Inside the world's most expensive Airbnb - and it's owned by David Copperfield

If you've ever fancied living in David Copperfield's home for the night and paying the equivalent of a decent house deposit for the pleasure, then you're in luck.

Located in the southern Bahamas pristine Exuma Cay islands, Musha Cay is arguably the most luxurious private island in the world.

It is a completely unspoiled tropical environment with sweeping stretches of flowers of flowers and swaying palms which seem to wave hello sun seekers.

The island can now be hired through Airbnb, for £48,765 a night, according to S Money.

You’ll have five homes to divvy up between 16 friends, and a staff of 30 including a butler, gardener and boatman.

Whether entertainment is provided by the island’s owner, David Copperfield, is not specified.

"Zoom out to sea on your own speedboat. Take to the turquoise water on paddle boards. Play a match of tennis." the Airbnb advert tempts.

"For lazy days, relax in the dreamy beachside daybed. Revitalize in the steam room after a long afternoon massage.

"For something special, hop on the 28ft. Nautilus Rib Catamaran."

The central and biggest home on the island is an expansive 10,000 sq. foot mansion on a hill perched above the sea.

If you get tired of lying down in its luxurious sheets, then an equally appointed 5-bedroom home just across the way, or a charming guest villa, may offer some welcome relief.

Each home on the island is stylized with a mixture of "English colonial style architecture and laid back tropical flair."

"Bright punches of colour combine with stately finishes, like elegant crown mouldings and high ceilings," the ad continues.

"Expansive terraces made with handcrafted mahogany wood that look out to statuesque palms mark the seamless transition of outdoor and indoor living."

In the activity centre on the island there is a large dining room where all dozen and a half guests can sit down to a champagne soaked evening.

Afterwards refreshments can be taken at the staffed bar before guests retire to the lounge to smoke a whopping cigar or to the billiard room to pot some balls and chat business.

As one might expect from an island smack bang in the middle of the Bahamas, the weather is quite stunning most of the year.

During the day this is best experienced via a paddle around the island home through the brilliant tropical waters.

Outdoor showers, four hot tubs, hammocks, a massage room and a barbecue are there to help you kick back after indulging in some of the islands activities.

They include a Nautilus Rib Catamaran, a jet boat, jet skis, a number of different sailboats and three top of the line Bombardier Sea Doos.

In the warm evenings when the sunsets, the viewing dock offers an excellent vantage point to take in the views.
