Who needs a superyacht when you can cruise in style on your own floating island for just $5 million? With space for 15, this solar-powered gem offers a BBQ area, a sun deck with a jacuzzi, and an underwater deck equipped with a theater and spa.


Why buy a yacht when you can own an island for less? In 2012, entrepreneur Gábor Orsós introduced the Orsos Islands, a luxurious yet affordable concept. Unlike a yacht, whose appeal depends on location, this floating paradise offers a permanent or holiday home with breathtaking views, all at a fraction of the cost of a traditional yacht.


The Orsos floating island brings the allure of a billionaire’s superyacht living for just a few million dollars. It features six luxury double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, tropical showers, vacuum toilets, and accommodations for four staff members.


Its $6 million price tag includes a sun deck with loungers, a BBQ area, a Jacuzzi, and a bar with cozy seating for up to 15 people. Your island home would also house plenty of toys and tenders for diving, exploring, or provisioning.

For celebrations, the main deck offers a spacious living room and lounge with an exotic aquarium, regulated lighting, and air supply. The underwater lower deck is dedicated to entertainment with a theater, karaoke bar, and health spas. This area also includes a large main kitchen with pantry facilities and refrigeration units.


The Orsos Islands were meticulously designed with sustainability in mind. They feature 1,722 square feet of solar panels, along with wind and water turbine systems. The design team even developed a system to store waste in compressed, chilled compartments to eliminate odors and bacteria until disposal. This commitment to sustainability makes the Orsos Islands a responsible and forward-thinking choice for luxury living.

In the past, similar concepts like The Kokomo Ailand—a vessel you can steer but not drive away—were introduced by the pioneering Migaloo Private Submersible Yacht. Even Abu Dhabi unveiled the $3.5 billion Ramhan Island project, which includes 1,800 beach villas, 1,000 residences, a hotel, and a stunning marina. Yet, the Orsos Islands remain an untapped opportunity for those seeking a unique blend of luxury and innovation.
