The private paradise that costs £40,000 a NIGHT: Inside the world's most expensive holiday resort where the super-rich get away from it all

The economy may be just about on the road to recovery, but it will take a little more than that before most of us can afford just one night in this exclusive holiday retreat in the Caribbean.

Billed as 'one of the world's most luxurious holiday resorts for the rich and famous,' it costs a staggering £40,000 a night for the entire 10-suite island.

With the average wage in the UK standing at £26,200, and a week on Calivigny island totalling more than £280,000, this resort is something most folk can only dream of.

Even Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island is more within most people's financial reach. Relatively. The Virgin boss's Caribbean island is a bargain £26,600 a night if you rent the whole atoll, or just £17,100 a week if you book a villa.

So what can the rich and famous expect for their dollar at the exclusive Calivigny retreat? Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, the 81-acre private island, located just off of Grenada, boasts postcard views - and a price to match.Surrounded by serene tropical seas and golden sandy beaches, the island caters for billionaire moguls and 20 friends - who will each have their own extravagant secluded villa.
