Extravagant Islands You Can Actually Buy

Subtle Islands—British Columbia

The private purchase of this rustic retreat includes a 13,600-square-foot main residence, a boathouse and dock, staff quarters, a guest house, and an aircraft hangar—just to name of a few of the extra amenities.

Sandy Cay—Abaco, Bahamas

Of course, no island this decadent would come without extravagant extras. The plot features a 5,400-square-foot main house all the watersport accessories you can imagine (paddleboards, kayaks, and a laser sailboat, to name a few), and even a fully equipped fitness center featuring Direct TV, surround sound capabilities, and a wet bar.

Perot's Island—Southhampton, Bermuda

Bonefish Cay—Andros Bahamas

Nestled among a row of cays in the Bahamas' Andros Islands, Bonefish may not come with many extra amenities, but compared to the price of most other islands, it's practically a steal.

Nurai Island—Abu Dhabi

Sotheby's describes this Abu Dhabi island quite accurately when calling it an "amazing estate." With a sprawling, six-bedroom beachfront household, a private helipad, luxury spa, first-class fitness center, and a handful of watersport accessories, there's no doubt Nurai Island is anything short of astonishing. Oh and in case you were worried about where your staff might stay, don't worry because there's a chef's quarter and maid's chamber too.
