Dear Island Enthusiasts,

It is with great pleasure that I share with you some positive signs the private island market is improving. The number of inquiries has increased significantly since this time last year and more island sales are actually closing.

More island prices are coming down to reasonable levels and prices of newly listed islands are beginning to reflect this trend. The number of orders for our print magazine catalogue has increased significantly; a sign that more serious buyers are on the horizon.

A flood of new opportunities have become available over the last month: In the Bahamas, Walker's Cay, once a legendary fishing resort is looking for a new owner to bring it back to its formal glory. And High Cay, a rare find with 3 pristine white sand beaches and over 30 acres of diverse terrain is also available for an attractive US$ 3 Million. And to all the history buffs and entrepreneurs: The first sightings of land were made here by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Imagine the branding possibilities for this historically significant paradise …

In the turn key category we have: Vettila Thuruthu, a rare fully developed 5 star island resort in Kerala, India; available for rent and sale. And listed by Edward Childs from Smiths Gore Ltd, we have Buck Island in the British Virgin Islands. The images of Buck Island in our print issue are absolutely stunning. Order your copy here. And for those of you who want some of the luxuries of a private island without all the hard work, Emerald Cay in the Turks and Caicos can be yours for US$ 48.5 Million. It boasts a 6000 bottle wine cellar and even has its own remote control moat for easy access and added security. While private islands available for sale in the Turks and Caicos are rare, Pine Cay is a world class 800 acre island community with world class activities. There are still a few lots/homes available. For more information get in touch with Sara Kaufman at info@pinecay.biz

For those of you looking to market your private island more subtly and effectively; a presence in our semi-annual print publication "Private Islands Magazine" is highly recommended. There are no charges for editorials and ad rates are very affordable. With a readership of over 100,000, you won't find a more effective targeted advertising method. If you're thinking of selling and you have high resolution images of your island then contact me directly at chris@privateislandsinc.com.

Finally, in order to keep up with the demand for our print magazine, we are looking for talented and enthusiastic writers who are passionate about islands. Please send your resume to: editor@privateislandsmag.com

Sincerely,

Chris Krolow
CEO, Private Islands Inc.
