There are many countries in the world that receive little tourism due to various reasons such as geographical location, economy, accessibility, political instability, infrastructure development, low population etc. If the ultimate luxury for you is to enjoy the magnificence of secluded tourist-free islands with no traveler on sight, here are your best options.
Solomon Islands. The Melanesian archipelago is a source of adventure for the reckless, or people who are used to traveling alone. Few tourist infrastructures, few telecommunications, located on volcanoes, targets of cyclones and tsunamis... But also magnificent beaches, virginal forest, and untouched diving spots. It's ideal if you want to go into immersion, as an adventurer.
Samoa. Located in the middle of the Pacific, split between Western and American Samoa, this group of Polynesian islands has a end-of-the-world sent which explains the lack of attraction for its cultural and natural riches, however numerous.
Tuvalu. Small islet drops in the middle of the Pacific, between Hawaii and Australia, Tuvalu struggles to attract visitors despite its splendid beaches and pristine coral reefs. You can count hotels and restaurants on the fingers of one hand but lanscapes are worth it.
Marshall Islands. The Micronesian Republic does not accommodate many tourists: barely a handful of hotels, a single paved road on Majuro... it's a dream for the discoverer of hidden treasures!
Comoros. The Comoros are an archipelago located in the Indian Ocean, off the east coast of Africa, very close to the very popular Madagascar, Reunion or South Africa. Although it has plenty of tourist attractions such as white sand beaches and a unique culture, the Comoros remains in the shadow of its bulky neighbors.
Kiribati. Kiribati is an island country in the central Pacific made up of 33 islands only 3 meters above the sea level. It is located at a great distance from any other country and also faces challenges such as climate change, rising waters and environmental degradation. It is home to the oldest atoll in the world, huge lagoons, and numerous diving and snorkeling spots.
Note that tourism can evolve rapidly, and that these destinations can see their tourist popularity change over time depending on various factors. Before traveling to these less touristy countries, it is always recommended to thoroughly research current conditions, state of health facilities and safety guidelines.
