Garden Island

English to Indonesian Art/Literary Geography popular name
Garden Island is not the real name of, but a nickname for a few islands around the world, because the island has lush vegetation, and lots of flowers. Such islands are Kauai in Hawaii, Huahine Island in Tahiti, Taveuni Island in Fiji, Jersey among the Channel Islands. I have two questions:
1. How would you translate this island nickname into Indonesian?
2. Is there any island in Indonesia that has the nickname (in Indonesian of course) Garden Island?

Thank you.

Pulau Dewata

there are thousands of islands that has lush vegetation and lots of flowers, since Indonesia is an archipelago of around 13.600 islands.

the most famous would be Bali, the Island of the Gods (Pulau Dewata).

so in reply to your questions: Bali is THE Garden Island (= Pulau Dewata)
