Fantasy Holiday On Your Own Private Island

The Daily Mail is a British newspaper published every day in London and is the United Kingdom's second-biggest-selling daily newspaper. Online, the Daily Mail’s website receives hundreds of thousands of visits each month and is a popular source for entertainment and lifestyle news in the UK.

Gladden Private Island is featured on a list of reasonably affordable private islands around the world that tourists can rent for a fantasy holiday. Called “a Latin American lovers’ retreat”, Gladden is described as an exquisite private sanctuary, perfect for couples. The article breaks down how to get there, what to expect and the biggest selling point of the island to its UK readers. 

From the article:

Getting there: This trip involves a 20-hour flight (approx £687) from the UK, then a helicopter transfer (included). Gladden is in the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, on the Caribbean coast of northern Central America. It costs £15,645 for two for a week.

What you'll find: An exquisite private sanctuary, perfect for loved-up couples, though there is a second master suite if you want to bring friends along. There is a roof terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows, and the tiny island has palm trees and golden sand.

Star selling point: Staff reside on a smaller island nearby, unobtrusive but ready to respond to requests in a trice. A 'privacy meter' lets rich and famous guests know when a worker visits the island.”
