Top international real estate brokerage firms are to now sell private islands near Indian shores. Private Islands Inc, a Toronto-based private island brokerage firm, had put up Palm Lagoon — a four-acre private island in Kollam, Kerala — for sale. Last week, the island was reportedly snapped up for around Rs 3 crore. Then a little further away, in Sri Lanka, Tangalle Isle — another four-acre island — was sold for around Rs 4 crore.

Coldwell Banker, America’s oldest real estate firm, which also deals in private islands, has set up a branch in Mumbai. Though these niche real estate firms were tight lipped about the identities of Indians hunting for private islands in India and abroad, Suketu Mody, president and COO of Coldwell Banker Goodwill Consultants, said: “With the number of ultra high net worth individuals in this country rising, we expect to clinch a few deals soon.”
