On one condition...
Who doesn't dream of being able to sit on their own Island to relax? This dream could now actually come true for a few people, as the Maldives are auctioning off a total of 16 uninhabited islands. With 170,000 euros you are already there. But there is one small condition!
Many vacation-hungry people probably can't believe their eyes, but it's really true! It is now possible to buy your own island in the Maldives at auction. The government of the luxurious vacation destination wants to boost tourism again. Whoever gets hold of one of the islands can lease the island for 50 years and live in paradise.
For an uninhabited island with a size of around 1.2 hectares, you are well off with a capital of 210,000 dollars, the equivalent of around 173,000 euros. However, if you are aiming for a larger paradise, you can buy a 10.4 hectare island at auction for around 1.2 million euros.
But there is one thing you have to do when you buy one of the 16 islands at auction: the tenants must have a Hotel with at least 100 beds and show great consideration for the ecosystem and vegetation. But if you consider that you have your own island for 50 years, then this investment would be worth considering...
Those who would like to participate in the auction can still bid until 10 June at this Submit offers on this page. Incidentally, the islands do not go to the people who bid the most. The selection is based on a special points system. Accordingly, 60 points are awarded for the highest offer, 20 points if you plan for at least 70 percent of the employees in the hotel to be locals. Points can also be collected for a certain percentage of women and investments in the government's tourism fund.
