Best Answer

You would say "on an island". The phrase with "in" would apply to something in its geologic interior.

Conversely, for the plural it could be either. The phrase "on the islands" refers to things that occur on all islands, or somewhere on a group of islands. Or it can be "in the islands" if referring to something that occurs uniquely, or in a non-specific location.
