- The island features a newly-built 500 square metre mansion which is linked to its own personal boat dock

A tiny tropical island in the South Pacific featuring its own mansion and white sandy beaches has gone on sale for £1.2 million.
The 2.6 acre Castaway Island is almost 10,000 miles away from London and features a 500 square metre mansion, offering unbelievable views of the South Pacific.
Castaway Island is just south of Vanuatu, although flights to the area, which is 1,200 miles east of Brisbane, can take more than 50 hours, with numerous stops required along the way.
A 2.6 acre private island in the South Pacific featuring crystal clear blue water and white sandy beaches is on sale for £1.2m
Castaway Island is just south of Vanuatu, but far enough away from the mainland to keep it free from mosquitoes
The newly-built property features solid wood floors and vaulted high ceilings to make the most of the tropical climate
According to the sales agent, the island's location is perfect as it is far enough away from Vanuatu that it does not suffer from mosquitoes.
A spokesman for Private Islands Inc said: 'It’s everybody’s dream to have their own private tropical island – however few people can make the dream into reality. The reality is that it is easy to buy the island – then the challenge begins. Here the challenge has been met and won and the result is a truly magnificent, unique property. From the moment you arrive at the landing at Castaway Island you can see that everything has been constructed to exacting standards.' 'Whichever window you look from in this beautiful new home you can see the brilliant hues of the surrounding tropical waters. Wherever you walk, you see the tropical blues of the water and white sand or live coral surrounding the island – look further and you see other islands that give you a good feeling of not being too isolated yet at the same time having perfect privacy in your own neighbourless space.'
The house features hardwood floors as well as high ceilings and open plan livings spaces.
The property even features indoor and outdoor showers.
As well as a lack of mosquitoes, the island is free from snakes, biting insects or wild animals.
Castaway Island is part of the chain of islands of Vanuatu and is around 1,200 miles further east than Australia
Access to the house is from a boat dock, pictured, which links directly to the property using a wooden walkway
Due to its tropical location, much of the house is open to the elements to make the most of the tropical weather
The sales agents said the house has been completed to the highest possible standards
The bedrooms have easy access to the decking outside making it very easy to go for an early morning dip in the ocean
The covered boat deck allows the new owner to sit in the shade while overlooking the ocean
Residents can enjoy a breakfast on a centre counter in the kitchen if they are bored of looking at a tropical ocean paradise
Much of the island is bounded by white sandy beaches with living coral reefs just off the shore
Despite being a tropical island, Castaway is only about nine miles from an international airport - as the crow flies
If there weather isn't to your liking, the house features a luxury living room area
The house is surrounded by trees and a hectare of manicured lawns according to the sales agent
Luckily, Castaway is surrounded by several other larger islands protecting it from the worst winter storms
According to the sales agent, the property is ready to move into and just requires the new owner to bring their clothes
When you have your own private island, you don't have to be up at the crack of dawn to get a sun lounger - unless you want to see dawn break and then you have front row seats to the start of the new day before turning around for the sunset
