Those looking to host an incredible 'Friendsgiving' this year can now do so affordably thanks to Hotels.com newest promotion, the Friendsgiving Island. The package lets you and five friends book an entire private island with a chef for $50 a night, per person.
The seven-night stay starts on November 14th until the 21 and includes everything you could need for a luxury getaway. The 5,000-square-foot vacation home features 3 beds and 2 bathrooms with a veranda, kayaks, paddleboards, a boat dock, and a helicopter launch pad.
"We’ve been inspired by how people have adapted their travel plans throughout the pandemic, taking trips
closer to home and staying at our vacation rental properties," said Josh Belkin, vice president, global brand
Hotels.com. "Spending time with family and friends over the holidays may look a little different this year,
which is why Hotels.com is letting you reserve an entire private island to keep those yearly traditions like
Friendsgiving."
The incredible Friendsgiving Island is available on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 10 a.m. ET.
