Top 5 Uninhabited Islands of the World

Bangalore: Though the theme of being stranded on an uninhabited island has influenced many a movie and novel, the islands inspiring these movies and novels no longer seem to be deserted. However, for those thinking of getting away from it all, we give you a simple list of the planet's most exquisite and pristine isles.

Maldives Islands



The Indian Ocean nation-Maldives Islands blurs the lines between land and water. The average height above sea level in the Maldives is only 5 feet (1.5 meters) with the highest point rising a mere 7 feet 7 inches (2.3 meters). This popular hotspot for those seeking an uninterrupted holiday consists of a double-chain of 26 coral atolls and takes in around 1,190 individual islands. While the nation has abundant tropical beauty and a remarkable temperate climate, it puts the nation of 400,000 squarely in the cross-hairs of Global Warming. The coral atolls are in most cases divided into 5 to 10 inhabited islands and from 20 to 60 uninhabited ones. Only 200 islands are inhabited by local Maldivian people while only 5 islands have a population of more than 3,000.

The swarming capital island of Male is home to 26 percent of the Maldivians. Maldives has so many small desolated islands that every resort island has its own 'Desert Island' and proposes its own Desert Island trip. These islands are the perfect destination for anyone willing to live- temporarily-like Robinson Crusoe.
