What they found was not just a beautiful island. Sazan Island had been completely closed to the public from 1946 to 1991, when Albania’s communist dictator Enver Hoxha converted it into a fortified military outpost. Because no one could enter for five decades, the island accidentally became a preserved ecosystem — dense Mediterranean vegetation, intact marine life, and a sprawling network of tunnels and roughly 3,600 concrete bunkers frozen in time. The accidental consequence of extreme isolation was a pristine environment. That’s exactly what the Kushners are selling. Just as the ultra-wealthy have reshaped other forgotten corners of the Mediterranean, Sazan represents the next frontier of exclusivity.
