It's not far from your own yacht to a private island. Not even in terms of price. The choice is enormous. From wooded islands off the Canadian coast to tropical islands, everything is available.
A private island is the epitome of paradise, promising carefree holidays (almost) without noisy neighbours. For many people, having their own piece of land surrounded by the sea, lake or river is the pinnacle of happiness. There's no need for a holiday home or villa, because if you're travelling on a yacht, you'll have a place to sleep and a saloon with you. Then it's just a case of dropping anchor and lying on the beach during the day, going for a walk and watching the birds.

Anyone who buys a private island is looking to be close to nature
Farhad Vladi tells us what an island should or shouldn't have and how to get one in a Interview. The founder of Vladi Private Islands has been brokering dreams for 55 years - to celebrities as well as ordinary people. For sale or for rent.
When I sold the 100th private island, I took a look at all the customers, but I couldn't find anything in common. One is a dentist, the other a banker or carpenter. They all have one desire, and that is to be connected with nature - and that has nothing to do with their profession, nothing at all."
