Islands With Just One Family
Ellioaey Island, Iceland
A single hunting lodge sits on this remote island, once used by one Icelandic family for puffin hunting and deep solitude.
Just Room Enough Island, USA
Owned by the Sizeland family, this island has just one house and a tree—proving even the tiniest land can be called home.
Otok Susac, Croatia
Only one family lives here to maintain the historic lighthouse. Supplies come by boat; everything else is done by hand.
Linga Island, Scotland
A Scottish family owns this rugged isle and plans to build a self-sustaining home, living fully off-grid with their children.
Tiburon Island, Mexico
Although mostly uninhabited, one Seri family lives here, continuing the tribe’s ancient way of life in total wilderness.
Isola di Budelli, Italy
For decades, Mauro Morandi was the sole inhabitant and caretaker of this pink beach paradise—until he was asked to leave.
Dunbar Rock, Honduras
Though now a boutique resort, it began as a family home built on a rock in the sea—surrounded by nothing but water and coral.
