Sometimes the ideal vacation is one where you don’t really have to be around anyone except those you’re travelling with. In that light, you might think that a private island is best. But what about the price tag? And are there that many to go around to even rent?!

The answer to both questions is yes. If you’re looking on Airbnb, there are quite a few islands that you can rent to make your getaway a memorable one. In this article, we’ve checked out some of the best private islands that you can rent through Airbnb.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 13, 2024.

7. Bird Island, Belize (from USD 838)

This island Airbnb for rent may be the postcard image that comes to mind when you think of “island getaway” and with good reason. Bird Island is off the coast from Placencia Village, nestled right in the middle of protected waters and right on a private atoll. This gaily-colored home is decked out with enough yard space to enjoy the warm sun and air of the Gulf of Mexico and allows guests to view all of the splendid wildlife that populates the waters of the reef including flocks of pelicans that perch on tiny islands offshore.

Recent expansions now allow for Bird Island to accommodate up to six people throughout the cabana with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main house with additional wings. In terms of communication, there’s a phone line available for local calls along with wireless internet. The house has a full kitchen, and the host does advise that you bring enough provisions to last you for your stay. In addition, Bird Island also runs on solar power generators and offers two-person kayaks and knee boards for those who want to explore the waters surrounding the atoll.

Guests should note that given the remoteness of the island, that they should plan for a drive from Belize International of at least five hours including, shopping and transfer to the island. It may be better to rather arrange a flight to Placencia from Belize International Airport in order to arrive before dark.

8. Placencia, Belize (from USD 394)

This island rental off of the coast of Belize is a prime choice for those couples who want to get away from it all in a tropical setting. Hideaway Caye is an isolated mangrove island, replete with boardwalks that allow guests to navigate the island at their whim. Hideaway Caye is part of the larger UNESCO World Heritage Site of South Water Caye Marine Reserve. There is a restaurant and bar that is attached to the cabana which are open to the public for limited periods of time, but the cabana itself is primarily for two people although there is a futon for another guest with advance notice in addition to the master bedroom. This rental is also notable in that the owners of the island run the restaurant and bar and are responsible for the meals - even those you may be inclined to catch yourself while out fishing. The amenities include access to fishing gear and snorkeling equipment, but nothing along the lines of heavy electronics in keeping with the environmental guidelines.

Bed linen and extra comforts like blankets are supplied. Bathroom essentials such as towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper are also included in the booking. Clients need to bring their own swimming costumes and swimming towels. As it gets very hot, make sure to pack some sunscreen.

10. Juggler Lake, Minnesota (from USD 399)

Four hours north of Minneapolis lies this charming island in the midst of an entire forest that spans 18 acres (7.28 hectares) with an A-frame styled house right at its center. This island is a superb way to truly soak up all that the American heartland has to offer. The home can host up to eight guests between three bedrooms and has two bathrooms available.

Guests can also explore the forest at their leisure using the various trails. A state park is also in close proximity to the property. The home has three patios attached, a floating dock for diving and swimming and a hefty barbecue grill. Included in the amenities available are high-speed internet access, a full kitchen with two refrigerators and freezers and a jetted tub in the master bedroom.

11. Vesterøy, Østfold, Norway (from USD 240)

This island Airbnb is part of the Hvaler archipelago in the southeastern Norwegian county of Ostfold, halfway between the capital of Oslo and Sweden. The 10,000 square mile (25899.88 sq km) island is home to a cute little red cottage perched right by the shore. This part of the world sees a high amount of sunny days, and the island’s location makes it an ideal place to enjoy them all with a good view of the local bridge in the distance - and makes for some remarkable photographs. The cottage itself is able to host up to five guests, be they a group of friends or a family with two beds available and a travel crib if needed. The Vesterøy cottage is designed for enjoyable stays off the grid, so there’s limited electricity and no television. There’s also no bathroom save for a small privy adjacent to the cottage. Guests staying here do have access to a small boat and landing quay for travel back and forth to the mainland and can use any of the small private beaches found on the island.

Guests should note that conditions are rustic and there is no running water. Drinking water is available from a local grocery store for free. In the cabin, guests will find containers which may be used to collect drinking water. The grocery also has facilities where you may charge your laptop.

13. Caviniti, Philippines (from USD 92)

Three hours outside of the capital city of Manila in the Sierra Madre mountains lies this private island. The island is a serene outpost for those looking for quiet comfort and reflection, and has its own private boat to ferry guests back and forth. It’s off the grid for the most part, so that means there’s no internet access or television. But there is a kitchen available along with electricity from a generator, and enough room to accommodate up to 15 guests between one bedroom and common spaces. There’s a separate dining hall a few feet away from the main home, and an open space perfect for events or just quiet moments to take everything in.

For your entertainment, there’s a firepit where guests enjoy sitting in the evening. Alternatively, why not gather your group in the study area and sit down for an evening of bonding over board games. If you wish, you may even book the premises for a long-term stay.
