It became customary when the press informed about the purchase of the island by one of the celebrities. The rich and famous can afford to buy a piece of beach paradise to throw a party with friends away from prying eyes or, conversely, to be in solitude. But there are the most expensive islands available not to every millionaire. And this is not a heart-shaped patch of land for the unfortunate 20 million dollars donated by Angelina Jolie to her beloved spouse, but truly luxurious places worth several hundred million. Their cost depends not only on size. The price is significantly affected by location, distance from settlements, ecology, landscape, local flora and fauna, well-being, including buildings, communications, fresh water source. Some of the most expensive islands on the planet, as indicated on Private Islands Online, are offered for sale right now.
Lisbon
It is amazing how, being almost at the threshold of the Portuguese municipal capital, the territory of 12.140 km² in the Atlantic Ocean and the extended mouth of the Tagus River remains deserted and not found application? Although the investment potential of the object promises rich opportunities for development. At a cost of $ 350 million, this island is the most expensive in the world of those currently for sale, and it is not in private, but in municipal ownership. According to some rumors, the plot will be acquired by several investors with the aim to turn it into a golf course with single residential buildings.
Ran yai
This island with an area of 0.445 km² with two sections of rainforest is located in the heart of the Andaman Sea archipelago in western Thailand. According to the advertisement, its cost of $ 160 million is completely justified. After all, this incredibly picturesque site is one of the many islands in the province of Phuket and is located 15 minutes by speed boat from the central island of the same name, which is also a popular resort with developed infrastructure and an international airport.
In addition to a source of fresh water, its own power generation system, and an affordable mobile signal, the price of one of the most expensive islands includes lush tropical forests, planting coconut trees, a pineapple plantation, snow-white beaches and a spacious colorful lagoon formed by the inner curve of the site. The one-day holiday industry has already been developed and well equipped here. For tourists, this piece of Eden, protected from monsoon winds, is known for excellent fishing, all the conditions for many water sports and its oldest pearl farm. The natural environment of Rang Yai Island has created ideal conditions for growing pearl oysters and producing high-quality pearl.
Cave cay
Located in the heart of the Exuma area of the Caribbean and close to the famous Mushi Kay private complex, Cave Cay belongs not only to the most expensive islands that are for sale today, but also to the most beautiful and well-equipped for relaxation. This detached piece of paradise in the Bahamas, worth $ 110 million, is completely self-sufficient with a source of drinking water and independent power from diesel generators, given that solar energy is available year-round. In addition to the residential and guest complex, a private island with vast beaches, breathtaking landscapes and a guarded deep-water harbor is equipped with a marina with a floating docking system for yachts and 35 berths, as well as its own 2800-foot runway.
Ronde
The small island state of Grenada, in the chain of the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea, has about 600 islands, of which at least 12 are for sale. According to a report by Wealth-X, which provides information on the Caribbean’s luxury property and investment market, 1, 155 extremely wealthy people live here, mostly from the United States, Britain and Canada. Many of them in these places own luxurious sites or islands. One of these tidbits for $ 100 million is currently on sale. This is hilly Rond, one of the most expensive holiday islands with an area of 8.093 km² - with luxurious wildlife, white beaches, turquoise lagoons and an underground cave decorated with stalactites and quartz crystals.
Macapule
The most expensive private islands include the Mexican Macapule, an unusual site in the Cortes Sea (Gulf of California), with an area of 0.021 km². Its current owners put Macapule for $ 95.3 million on condition of a full purchase, but are ready to consider a joint venture or other investments, as they planned this place for tourism or resort development. Indeed, dotted with sea lagoons and backwaters, the desert landscape of the island with magnificent beaches and unspoiled nature is best suited for this. Moreover, Macapule is located 150 meters from the coastline, opposite the picturesque resort town of Las Glorias Beach and 53 km from the international airport in Guasava.
