Private lives

YOU know you've made it when you own an island. It's the ultimate status symbol. Privacy guaranteed. A paparazzi-free zone. Hot-to-trot locales for cashed-up celebs include the Caribbean and the Bahamas, with Belize fast on their heels (Leonardo DiCaprio is rumoured to have purchased an island there recently).
But private islands are becoming scarcer and pricier. A recent Forbes Magazine round-up of the world's most expensive island hideaways has, at No.1, the 6ha Isla de sa Ferradura near Ibiza in Spain. Asking price? A cool $53million. This buys a luxe hacienda and sundry accessories including boats, Jeeps and golf buggies.
Broker for the sale is Hamburg-based Farhad Vladi, the high-flying L.J. Hooker of islands. For more than 30 years he has scoured the world for island real estate and his company, Vladi Private Islands, sells and rents islands and operates a travel agency specialising in island holidays.
...
If buying an island is more than a little out of your league, you may consider renting one instead. They come in all shapes and sizes and vary in price from a few hundred dollars a week to several thousand dollars a night. New properties for hire on Vladi's books include the aptly named Castaway Island in the Maldives sleeping only four people in luxury tents (from $US3500 a day).
Or there's Galloo, the second largest private island in the US, located on the eastern side of Lake Ontario in New York state. Boasting high cliffs, sandy beaches, a natural harbour and a handsome guest lodge with animal-themed rooms, Galloo is a huntin', fishin' kind of place with good stocks of whitetail deer, pheasants and ducks, while the island's waters promise excellent catches of salmon, pike and bass. Boats, kayaks, an island Jeep and quad bikes are at guests' disposal. Rates begin at $US19,500 a week for up to 12 guests on a self-catering basis.

Across the ditch in Marlborough Sound, 15 minutes from Wellington by helicopter, New Zealand's Forsyth Island affords dramatic vistas best appreciated by traipsing its 48km of walking trails. Accommodating up to eight in a luxury three-bedroom lodge, Forsyth can be rented on a self-catering or full-board basis. Resident caretakers will provision the house or prepare meals as required, plucking vegetables from the island garden and fish from the sea, not forgetting those marvellous local wines. Expect the full gamut of water-based activities, including whale watching in season. The island is accessible by boat from Havelock if you're a tad chopper-shy; rates begin at $835 a day for up to eight guests. Add $67 a day full board for each person. More: www.forsyth.co.nz.
