You can rent a private island with up to five others for around £36 a night each

Ever wanted to stay on your own private island? Your chance could be right here.

For a limited time, Hotels.com is offering the ‘Friendsgiving’ island for $2,000 plus tax (approx. £1533) in total for a week from November 14 to November 21.

If six people stay there, that comes to roughly £255.50 per person for the week, or £36.50 a night.

If your household is smaller, three people can stay there for £73 a night each and two people can have the island all to themselves for £109.50 a night each – still a pretty great bargain as far as we’re concerned.

The usual cost of booking the island for a week is upwards of $9,500 (approx £7,282).

The island, which includes, a 5,000 square-foot house, a pool, a moat and a helipad, is located off the coast of Marathon, Florida,

Whoever books the Friendsgiving package will also get a private chef to cook you a Thanksgiving dinner and a personal boat service to take you to the island.

The island, called East Sister Rock Island, also houses a two-bed guest cottage – perfect if you want to bring a second household and socialise outside on the main house’s wrap-around deck, outdoor dining area or by the pool.

However, booking the guest cottage will cost an extra $3,250 (approx £2,491) a week.

The main house also comes equipped with a full-sized pool table on the deck, a fully-equipped open plan kitchen and living room with a fireplace, satellite TV, and couch, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

More adventurous guests have access to a kayak and paddleboards, and you can also book kiteboarding lessons and take a boat to check out the nearby coaral reefs.

You’ll be able to book this Friendsgiving deal from October 27.

This deal is being offered on a first-come-first-served basis so you’d better be ready to act fast when the deal goes live.
