Mnemba Island, Zanzibar
Mnemba Island, Zanzibar
We hope you have a lot of money. Mnemba is an exclusive, privately owned island off the coast of Tanzania, and at only 500 metres in diameter, you won't find many other people crowding your little corner of paradise. You'll need to pay around £1,200 a night to stay on the island or you'll get a hefty fine. Aside from sipping champagne, you can also see three species of dolphin, humpback whales and green turtles in the surrounding crystal clear water.
Korcula, Croatia
Korcula, Croatia
You don't want to be too far from home so the island of Korčula in Croatia might be perfect for you. There's plenty to do and see here - the island is known for its dense forest and walled town full of medieval squares, churches and palaces. It's less touristy than Hvar and Brac but arguably more beautiful.
Lofoten Islands, Norway
Lofoten Islands, Norway
You crave adventure and incredible scenery and Norway's Lofoten Islands has it in bucket loads. Far north of the Arctic Circle, the mountians, fjords and villages of Lofoten offer incredible opportunities for hiking, skiing, fishing, scuba diving and surfing. Go in winter and there's a good chance you'll see the Northern Lights.
Taprobane, Sri Lanka
Taprobane, Sri Lanka
Jet off to the south of Sri Lanka because your new home will be on the tiny island of Taprobane. There's only one residence here - a neo-palladian mandion where kings, queens presidents and famous writers have lived - in the two and a half acres of sheer tropical fantasy. You're not too far from shore either if you want to explore the temples, wildlife and beaches of the mainland.
Los Roques, Venezuela
Los Roques, Venezuela
This archipelago is 160 miles off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea and contains more than 300 islands. It has coral reef to rival Australia, blinding white beaches and calm turquoise waters, with a huge variety of sea bird and aquatic life. The A-list love it here (apparently Leo DiCaprio is a regular) and it attracts wealthy visitors from the States and Italy.
