These are the best tropical islands for remote work

Popular Caribbean destinations like Curacao, Aruba, and Jamaica are known for their gorgeous beaches, but they're also tropical islands that offer some of the best value for money for American digital nomads looking for a place to work and play.

That's according to Zenefits, a human resources software company, which ranked 50 tropical islands against seven factors: population, average temperature, WiFi speed, cost of accommodation, average daily budget, ease of travel to the island from the US and things to do . and look.

The Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao tops the top 10 list, with comfortable average temperatures and WiFi speeds that top the US average. Outside of work, there are pristine beaches tucked into coves and a national park where travelers come to watch turtles lay their eggs. Thailand's Koh Phangan is another ideal location for remote work if cost is an issue. The average budget traveler spends just $17 per day, excluding lodging.

The ranking reflects a growing telecommuting trend in the US. As working from home remains the norm, and companies offer more flexible arrangements, American workers are looking to go abroad for a change of scenery. In response, countries have also adopted various measures to lure these leisure travelers, with Indonesia considering a special visa for remote workers and Thailand unveiling tax incentives for long-term visa holders.
