Maroon Me: You can rent this tropical island complete with chef and spa … but it doesn’t come cheap
IF YOU want to get away from it all — and everyone else — then this island will be right up your street
IF YOU’VE ever wanted an entire private island to yourself overnight then now’s your chance … if you’ve got very deep pockets.
You can stay on your own 278sq m exotic island off the coast of Belize from £2200 ($AU3930) per night, reported The Sun.
For the price you’ll get Gladden Island which lies on the Belize Barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea all to yourself.
Located 32km off the coast of Placencia, Gladden is the furthest island out from the mainland and closest to the protected side of the reef where the water is calm and clear.
The magical Gladden Split where whale sharks congregate once a year is just a few km away.
The price of £2,200 ($AU3930) for two people per night or £2600 ($AU4645) for four people per night is completely all-inclusive.
You’ll get all your meals prepared by a gourmet chef, all drinks, activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving and PADI certification, spa treatments, various mainland excursions, and transfers from and to Belize City are included.
You’ll also get a one-way 35 minute helicopter transfer over the barrier reef directly to Gladden.
The listing reads: “Stand in the entryway and let your eyes wander across the swimming pool to the coral reef beyond.
“Slip into the master suite, a soothing enclave of dark woods complemented by wide windows overlooking the ocean.”
It continues: “Climb to the roof terrace to soak up the sun and bask in the panorama of aquamarine lagoons as far as the eye can see.
“The villa was built for two, but a second master bedroom can comfortably accommodate another couple should you decide that such dazzling beauty deserves to be shared.
“Moonlit dining on our roof top terrace, romantic dinners on the beach, or pool side tapas are standard fare.
“Organic produce grown in Gladdens Garden, fresh fish straight from the surrounding waters, and dishes accompanied by our curated wine collection ensure that dining reaches new heights on Gladden.”
It continues: “Le Cordon Bleu trained in house chef Colleen Leube creates custom meals to guests tastes.
“Cuisine never gets boring when guests are treated to an array of visiting chefs allowing guests to sample the best of Belizian cuisine.”
