Bikini Caye, a 0.39-acre private island along the Belize Barrier Reef, is on the market for $600,000.
A private island in the Caribbean, Bikini Caye, is available for purchase for $600,000, a price point less than the average cost of a flat in London. The 0.39-acre island is situated along the Belize Barrier Reef and offers undeveloped land with dense pine vegetation.
The island's high and dry ground is described as providing a stable foundation suitable for development, such as an eco-villa or a fishing lodge. It is located a nine to 12-mile boat ride from Dangriga, a coastal town also known as the 'Culture Capital of Belize'.
Bikini Caye is positioned near the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, a protected area spanning 17,875 acres that is known for its fishing and snorkeling opportunities. The surrounding waters offer access to coral reefs and flats for activities like bonefishing and tarpon hunting.
The mainland town of Dangriga, formerly Stann Creek Town, has a population of nearly 10,000 residents and features shopping centers, convenience stores, eateries, and an airport. A boat trip to Dangriga takes approximately 45 minutes. From Dangriga, residents can access medical supplies, healthcare, and air travel.
Bikini Caye is also accessible to other nearby islands such as Thatch Caye, Coco Plum Caye, and Tobacco Caye. Property sales in London over the past year averaged around £513,624 for flats, according to Rightmove data.
