Gouldian Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Billionaires are said to be vying to snap up the luxury retreat hidden in the Great Barrier Reef off Australia’s east coast. Daydream Island has been hailed as one of the finest holiday getaways on the planet and boasts a 296-room four-and-a-half star hotel and spa with private golden beaches. The rainforest complements the world’s largest man-made coral reef lagoon known as The Living Reef. Daydream Island is also a mecca for sailing enthusiasts and has an outdoor aquarium containing 80 types of sea life and 50 sorts of coral. Budding buyers have been flaunting their interest in snapping up the island and enjoying the snorkelling, sail-boarding, jet-skiing, parasailing, coral viewing and scuba diving. Vaughan Bullivant, who is selling the isle, said: “I’m 65 now and looking to at some stage put my feet up and enjoy doing other things in life, including more travel and spending time with my family.” Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4919815/Dream-island-for-sale-and-yours-for-just-75million.html#ixzz2SlgzIoX2 Hope the buyer is a conservationist.
