A truly special vacation environment that surpasses most destinations in terms of privacy, luxury, and beautiful natural surroundings can be found in several exclusive private island locations that exist around the world.
The Brando is a resort located on the private island of Teti’aroa in French Polynesia. Secluded villa accommodations surround a lagoon, a natural sanctuary for birds and marine life. Each villa has its own private plunge pool and direct access to the beach. Spa services include wellness programs and traditional Polynesian massage techniques. The resort’s strong commitment to the environment has earned it a platinum award by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Association.
Another resort that stresses sustainability and stewardship of its natural environment is the Bawah Reserve, located in the Anambas Archipelago in Indonesia. The resort encompasses 6 islands, 13 beaches and 3 lagoons and is home to dense rainforest, coral reefs and pristine white sand beaches. Accommodations in suites, bungalows and villas offer their signature canopy beds and panoramic vistas of the surrounding jungle or sunny beaches.
The Caribbean’s answer to private island luxury is The Como, Parrot Cay on Turks and Caicos. This opulent resort is well-known for its outstanding spa facility, the Shambhala Retreat. Treatment pavilions here overlook the North Caicos Channel, and spa facilities also include a yoga pavilion, a Pilates studio and a jacuzzi garden. Holistic wellness is stressed and relaxation techniques and preventative health programs are available.
The Six Senses, Zil Pasyon is located in the Seychelles archipelago on Felicite Island, uninhabited except for the resort. A choice of accommodations include small oceanfront villas or secluded rainforest hideaways, and five treatment venues offer a variety of peaceful surroundings. The Island Cafe (one of two restaurants on the island) offers Six Senses Healthy Eating meal choices which vary each day and are so delicious you forget you’re “eating healthy!”
