For anyone in search of a summer vacation without the crowds, there’s a private island paradise — 3,700 miles from the nearest continent — in search of renters with money to burn.

Adrift in the Pacific Ocean more than 600 miles from already remote Tahiti, the French Polynesian island of Nukutepipi is on offer for slightly over $967,000 a week, The Post can exclusively report. 

The well-manicured, 3.47-square-mile atoll, which reportedly boasts no mosquitoes or other creepy crawlies, is owned by Canadian billionaire and Cirque du Soleil co-founder Guy Laliberté.

Billy Rose of The Agency holds the listing, which has previously sought approximately $1.1 million a week and can be accessed by taking a private chartered flight from Tahiti, where island hoppers can connect with year-round commercial service from Los Angeles, Seattle, Honolulu, Paris, Tokyo and Auckland.

Laliberté purchased Nukutepipi in 2007, following a lengthy property search in French Polynesia. The former fire-eater spent the subsequent decade developing it into its current form, Robb Report previously reported.

In addition to offering fabulous weather and an extreme amount of physical distance from most of humanity, Nukutepipi offers the amenities of a top-shelf resort, including 13 air conditioned, Wi-Fi-equipped bungalows, two junior villas and one primary villa with an indoor lounge, movie theater and an indoor kitchen bar.

Nukutepipi can accommodate up to 50 guests at a time, according to the island’s website, which advertises the destination as a dream location for weddings and corporate retreats, among other uses.

As for entertainment, a variety of land and sea activities are available to guests, ranging from whale watching (from July to November), reef fishing and snorkeling to hermit crab races, pickleball and “bee therapy,” according to press materials, which also promise that Nukutepipi is “mosquito, sand flea and rodent free.” 

There are also multiple infinity pools, a mini golf course, tennis court, yoga studio, a centrally located beach bar, gym, spa and infirmary, and “state-of-the-art” observatory and music studio.
