SMOKEON has it, Atoll Hao!
I first came across Hao when I was trying to schedule/route fish carrying DC8's from Easter Island to Japan, needed to fuel stop a couple of times and needed circa 10,000' runways to do so, couldn't believe my luck when I came across an 11,000' runway on a 'coral reef'

SMOKON,
How the hell did you get that?
Yes, Siargao Island is a tropical paradise, I was most recently there during July, alas the 5 ATR-42 flights were full that week thus I had to travel from/to Surigao City by outriggers. I'm moving there for good as soon as I sell my house!

Thank you,Phileas.The location was very much given away by the general architecture of the Terminal building,Palm trees and lush vegetation. The Philippines have three grades of airports, so it was relatively easy to identify as a Principle-Class2.
You are very fortunate to be able to relocate to such an idylic island.

leader3,
It is the RoRo's (rollon, roll off's) that have a habit of sinking, one RoRo does sail to/from that island but6 you won't get me on one!
The outriggers are circa 80 seats, waters are warm, life jackets immediately above pax heads, good fun though, the Captain toots number(s) of hoots on ship horn and a young guy down below, holding a piece of string, controls the throttles with the string.
Smokeon,
Thanks, the town of General Luna, on the island, is nice, the locals are friendly and on the island there is no TV, no radio, no landline telephones and not even an ATM machine ..... and I love it
A much better view of the island rather than the airport:
