The magician David Copperfield is the owner of Musha Cay, a string of islands in the Bahamas, available for loan for eye-watering nightly rates. The sandbar picnics, secluded beach houses and the chance to play billiards on Houdini’s old table might just make it worth it.

Seven nights, from about £260,000 exclusive hire for 12 guests (+1 208 309 1106; mushacay.com). Up to 24 guests can be accommodated for an additional charge.
