Romantic island locations like these have a built in granted peace to enjoy freedom and love. Too far away for rich ones, apparently too difficult for authorities to molest you and bother your peace or take your freedom. At places so far from cities - people have chosen a beautiful life among peaceful, hard working and loving neighbors but far away from locations suitable for the money society to push them away into slums.
While such island habitants might appear far from "civilization" - they surely always are near to God - a proximity that no money can buy and a luxury most rich ones in cities have lost centuries ago.
To enjoy the most valuable in life - love - you need to have peace and freedom.
