Vanuatu, Mike, is Paradise. (Denmark's OK too!)
They had a Survivor series there a few seasons back: "Vanuatu: Islands of
Fire". It has the distinction for being the most boring Survivor ever, with
the 'winner' being simply 'not the loser' in the end. As Judy says, "it's
paradise", so much so, that the winner, Chris Daugherty is arguing [in
court] that he was 'cured' of depression and stress sickness by lying to
his employer (and collecting his salary) so he could go 'away' and compete
for the prize. Personally, it didn't look all that paradisical when I
watched it each week. A lot of the other locales have appeared a lot nicer.
Still with only a couple of hundred thousand folks in 850,000 km^2, it
makes for nice, solitary living if you find a jungle of your own to stay.

p.s. Yes, I'm a Survivor junkie. It's one of my 13 guilty pleasures.
