November 04, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Port Douglas, Australia, Friday November 4, 2007 – There is nothing more exclusive and sought after in the world than having your own private island, it becomes effectively your own little kingdom. From Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island, Mel Gibson’s Mago Island in Fiji, to Marlon Brando’s private tropical atoll of Te’tiaroa, private islands are exactly that - private.

The extraordinary private island resort of Caye Chapel, is located just off the coast of Belize City, in the central American country of Belize. The 265 acre island is 2.5 miles long, half a mile wide, and has over 13,000 feet of beachfront property, 12-slip marina, private airstrip, stunning seaside villas, magnificent bar & restaurant, conference facilities, large swimming pool complex with bar, and long sandy beaches. But the most attractive feature of the island is its par-72 USGA course with four par-5 holes which has received international acclaim for its quality design and calibre of play. The island’s landscape features picturesque inland ponds, lush vegetation including 3000 mature palm trees, and abundant wildlife consisting of native birds, crocodiles and iguanas. The island is situated amidst the second biggest barrier reef in the world, but only a 10 minute flight from Belize City, and just a 2 hour flight from Miami. The island is for sale for $75M USD.
