It may not have palm trees or tiki torches, but – if you're in the market for a private island – you should probably check out Flakfortet, some 3.5 miles off the coast of lovely Copenhagen.
An artificial island constructed in 1915 as a naval base to protect the city during World War I, Flakfortet is a protected landmark and was in use until 1968.
A restaurant was added to the 330,000 sq ft island and draws around 20,000 people a year. Bingo! It basically pays for itself!
Not only would you (conceivably) gain access to the perks of Denmark's robust welfare state, you could also have fun exploring the 1km network of underground tunnels.
Have friends visiting? Have them park their yacht in the marina.
For just £5.5 million (56 million Danish Krone or USD $8.5 million), Flakfortet could be yours!
