hi, i like your idea a lot

some things that could help are

• changing the skybox, the lost isles sky would be rather nice as it is already for a tropical area and have this cotton candy cloud look of a tropical area at the same time that have a clear sky.
• Objects that fit the theme, other thing that could be useful is using some decorative objects like sholazar plants or the same lost isles objects. One very important thing is finding the right objects, tropical places are different and have different vegetation, so would be ideal that you choose only those that could get closer to the reference (there is no need to use them all at once)
• Color match, the color of the plants is important as should fit, more or less, the color of the grass. Warmer areas have more yellow saturated colors and cooler areas have more of a blueish tint.  The reference picture is going more for the blues in the vegetation than yellow. Palm trees like from uldum have 3 variations yellow, whitered green and bright green. i would use only the bright green ones if am going to keep them as they fit that cooler colors of your reference image.
• the rocks here are nice but in a coastal area moss growth would be hindered by salt water and direct exposition to light so, though they seem to feet in the color degradation, they look a bit off. maybe sholazar_rocka_dark.m2 ? is difficult to find something exactly like you want unless of course you make it.

I know this post is from a while ago but if you are still around i hope could be useful to you.

Thanks for the suggestions.I might still have the map files somwhere and when I'll have some free time I'll give it a try

Cool, i'm glad to know it wasn't too late to answer .
