Second Life

Perhaps you have an idea for a huge project which you want to realize, and you just need a lot of open space to build. Maybe you and a group of friends and colleagues are looking for a gathering place which can expand as your community grows. Or maybe you have visions of a world under your own control, where you add land with each increase of your population.

Imagine your own island getaway in Second Life!

Example Islands
Island 1	Island 2
Island 3	Island 4

Choose from six different topologies depending on your needs.
Or, if you like, you can send us your own terrain file to create your own specialized island.
Islands can be grouped, or joined together to create a contiguous space, so you can add to your land mass as your community and projects grow!
You're free to choose your own name, and your own rating (PG or Mature).
You can limit access to your island, or welcome the whole Second Life community – it's up to you!
Find out more about private islands in the Island FAQ in the Second Life Wiki.

Pricing

Islands are priced at US$1,000 for 65,536 square meters (about 16 acres). Monthly land fees for maintenance are US$295.

Financial Arrangements

Your island may be setup the day you order it or it may take up to two weeks for setup (for actual delivery times please contact the Linden Concierge). To ensure that your Island purchase goes smoothly please make any financial arrangements you need to before you place your order. The island set up fee (as described above) will be billed the same day the island order is received. The island set up fee will first bill against any US$ credit in your account and then the payment source in your account (Paypal or Credit Card). If you use Paypal you may need to adjust your monthly billing allowance with Paypal to allow the order to go through (this can be done at the Paypal site in your account page). If you use a credit card you may need to notify your credit card provider of the upcoming purchase.

You may also pay by wire transfer. To obtain information on wire transfer, please read the information and fill out the form on the page Wire Transfer Information.

Important note regarding Educational and Non-profit pricing:

If Linden Lab determines at any time, at its sole discretion, that an island is not being used for educational or non-profit purposes, either in part or in whole, Linden Lab reserves the right to cancel all related billing agreements and accounts, and/or bill retroactively for past usage at standard rates. Please contact billing through the support portal with any questions regarding this policy BEFORE submitting an island order.
