Once the 6.2 patch has been released, you can easily access the quest chain to unlock the Island Sanctuary. Simply head to Old Sharlayan, and look for an NPC called the Clueless Crier (X: 11.9, Y: 11.0). They'll be quite close to the central Aetheryte plaza, and have a blue quest marker above them.
