From Antigua and Barbuda to Vanuatu, this random island country generator picks an existing island country anywhere in the world.

An island country consists of thousands of islands (e.g. the Philippines), a single island (Nauru) or a part of an island (Brunei Darussalam). Out of the 195 countries in the world, approximately ¼ are island countries.

UPDATE 2023:

I have created two other island generators. They might suit your needs better than this one:

This random island country generator selects a random island nation from 50 options. You can use it as a random destination picker, an inspiration for travel plans or for any other purpose.

This website, Arimo Travels, is a sustainable travel blog that I started during my 777-day trip around the world. The page Random Generators includes several other random generators that I’ve created. These include both a random country and a random city generator.

If you want, you can share your randomizer results – and possible travel plans – in the comment section below!

I have created several random country generators. Most of them are based on different regions (e.g. Random Country in Europe). Others group countries by their language (e.g. Random Spanish Speaking Country Generator). This is my only randomizer about geographical features.

Generators for random islands or random island names are more in demand, but creating one about random island countries was much easier.
