If renting a private room in a flat-share in Rome just doesnt cut it when it comes to finding accommodation for a summer trip, then you might want to consider getting something bigger.

Something, saylike a private island.

If you thought that having exclusive holidaying rights to a Caribbean islandwas the sort of thing only Richard Branson could dream of, think again.

Because Airbnb is renting out Bird Island, just off the coast of Belize, for a steal.

For just $595 or 456 (how much do you think private islands normally are to rent out?!), you can have this island entirely to yourself to chill, swim and drink jellied coconuts.

Needless to say, this is a kind of self-catering stay so youll have to bring your own food with you for the duration but the house on the island does have all the modern amenities youd want.

It has a master bedroom with a double bed and two separate cabanas so you can bring up to six people with you.

Theres Wi-Fi crucial for maintaining that #privateislandlife Instagram feed going strong. Theres a good bathroom, solar and wind-powered energy, a fridge.

And the best bit, aside from the privacy, is that there are no mosquitoes on the island.

To get there, you simply need to catch a boat from Placencia the price of which is included in the overall rental fee.

Bring your own snorkelling equipment and Moet and youve got yourself a holiday to rival Richards.
