Motu Tohepuku, French Polynesia

Motu Tohepuku in French Polynesia, right between a tranquil lagoon and the South Pacific, has a private beach and is completely free of buildings, so you can build whatever you want. What's perfect about this island is how much space you get – almost 19 hectares of palm trees, bluer than blue water and a white beach where you can see dolphins and whales swimming off the coast. All this for €370.000.

Pink Pearl Island, Nicaragua

Pink Pearl Island is located approximately 4,8 miles off the Caribbean coast of mainland Nicaragua, among the Pearl Cays groups of islands. Surrounded by white sandy beaches and clear blue waters, this private island is currently a turnkey tourism business but can also be used as a personal resort. For €410.000 you get your own tropical paradise. The purchase of this island also comes with three thatched bungalows and a speedboat to take you to the mainland.

Dumunpalit, Philippines

This 75-hectare island is located in the Mindoro Strait, about a 40-minute flight southeast of Manila. Dumunpalit is also often called Turtle Island, a nod to the 150-meter-high volcanic towers that resemble fins flipping through the turquoise waters. You can buy this island for €2,3 million.

Tahifehifa Island, Tonga

Tonga is an excellent whale watching destination and is one of the few countries in the world where swimming with the whales is allowed. There are few islands in the world as beautiful and unique as Tahifehifa. You can also enjoy this for €305.000.

Howard Island, Michigan

This beautiful island is located just off the coast of Drummond, half a mile from Drummond Island Yacht Haven. For €800 you can have a two-bedroom house with a fireplace, large windows overlooking the water, a newly renovated bathroom and a new septic tank and field. A garage/boathouse is located near a dock for all your necessities. The L-shaped dock with deep water can handle large yachts and provides good protection.
