Published on September 8, 2021

_Note: If you’re looking for our most recent recommendations, check out [the 2023 list of our favorite islands in the world](https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-islands-in-the-world-2023-7551678)._

_This year's World's Best Awards survey was open for voting January 11 through May 10, 2021, as destinations around the world were lifting COVID-19 restrictions. Survey rules have always allowed readers to reflect on their travel experiences over a three-year period. We hope that this year's honorees will inspire your own travels as you get back out into the world._

The best islands in the world, according to T+L readers, are the kind of [Instagram-perfect destinations](https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/island-vacations/must-see-islands-bucket-list) that travelers fantasize about on winter evenings: dreamy, sun-drenched landscapes surrounded by the [bluest waters](https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/nature-travel/bluest-water-destinations). And since there's an island destination for everyone, what constitutes "paradise" likely boils down to specific interests — history, culture, heart-pumping adventure, or something else entirely.

Every year for our [World's Best Awards](https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best) survey, [T+L asks readers](https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/frequently-asked-questions) to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. [Readers rated islands](https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/survey-methodology) according to their activities and sights, natural attractions and beaches, food, friendliness, and overall value.

Looking to spot iguanas lazing about and sea lions playing with snorkelers in the waters off the white beaches? The [Galápagos](https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/adventure-travel/how-to-travel-to-galapagos-islands) (No. 10) is for you. For unrivaled diving, there is Koh Samui in Thailand (No. 7) and the Philippines' Palawan (No. 19). If you're hoping to spend your days indulging in homemade pasta and wine from local vineyards, consider [Sicily](https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/reasons-to-visit-sicily) (No. 6) or Sardinia (No. 16).

Plenty of options abound for those who want to stay closer to home. "Bring a camera, lots of reading material, and walk the fabulous powdery beach," said one reader of Harbour Island (No. 17), a Bahamian paradise renowned for its pink sands. Another favorite: the volcanic island St. Lucia (No. 20). "Anse Chastanet Beach is beautiful with the black sand and small snorkeling area," shared a voter. "You have to pay a fee for usage, but it is worth it."

As in so many years, it was a Greek island that emerged as readers' top choice. Find out why they consider Mílos No. 1 among the best islands in the world.

## 1\. Mílos, Greece

Located in the middle of the Cycladic islands, Mílos rose from its No. 3 spot last year thanks to friendly locals who welcome visitors to explore the quaint villages (Trypiti is famous for its windmills, Plaka for its sunsets), extraordinary tavernas, and dozens of picturesque beaches that vary in color depending on whether they are formed from shells, stones, or sand. Visitors will find many options for lodging. "We stayed at a small B&B right on the water," shared one reader. "Great location." But if you're looking to spoil yourself, consider splurging on Milos Cove, a minimalist 42-room aerie where private pools offer unrivaled views of the Aegean.
