Let's face it, we've all dreamed about escaping to a private island, but very few of us actually get the chance to do so. But that isn't true for couple Aleksi Hautamäkia and Milla Selkimäk.

After finding a Finnish island on Google Maps, they set about building a vacation retreat like no other. Now rented out for around €1,800 (£1.5k/$1.9k) a night and with another island retreat added to their portfolio, their inspiring creations will make you want to turn fantasy into reality. Click or scroll to discover the story behind this dreamy island hideaway...
