Liliane Bettencourt is a French heiress, socialite, businesswoman and philanthropist. She is one of the principal shareholders of L'Oréal and, with a fortune estimated at US$23.5 billion, is one of the wealthiest people in the world.

Bettencourt sold her private island, D'arros, in 2012 for $60M USD. Her purchase of D'Arros was revealed in 2010, when media reports claimed she had not declared the purchase to French authorities and was using the island as a tax haven.

D'Arros Island

Iranian Prince Sharam Private Island

The most spectacular of these Indian Ocean sales was to a member of the family of the Shah of Iran, who bought a coconut plantation island named Arros along with the neighboring atoll of St. Joseph in the Amirantes group.

The Iranian Prince Sharam built an elaborate house there, along with a
landing strip, conveniently within executive-jet range of Teheran. It was to become a valuable hideaway when the imperial family's fortunes collapsed in 1979, and it has since been a productive source of income: When the prince is not in residence, the island is rented out for millionaire holidays at five thousand dollars a night.]]>

North Island, Seychelles

By: DonMartini
@ 2007-04-08 16:04:18
North Island Lodge is a rare sanctuary for guests seeking a gorgeous, unspoiled tropical haven on a large and private island.

All the structures at North Island Lodge have been individually handcrafted to give it a unique atmosphere and the distinct flavour of the Seychelles.

The main areas and all the villas are built directly on the eastern beach: a lounge, dining room and library, beautifully located health spa and gym, world-class dive centre, and a beautiful swimming pool - all built into a granitic outcrop. A sunset bar is tucked away on the western beach of the island.

Most of the activities on the island are included in the tariff, but yacht charters, deep-sea fishing, golf on Praslin, in-villa massage and spa therapy are available at an additional cost.]]>
