In the new book "The 10 Best of Everything," National Geographic combed the globe's maritime locations, compiling a list of the world's 10 best islands, showing that the shores of the U.K. can hold their own against the likes of Thailand and Polynesia.

Here is National Geographic's list of the 10 best islands. What do you think of the winners? Leave your comments below!
