Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have reportedly bought a $30 million plot of land on a gated Miami island known as the "Billionaire’s Bunker" as they prepare to leave Washington DC.

The pair, who both serve as senior White House advisers, are thought to be preparing to quit the US capital after Donald Trump leaves office next month.

According to the New York Post's gossip section Page Six, Ms Trump and Mr Kushner have bought a plot of land on Indian Creek, a private island which boasts a 13-man police force and an armed marine unit patrolling its perimeter around the clock.

According to the newspaper, the pair have purchased the lot from the Spanish singer and songwriter Julio Iglesias and intend to build a luxury waterfront home on the site.

The sale of the 1.84 acre plot, which includes 200ft of private waterfront, is expected to be completed on December 17. The land is listed for $31.8 million and has annual property taxes of $472,764.

The private island is known as one of the wealthiest and most exclusive in Miami Beach, with past and present residents including Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima, Calvin Klein co-founder Barry Schwartz and Sheik Mohammed al-Fassi of Saudi Arabia.

Its high level security, including a 13-man police force for its 29 residents and its own 24/7 armed marine patrol has earned the private island the nickname "Billionaire's Bunker".

The private island is also just over an hour from Donald Trump's private members club Mar-a-Lago.

Ms Trump and Mr Kushner have spent the last four years renting a $15,000-a-month mansion with their three children in Kalorama. The plush Washington DC neighbourhood is also home to former president Barack Obama and his family.

But with Joe Biden, the Democrat president-elect, moving into the White House on January 20, the couple are now considering their next steps.

“The Kushners have been looking to purchase property in Florida for quite some time, and will also maintain their home in New York,” a source told Page Six.

The couple own an apartment in Manhattan but reports suggest the Kushners may struggle to transition back to New York society given Mr Trump's unpopularity in the city.

The pair are also expanding their cottage on the grounds of Mr Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
