An island of Chile in the southern Pacific Ocean, Easter island lies about 3,600 km (2,237 miles) west of the mainland. So it's quite isolated!
The island is, at its widest only 12km (7miles) and at its longest 24km (15miles). Quite small too.
Easter Island IS one of the worlds most isolated inhabited islands.
To your actual question, my best guess would be MAYBE.
This indecison and lack of knowledge I lay entirely at the feet of internet research.
For instance, those distances for Easter Island are from Wikipedia, but at the same time Wikipedia states:
Hawaii is situated 3,700 km (2,300 miles) from the mainland.
Given those stats Hawaii is the largest (by far) and the most distant from mainland!!
But Wikipedia goes on to state:
Except for Easter Island, Hawaii is farther away from land than any other landmass on Earth.
