You\u2019ll have exclusive use of the 600,000 square metre island, which is a home to a five-bedroom villa complete with a 17-metre saltwater pool, outdoor Jacuzzi and gym.<\/p>\n<p>The team on hand includes an island manager to curate your staff, a private chef, waiters, and housekeeping staff.<\/p>\n<p>Further afield, the Maldives has a number of private island options, as does the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>Necker Island, owned by Sir Richard Branson, is perhaps the most famous.

detoxing.Think it\u2019s time to put your money where your mouth is? Then you might be interested in this Greek island that\u2019s up for grabs.Makri, which is part of the Echinades island group in the Ionian sea, is going up for auction this November with a starting price of \u20ac247,000, reports Greek newspaper THEMA.\u00a0A place you can really get back to basics, the island is home to just a few abandoned buildings including a small house, a water cistern and a chapel.You won\u2019t be able to make upgrades easily, either \u2013 the island is classified as forest land, and also falls under the protection of Natura 2000, the network of protected areas within the EU.That means only \u201cminimal light infrastructure\u201d, as well as agriculture, is permitted, according to THEMA.Makri had originally gone up for auction in 2022, with a price of \u20ac8 million, but a reevaluation of its worth exposed the limitations for potential investors who could have been looking to turn the island into a new resort destination.Other private islands you can bookIf you want to live the private island life, you don\u2019t necessarily have to buy one.Elsewhere in Greece, you can rent out Turquoise Private Island in the Athens Riviera. Able to host up to 20 guests, the 10-bedroom eight-bathroom property is reachable via helicopter and comes complete with your own butler and private chef.Tagomago Island, found just under a kilometre away from Ibiza in Spain\u2019s Balearic Islands, is also available to book. You\u2019ll have exclusive use of the 600,000 square metre island, which is a home to a five-bedroom villa complete with a 17-metre saltwater pool, outdoor Jacuzzi and gym.The team on hand includes an island manager to curate your staff, a private chef, waiters, and housekeeping staff.Further afield, the Maldives has a number of private island options, as does the Caribbean.Necker Island, owned by Sir Richard Branson, is perhaps the most famous. You can book out the entire island for your stay, or book an individual room on select dates.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2026\/05\/18\/off-grid-greece-this-private-island-is-going-up-for-auction-from-247000&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/76\/24\/71\/1200x675_cmsv2_34073561-687d-5508-bbd0-a3b2454770e3-9762471.jpg&#8221;] Residences Take a long snooze in South Korea: Is this the world\u2019s best hotel bed?
