Last year I went to visit a friend who has spent the last 2 years living on a Pacific island. I had the feeling that there was not a lot of programming opportunities on this said island but there was a market for IT generalists. There was a case of a person from Switzerland who moved to the island and purchased a shipping container and turned that into his office and workshop. Like most places there will always be need for IT support(business and home), so that was his core income. I believe he also did work on websites for businesses, resorts and small programming tasks on existing in-house applications. While remote work is certainly a possibility, you must be weary of the internet links that these islands have, some are very very slow and not very cheap.
