Your own island. How does that sound?


By Jessica Champion

These days you can buy almost anything; private jets, private boats and private resorts, but now you can buy your own island. There are many different varieties of islands available such as tropical, Canadian and many others. They range in sizes, shapes, styles, locations and price. Prices of Private islands vary from hundreds of thousands to millions. And although it might be rare to come across someone who has purchased one of these islands, it is becoming more and more common.

Why buy an island you say? People buy islands for many different reasons that can include business, investments, and leisure or just for the sake of showing the world that you have money. There are many websites out there that can help you browse islands fit to your budget and uses among many other factors as well as ensuring that you have the best experience possible whilst making you purchase.

The only downside to buying an island is the cost. Not many people have the odd couple of million dollars lying around that they can just grab at any time and buy whatever island they want. For the rest of us, we can dream and we can save, and maybe one day we can hopefully have the money to go out and buy an island to lie on hammocks and sip fruit smoothies for our retirement.
We can dream.
