"Cheap" and "private island." Can those words possibly be used together by anyone whose net worth falls below eight figures? Turns out, you don't need a trust fund or an IPO to make like a pampered castaway; retreats are available around the world for less than you'd pay at a five-star resort. (That's especially true if you're sharing with a handful of friends.) While some offer little more than a beach and a few palm trees, others come with king-size beds and even private chefs.
Southern Escape in Georgia

Eagle Island fulfills the desire to get away without the hassles of going very far. The 10-acre island is located in southern Georgia's salt marsh, where coastal tides provide waters deep enough for the quick boat trip from historic Darien. The recently built Eagle Lodge has a 1,500-square-foot screened-in porch with hot tub and fireplace, and offers rustic luxury to a maximum of 12 guests. You must bring your own food and beverages but fresh crab is included in the rental price. From $400 per night. www.PrivateIslandsofGeorgia.com ~~~~~~
