HOW WE CLASSIFY

No universal island score.

IslandQube does not compress an island into a single rating. We organise useful context—archipelago, water, airport or ferry access, season and settlement pattern—then connect it to property records.

Atlas scope

The current atlas connects 61 island destinations to 7,919 image-verified property records, with no invented review scores or availability claims.
