Renting an affordable island
When you think of renting an island, most would-be travelers reject the idea because it is presumably too expensive. But Little Whale Cay in the Bahamas may be the exception.
“If a group of 10 or 12 rented the entire island of Little Whale Cary, having it all to themselves for five nights, it is less expensive than you would think,” says a news release.
Why”
What do you get?
The private island set in the heart of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas offers accommodations; a long main beach; a marina with a flotilla of boats for sailing, cruising, fishing, water-skiing and off-island excursions; a spa and gym facilities; a sea-view infinity edged pool; tennis court and even a chapel.
Plus, the rental includes a chef and staff whose job is to watch over the guests.
It accommodates up to 12 guests in 3 individual villas, privately set on 93 acres, skirted by white, unspoiled, sandy beaches.
Villas are all air-conditioned, with flat screen TVs, DVD players, WiFi and telephones; Little Whale House, the main house and usually the popular gathering place, is equipped with a bar and satellite fed flat screen TV; several bedrooms, a study with a computer; spacious living room, dining room and terrace.
So what’s the math?
“Surprisingly affordable,” says the site at $10,500 until Dec. 15 per day for up to 12 days with a minimum of five nights. That works out to $4375 per person for a five night vacation on a private island with all the facilities above.
“Now, if the group should book a hotel for 12 people for 5 nights, they would get rooms, not an island, for maybe $400 or $500 per day not including food, certainly not spirits, or sports, or boating. The $4375 would not go very far. There would be extras on top of extras and very little control of cost,” the site says.
