IMAGINE listening to the sound of waves crashing, with the sun beating down on your face as you lie back in the golden sand.
It may sound all like an idyllic holiday but it could also be your new home.
For the same price as a one-bedroom flat in East Oxford you could get a private island in the Philippines.
For £250,000 you could trade in your flat on Cowley Road for the Samung Island, which is less than 125 miles east of Manilla.

The island has white sand beaches, green hills with coconut trees and is 98.84 acres.

The island lies in the path of the northwest trade winds ensuring a mild ocean climate. The monsoon season takes place from September to January.
If you want to trade in The Bullingdon and and The Cowley Retreat for crystal clear waters and palm trees, Private Islands Online is the gateway to your new home.
