Important place to go on an island (8)

I believe the answer is:

majorcan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an island' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'important place to go on' is the wordplay.
'important' becomes 'major' (major can mean of great importance).
'place to go' becomes 'can' (place to go to the toilet).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'major'+'can'='MAJORCAN'

Can you help me to learn more?
