Ever since Daniel Dafoe wrote Robinson Crusoe, adventurous souls – or just those fed up with Zoom calls – have dreamt of escaping to a tropical island.
In this fantasy, palm trees flutter over turquoise waters, the sun always shines and you can walk bare-footed around the sandy bays in less than twenty minutes. Oh – and solitude. That’s very important. In 2023, when even the smallest islands are pocked with AirBnb listings, it can feel like a dream lost to another century. But before you give up, consider the award-winning – and frankly, mind-blowing – Thanda Island.
