There are hoods designed to hang overhead, and ones that raise and lower when you need it (downdraft). Depending on your budget and your island, do some window shopping at a couple of showrooms so you can see what is available.

My absolute first choice for island range hood/fans is the downdraft style. These do not interfer with lighting, are not obtrusive visually the way conventional ceiling mount hoods are, can fit into shallow islands, and retract flat when not in use.
