  Nobody's mentioned Samoa (that is, the former Western Samoa, I'm not sure about American Samoa), which has some stunners. Pity that Margaret Mead wrote such garbage about the place. But as a Google search will show, former Miss Samoa Maryjane McKibbin-Schwenke, who played the man-devouring heroine of the movie SIONE'S WEDDING - dealing with Samoan expatriates in New Zealand - is very easy on the eye. (Sorry, guys, she's married.)
