ISLAND.LYPrivate island brokerage

Private island brokerage — worldwide

Islands are not listed.They are placed.

We broker the sale and the exclusive rental of private islands — on the open market when that serves the owner, and off-market when discretion matters more than exposure. Owners keep control of their identity. Buyers are qualified before they are introduced.

Owners
Discreet representation, controlled disclosure, no public price until you agree.
Buyers
Access to islands that never reach a property portal, matched to a written brief.
Tenants
Whole-island exclusive use, with the logistics handled end to end.

Demonstration notice. Sample listings are shown for demonstration only and are not real offers. Real listings submitted by owners appear here once verified.

What we do

A brokerage built around three conversations

01 — Owners

We represent your island

You send the facts. We prepare the presentation, approach qualified parties directly, and report every contact back to you. Your name and the exact location stay private until you decide otherwise.

List an island

02 — Buyers

We find the island that fits

Write your brief once: region, budget, access, what you intend to build. We search the open market and the owners we already speak to, then hand you only the islands that survive scrutiny.

03 — Rentals

Exclusive use, fully arranged

Whole-island rentals for families, retreats and events — staff, transfers, boats and provisioning agreed before you arrive, with one point of contact throughout.

How it works

Five steps, no surprises

Buying an island is slower and more document-heavy than buying a house. We make the path explicit before anyone spends money on lawyers.

Read the full process
  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Tell us what you are looking for, or what you own. One page is enough to start.

  2. 02

    Qualification

    We establish budget, timing and proof of funds or proof of ownership before anyone is introduced.

  3. 03

    Introduction

    We introduce the right parties and share a due-diligence pack under confidentiality where required.

  4. 04

    Due diligence

    Your local lawyer and surveyor verify title, access, water rights, permits and encumbrances.

  5. 05

    Completion

    We coordinate with both sides and their advisers through transfer and handover.

For island owners

An island that sits on a portal for two years is not being sold.

Island sales are decided by a small number of people. We approach them directly, with a properly prepared file, and we tell you honestly what your island is worth in the current market rather than what you hope it is worth.

  • — Confidential and off-market mandates
  • — Buyer qualification before any introduction
  • — You approve every release of information

What we need to begin

  1. 1. Country and general location, with island size.
  2. 2. Ownership structure — freehold, leasehold or concession.
  3. 3. Access: airstrip, dock, distance to the mainland.
  4. 4. Buildings, water, power and what is included in the sale.
  5. 5. Your price expectation and your timeline.

Send what you have — documents can follow later. Nothing is published without your written approval.
