Remote Destinations That Make You Feel Like the Last Person on Earth

3. Pitcairn Island, Pacific Ocean – The World’s Most Isolated Inhabited Island

Home to just fewer than 50 people, Pitcairn Island is one of the most remote inhabited places in the world, lying over 3,000 miles from the nearest major landmass. This tiny volcanic island in the South Pacific is only accessible by a 32-hour boat journey from Tahiti, making it feel utterly cut off from civilization. Settled by the infamous mutineers of the HMS Bounty in 1790, Pitcairn remains untouched by mass tourism, with lush green cliffs, hidden caves, and crystal-clear lagoons. With no airport, no hotels, and no crowds, visitors experience a level of peace and quiet that feels almost prehistoric. If you’ve ever dreamed of being shipwrecked on a deserted island, this is as close as it gets.
