
Shenandoah bed and breakfast can provide you with excellent Romantic bed and breakfasts and Honeymoon bed breakfast, where you can enjoy your meal with luxury.
