Egghead Island is a futuristic theme park with odd inventions and gizmos, visually overwhelming yet jaw-dropping.
Sabaody Archipelago features lush greenery, bubbles, and an amusement park, offering a natural aesthetic among colonized islands.
Water 7 stands out with a giant fountain-like structure, peaceful waterways, and Venetian-inspired beauty, ideal for living.
Luffy and the Straw Hats have explored a plethora of fascinating islands over the course of their grand adventure. However, each of these areas varies drastically in terms of their overall aesthetic and style, meaning that while some feel little more than quick pit stops which don’t really stand out all that much, there are others which remain incredibly memorable for how gorgeous and stylized they are from a visual perspective.
It’s always exciting to visit a new island that is full of vibrant colors, unique architecture, and dazzling natural landscapes, and the good news is, there are more than a few islands featured in the One Pieceseries that fit this description. While this doesn’t inherently mean that these islands are great places to actually live in, especially considering the majority of them have been controlled by bloodthirsty tyrants, they still manage to be a real feast for the eyes, with these destinations below being among the most beautiful in all of One Piece.

Egghead Island
Vegapunk’s Personal Base Is As Advanced And Wacky As The Scientist Himself
Egghead Island, the personal base of the infamous scientist known as Vegapunk, is rather odd from a geographical perspective. There are actually many parts to Egghead’s geographical structure, and it can be very easy to get lost, considering how easy it is to get distracted by everything going on. Considering this is an island hosted by Vegapunk, it only makes sense that Egghead would be covered in all kinds of weird and wacky inventions and gizmos, to the point where it essentially looks like one giant futuristic theme park.
With oddly shaped skyscrapers and weird mechanical tubes stretching between the island, alongside the giant cracked egg at the very top, there’s just so much to admire about this wonderful island. It can admittedly seem a little overwhelming at times, considering how much is going on visually, but Egghead Island is still jaw-dropping to look at, especially when the colors are bumped up thanks to the stellar animation of the anime.

Sabaody Archipelago
Lush Greenery And Bubbles Cover The Entire Island
Unfortunately, the Straw Hats don’t get to spend a lot of time venturing through Sabaody before they are all forcibly removed from the island by Kuma. That being said, though, it doesn’t take long for anyone to realize just how breathtaking this island truly is, with it being somewhat of a dream come true for those who love gazing at natural views and landscapes. Much of Sabaody is characterized by long stretches of green pastures and trees, but another notable aspect is the bubbles, which can always be seen floating high in the sky.
There is even a wild amusement park at the center of the island, which helps to provide some color diversity to the overall aesthetic. Considering most islands in One Piece have already been taken over and modified by their colonizers, it’s nice to see one that still has more of a natural aesthetic to help it stand out.

Wano Kuni
Wano Kuni Was A Truly Beautiful Area Before Kaido Arrived
When the Straw Hats finally arrive in Wano country, they quickly realize that the entire island has been turned into one giant munitions factory. The truth is, though, Wano was once considered a lush paradise which was greatly admired for not only its people, but also the island’s beauty, and this can actually be seen through the flashbacks of several important characters, including Oden. Clearly inspired by Japan, the island of Wano is a lot more stripped-back and traditional than many of the other islands, but that’s certainly not a bad thing.
What also helps the island stand out from a visual perspective is the multitude of different regions that make it up. From snowy fields to mile-long peaceful lakes, all the way to bustling towns which are full of rich architecture and traditional ornaments, there is certainly no shortage of things to see and do when visiting the infamous Wano Kuni.

Water 7
One Of The Most Uniquely Built Islands In The Series
It’s pretty amazing just how creative Oda can get when crafting his Islands, and one of the biggest examples of this in practice is Water 7. This island is actually a lot simpler than many of the others seen in the series, but this simplicity is arguably what makes it so stunning. From the outside, visitors will be able to see a giant fountain-like structure where glistening blue water can be seen shooting down into the sides and back into the sea. When actually entering the island, while there are several pathways and bridges to allow visitors to move between the buildings, there are also stretches of water where people can take a peaceful ride on a gondola while admiring the beautiful architecture.
While it’s evident that Oda took a lot of inspiration from Venice when designing Water 7, it also stands on its own as something entirely unique and creative. To put it simply, this would be one of the most ideal places to live in all of One Piece, not only because of how peaceful it usually is, but also since nobody’s going to complain about waking up to the view of peaceful waterfalls and rivers every morning.

Momoiro Island
The Island Of Love Certainly Looks The Part
Fans might remember Momoiro Island as the destination that Sanji was sent to after the crew was separated by Kuma. While Sanji’s training on the island might have been somewhat of a nightmare for the Straw Hats’ cook, the island itself is absolutely dazzling to look at, and since it’s often considered to be the island of love, it only makes sense that it would be this bright, flashy, and heartwarming.
From the outside, the island takes the shape of a giant heart where a rainbow can always be seen covering the outline, but it’s really when stepping foot onto the land itself that its true beauty becomes apparent. With pink petals falling from the sky and lush, exotic bushes and trees as far as they can see, this island is a real looker, despite only being shown a handful of times throughout the series.

Whole Cake Island
A Fun, Vibrant, And Cheerful Island Full Of Candy And Sweets
Despite being ruled over by one of the most vicious pirates to have ever lived, Whole Cake Island gives off a very joyful and upbeat vibe thanks to its vibrant design. While the island itself is bursting full of color, what really makes it so eye-catching is the Homies who occupy it, referring to the animated objects and buildings that have come to life after being infused with a soul. As a result, when walking through Whole Cake Island, it’s very common to hear the flowers singing a blissful tune or the trees humming an infectious melody.
Of course, as the name of the island suggests, it’s also covered with foods of all different kinds, including a giant cake tower which stands at the center of Big Mom’s own personal territory. Fans of One Piece will know that this island contains some very dark secrets, but it would be hard to guess this considering how fun, vibrant, and spectacular it can look at first glance.

Dressrosa
At Least Doflamingo Made Sure Not To Ruin Dressrosa’s Beauty
Commonly known as the island of Passion, it’s hard not to get distracted by the beauty of Dressrosa when exploring the island. Sure, it may have been turned into Doflamingo’s own sick and twisted paradise, but even he ensured to keep the underlying beauty of Dressrosa intact when he took it over with his makeshift family. The sun-drenched country is packed full of multicolored buildings and even a giant Coliseum, and in the distance, there is also a massive mountain which provides a nice change of scenery for anyone who wants to take a break from the busy streets.
Dressrosa feels like a big and exciting holiday destination that many people would be eager to travel to in their time off, as long as Doflamingo is nowhere to be seen, that is. It’s very common to hear fans criticize the Dressrosa arc for being a tad too long, so it’s a good thing that it is one of the most visually appealing islands in the series, as that was a big reason why fans continued to stick with it for so long.

Fishman Island
Oda Got Extra Creative When Creating The Home Of The Fishmen And Mermaids
While most islands in One Piece are clearly inspired by real-life locations, Oda needed to get extra creative when conjuring up the home of the Fishmen, resulting in one of the most beautiful locales in all of anime. What immediately stands out about Fishman Island is the cocktail of colors that are used to decorate the area, which all provide a delicate contrast to the clear blue ocean, which can be seen throughout much of the island.
There are also some frankly jaw-dropping buildings that are scattered around the island, a major example being the Ryugu Palace, which is covered in all sorts of fun decorations and ornaments, including a giant green and yellow dragon stretching from the top. Being able to explore an island that hasn’t been created or modified by humans is certainly a unique experience, but it also just goes to show how stylish the Fishmen and mermaids truly are, as Fishman Island is truly breathtaking in its presentation and aesthetic.
