It’s why the celebrities do it; to get away from their bustling city lives, you should be no different.

Cayo Espantos, located off the Caribbean sea coast, is one of the 450 islands of the Belize Barrier Reef. It’s amongst one of the most famous private resorts, and there are many reasons why. If your aim is for ultimate privacy and attentive 5-star service at your doorstep, then this is the place for you. It’s an incredibly small island of only 4 acres, which is part of its charm, for there are no bustling cars or people to be seen here. This makes it an ideal destination for those looking for their perfect romantic honeymoons and meditative getaways. Additionally, they provide helicopter transfer. The entire island (of 7 villas, including one water bungalow) is rentable, a truly indulgent experience for those looking to host events of the utmost privacy.

The Hayman Islands is located north off the coast of Central Queensland, Australia, and is known for its uber-luxurious resort. It was built in the 1950s and is now one of the pinnacle tourism spots in the heart of the Great Barrier reef. Upon arrival, the entire experience aims to give you the most lavish affair; you can choose to arrive by helicopter, luxury vessel, or a private charter. They have an impressive collection of 168 suites decked out with a calming, sleek interior and a fantastic variety of activities. So, if you’re looking to have a substantial variety of things to do, then the Intercontinental at the Hayman Islands may be what you’re looking for.
After all, this is the Great Barrier Reef, so just a step away is one of the world’s most impeccable snorkeling (or diving) experiences. For those looking for a more relaxing activity, a massage in a cabana tucked away within the Hayman rainforest, or a walk along the clearest of waters is equally offered. Additionally, they have a stunning set of amenities, complete with tennis courts, game rooms, and salons. You may be secluded from the rest of the world, but everything you need has already been thought of!
Fregate is known for its secluded Oetkers collection luxury resort. It’s a small, 2,000-kilometer island in Seychelles with a tiny population of 200 people. Impressively, funds from the lodge go towards an environmental program that aims to restore and protect significant natural habitats and rare species. It features 16 private villas, and although currently being developed, this is one to watch.
Because of its extensive aim to interlace museums and plantation houses and being an animal sanctuary, Fregate Island reminds us of the power that comes with developing a beautiful luxury resort; the impactful changes one can make. Not only this, but it offers excellent restaurants with jaw-dropping views, an invigorating spa and gym, and of course, one of the most important aspects in all private resorts, extreme privacy.
So, if you’re looking for a grounding, educational experience alongside equally beautiful and indulgent expertise, keep your eyes open for when their doors open in 2024.
