If you have always dreamed of owning your own private island, you will love what these top 5 islands have to offer. Of course, you will need to have a great deal of extra money laying around in order to be able to purchase one of these beautiful islands.

Petit Mustique

Mustique

Petit Mustique, which is currently valued at 65,000,000 Euros, is located in St. Vincent and The Grenadines. You may have heard of its big sister island, known simply as Mustique, but Petit Mustique has just as much to offer but in a smaller package.

In all, Petit Mustique has 99 acres of land. The island hasn?t received as much attention as Mustique, which is located to the north of Petit, because it hadn?t been developed. With its recent development, however, it is likely to become just as beautiful and impressive as its bigger sister.

Caye Chapel Resort

Caye Chapel, Belize

Caye Chapel Resort, which is located in Belize, is currently valued at $75,000,000. This 265 acre island was originally designed to serve as a private retreat, but opened its doors as a resort destination in 2002. In all, the island boasts eight beachfront villas, a deep water marina, a private landing strip, a clubhouse, a restaurant, and an 18 hole championship golf course.

Ronde Island

Ronde Island is valued at $100,000,000 and consists of 2,000 acres, which makes it larger than some small countries. The island remains undeveloped and is considered by many to be one of the true gems remaining within the Caribbean. Once developed, many experts believe the island will be worth somewhere around $1 billion.

Rangyai Island

Rangyai Island

Rangyai Island is located in Thailand and is valued at $160,000,000. The beautiful 110 acre island is located just off the coast of Phuket, which is one of the most popular destinations in all of Thailand, and features white sand beaches as well as lush tropical vegetation.

Lisbon Island

Lisbon Island, which is located in Portugal, is available for $350,000,000. The fact that it is located only 6 km from Lisbon International Airport and 5 km from Lisbon Harbor is one reason for the high value of this island. Many developers have already been eying the island and are interested in adding world class spas and a luxury golf resort to its pristine setting. It can very easily become one of the hottest new vacation destinations within the next few years.

    Rangyai Island in thailand and worth $160,000,000 ? I don’t think so. The island isn’t that big and usually the price is HIGH but nothing like $160,000,000!
