Top 5: Private Islands You Can Book This Summer

Don’t settle for just any beach getaway this summer. Book your own private island for an experience unlike any other!

Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro
This Airbnb property is a private island off the coast of Brazil, under a half-hour boat ride from the mainland. The Italian-style home has six bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, so you can easily bring your closest friends along for the adventure. An on-island staff takes care of your every need, but you can book extra services such as a professional chef and your own private boat captain.

Brother Island, El Nido, Philippines
Another Airbnb property, this private island stay includes a seven-bedroom retreat, regional cuisine for all three meals, airport transfer, water sports equipment and housekeeping. Add-ons include your own photo or video shoot with drone footage, acoustic or DJ performances, hookah service, an open bar, island-hopping tours and beach massages.

No Man’s Fort, England
If your idea of an island getaway is less tropical and more unique, head to No Man’s Fort, a large manmade structure near Portsmouth often used as a hotel, but that can be booked exclusively. Its 22 guestrooms and suites are available for private groups from 10 people to 200. Enjoy the sauna, sun deck and speedboats with an entire crew available to fulfill your every need.

Coupon Key, Fla.
For an island escape without even leaving the United States, the Florida Keys offers an option in the form of Coupon Key. The solitary, 4,500-square-foot house offers eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, a billiards room and a fully equipped kitchen, with additional amenities including grocery service and hair and nail treatments. Sunbathe, swim, fish, sail and explore the neighboring islands, all comfortably and conveniently.

Dolphin Island, Fiji
A 14-acre, private luxury retreat popular with wedding parties, Dolphin Island features several suites to choose from, an infinity pool, one open-air bedroom and all the amenities needed for both relaxation and adventure. Enjoy snorkeling, massages, diving, island hopping, cooking lessons, fishing and more.
