Private-island holidays might conjure up images of palm-fringed beaches on far-flung archipelagos in the Caribbean or the Maldives, with price tags to match. In fact, we’ve tried and tested the best private islands in the world, but these are the Airbnb properties we love the look of so much we had to share them. And the best bit? Prices are from just £68 a night.
We’ve combed through Airbnb listings in search of islands around Europe to take over as your own – for a week or two – and found fishing lodges in Ireland, off-grid cabins in Scandinavia and lighthouses in Croatia. Most of these retreats are miles away from the nearest supermarket, so don’t forget the milk.
