Are there really still remote travel destinations? Koh Lipe was once an insider tip in Thailand and is now alarmingly crowded. The World Wide Web made it possible, unfortunately. As soon as a destination is declared an insider tip, its untouched nature exposes itself to being overrun before long.

How much longer will there really be remote travel destinations? More and more people are traveling, and they thirst for remote regions far from the crowded European beaches. Who wants a vacation spot where you can't get a lounger by 9 a.m.? The stress and struggle of everyday life shouldn't follow you to your vacation spot.

But they do still exist! Remote destinations that hardly anyone has heard of yet.

So Where Is Kiribati?

Kiribati is located in Indonesia and is a South Seas paradise made up of 33 coral atolls. Untouched nature with white sand beaches. Water sports fans get their money's worth here. Divers will find a breathtaking underwater world. The region is one of the largest protected underwater areas in the world.

There are a few hotels, but with so few guests (about 6,000 to 8,000 visitors a year), the traditional huts, Kia Kias, are very popular. Communicating in English is no problem.

Ever heard of Niue? An island about 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) from New Zealand that governs itself. It's located near Tonga. The few tourists (about 7,000 to 8,000 a year) prefer diving and hiking. On site there's a tropical rainforest with spectacular vegetation.

There are few sandy beaches. Niue pushed itself out of the sea after two earthquakes. An impressive landscape with a pleasant climate. Temperatures average 77°F (25°C).

Or How About Montserrat?

Discovered by Columbus in 1493. The island belongs to the Lesser Antilles. And the island only records about 7,000 to 8,000 visitors a year. The capital, Plymouth, is called a modern Pompeii. Hiking is popular here.

How much longer these islands will remain an insider tip is questionable; the situation can change overnight, and they'll no longer be remote travel destinations.

It's worth taking the time to research which destinations are interesting and where tourism doesn't yet play a role. A bit of a spirit of adventure is certainly part of it, and a 5-star hotel isn't front and center.

The restorative value is certainly spectacular if, as a vacationer, you have the courage to vacation in solitude...
