For Sale: one tropical island in Fiji
Do you have 25 million Euros burning a hole in your pocket? (That's $33 million for U.S. readers!) Then perhaps you'd consider bidding on your very own tropical paradise, which is up for auction on eBay. The 225-acre island is located near Fiji, and is approximately 1 mile long and 1/3 of a mile wide. It reaches elevations of 150 feet and is surrounded by a 5000 acre lagoon that promises underwater visibility to 200 feet and year round temperatures of 80ºF. That's not all you'll get for your hard earned money however. The island is also home to a "world class" resort. Well, it will be a world class resort when it is finished. It is currently about 80% complete, with another six to nine months of construction time necessary to finish it all up. The resort offers some nice amenities however, including a dining pavilion, full spa, and 21 guest villas, complete with fancy furnishings and hot tubs for two. Access to the island is gained via a 3400 foot long airstrip, which runs right by the 9 hole golf course.
Adventurous travelers will find plenty to do on the island, as the waters are excellent for diving and snorkeling, and there are nine caves available to explore should you choose to go spelunking. Prefer to just sit on the beach sipping a fruity drink? You can do that too, while spotting local wildlife, which includes the leather back sea turtles and rare coconut crabs.
Seems like quite the deal if you've got the spare change available. Sadly there is no "buy it now" discount on this eBay item.

You can also buy your own island in the beautiful 1000 Islands in Upstate New York on the border of Canada on the St. Lawrence River. A little closer and great value! Check it out!

Wow. Even if imagining this place in my mind is as close to paradise as I'll ever get, I'll take it! And glory be... I don't even have to fly the unfriendly skies to get there!
