Monday, December 31st, 2007A few weeks ago I posted that Google co-founder Larry Page married finance Lucy Southworth on Necker Island, the luxury private island owned by Virgin founder and billionaire Richard Branson (read story here).

Caribbean Island in Nova Scotia
Sunday, December 30th, 2007When I came across Mounton Island on Private Islands Online I was amazed at how much it looked like a hybrid between a Canadian and a Caribbean private island.

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007I have been waiting all year to do a post on Christmas Island, because doing a post on this island in July just didn’t seem appropriate.

Private Island Style Spa in Brazil
Monday, December 24th, 2007As the stress of the holiday season approaches its climax I thought I would feature a spa retreat in Brazil.
