If you've always fancied taking over a secluded private island for a night, you're not alone.
As it turns out, an entire block of tropical land could be yours for as little as £237.
Global holiday rental website HomeToGo has rounded up 10 of the best private islands available to book through its search engine — and many of them work out cheaper than renting a double room in a luxury hotel.
If you're planning a major birthday bash, anniversary party, or just a group summer trip, a private island definitely presents a unique alternative to your typical holiday villa.
From the pristine waters of Belize to the tropical paradise of the Bahamas, scroll down to find a selection of incredible private islands for rent, ranked in descending order.
10. Colleton River Plantation, US — $307 (£237).

9. Bird Island, Belize — $435 (£335).
This paradise island is located in the middle of a coral reef with unbeatable marine life, crystal clear waters, and beautiful weather year round.
