Private Island BioHavens
Friday, December 21st, 2007Biomimicry is a new word to me, and it may be new to you as well. However, chances are that you will be hearing more about it in the next few years. Biomimicry is the study of natural processes for solutions to human problems.
The principle first coined in 1997 is the […]
Big Island, Little Price
Thursday, December 20th, 2007As most of my avid readers know whenever an island comes on the market that I think is a really good investment opportunity I like to report on it. I recently came upon an island called Big Fish Cay.
Big Fish Cay is located in the beautiful and highly desirable Abacos chain of the Bahamas. […]
Man Crowns Self King of Island
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007Most island owners like to think of themselves as “masters of their domain” or the “king of their own island.” There is really no harm in doing this, unless of course thousands of people already live on the island.
A man named David Howe, was recently contacted by a genealogist in England who informed him […]
Rent a Celebrities Island
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007It’s no secret that celebrities love private islands, after all virtually every article written about private islands features the famous celebrities who own some of them. Although many celebrities choose to keep the location, name and details of their private island secret, many others are willing to share their islands with guests…for a price. […]
Eco-Friendly Island Illumination
Monday, December 17th, 2007Whenever I find a great product that has the potential to make island living more comfortable I like to feature it.

Plum Island is one of the more well known islands utilized […]
Tulip Island
Saturday, December 15th, 2007I have never heard of this project before, and I am skeptical about the legitimacy of the rumors about the project. However, it is certainly not the first time humans have endeavored to build islands that resemble real objects (i.e. The World Dubai, the Palm Dubai).
Apparently the Dutch have come up with a radical […]
French Polynesia for the Holidays
Friday, December 14th, 2007I love spending the holidays with my family here in Michigan, and I couldn’t imagine a Christmas without snow. However, if I was to escape the cold weather for the holidays I would likely flee to a tropical private island somewhere. An island I have had my eyes on for a while is […]
Exquisite Turkish Island
Thursday, December 13th, 2007It seems that private islands in Fiji and the Caribbean get all the attention, but truth be told there are some remarkable islands for sale in Europe. Although not as plentiful as islands in other areas of the world, European islands often have an old world charm and are often rich in history. Ciftlik Island, […]
Be Gone Island Bugs
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007I am not going to debate the fact that bugs play an important role in our environment. That being said as any camper or island owner can tell you, occasionally they can be a headache. I am personally against the use of pesticides to get rid of bugs, I feel that they are […]
