Epstein’s private island, commonly known as Epstein Island but officially called Little Saint James, is roughly 70–78 acres in size, which is about 28–32 hectares or 0.11–0.12 square miles. Many recent reports round this to about 72 acres when describing the property in news coverage.

Basic size facts

  • Little Saint James covers about 70–78 acres (≈28–32 hectares).
  • In more everyday terms, that is roughly:
    • About 55–60 American football fields of land area.
    • Around 0.3 square kilometers in total.

Where it is

  • The island lies in the Caribbean Sea, southeast of the larger island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
  • It is about two miles off the coast of St. Thomas and was reachable mainly by private boat or helicopter.

Island features

  • The property has multiple villas, a main residence, a pool, various smaller buildings and statues spread over the island’s limited area.
  • Despite the small overall size, the terrain is hilly, so buildings and roads are terraced along the slopes rather than laid out on a flat plain.

Context and “latest news”

  • Little Saint James became infamous because of the crimes linked to Jeffrey Epstein, who owned it from the late 1990s until his death in 2019.
  • In recent years, coverage has focused on investigations, document releases, and plans by its current owner to convert this and the nearby Great Saint James into a luxury resort, which keeps “Epstein Island” a recurring trending topic.
