You Can Buy Out a Private Island in the Maldives for $35,000 — Here's What You Get for the Money

Money isn’t everything, but it sure has a lot of perks.

For instance, you’d be surprised at what $35,000 can get you. A nice car? A down payment on a house? Or, perhaps your own private island?

Naladhu Private Island, located in the Maldives, is a luxury resort of 20 private houses on the edge of a lagoon in South Malé Atoll — and it can be all yours for $35,000 per night.

A total island takeover, according to a statement by the resort, is available to a maximum of 50 guests at a time for a minimum of three nights. Got 50 friends who could use a vacation? Be prepared to be extremely popular, because if you split that hefty $35,000 per night price tag between 50 people it only amounts up to $700 per night, per guest.

But it’s all worth it because you’ll literally have an entire island all to yourselves, complete with pristine beaches, unspoiled jungle, a private pool for every house on the island, world-class dining, luxury spa, and 24/7 personalized butler service.

In addition, the Naladhu Private Island Maldives private island buyout package includes a daily gourmet breakfast, personalized menus at the resort’s restaurant, a day cruise aboard your luxury private yacht, access to nearby “sister” island resorts, and many more perks. This is what we mean when we say, “bang for your buck.”

The resort also offers opportunities for island hopping, snorkeling, and surfing. While the many activities on the island are an exciting way to spend your stay, you can also lounge in your luxury room and sunbathe on the beach all day, too.
