For anyone wanting a bit of peace the thought of living on a remote island might well appeal. Far from the hustle and bustle of city life it can seem the ideal place. And one such island is on the market - complete with five-bedroom luxury accommodation, a pool and gym and incredible views.
The only snag is it also comes with a £33.5m price-tag. North Island sits in a private lagoon in the Maldives with crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches.
It is currently being sold by David Britton International, a Lake District-based real estate agency for $45m. It is located just off Medhufaru in the Noonu Atoll. It is set to have the stunning villa complex built on it.
It will be the only single-residence island to exist in the wider Maldives archipelago. Managing Director David said: “I have walked along the sands and soaked up the picture-perfect views of this truly remarkable island. “It is paradise personified and without question, the most exclusive and exciting piece of real estate we have had the privilege to market.
It will make an exceptional holiday retreat for the most discerning of international travellers who will find it offers unparalleled luxury.” North Island is a part of the Soneva Jani destination resort, located 105 miles north of the Maldivian capital city of Malé. Sitting at the northern tip of Soneva, it will feature a 3,717 sq m built-up area and a total land area of 33,437 sq m - around the size of three football pitches.
