Villa del Lago at Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como

Villa Firefly, St. Barths
Officially known as Saint Barthélemy, this French sovereign state offers a classic Caribbean experience with its green hills, beautiful beaches and laid-back locals. The tropical island is scattered with luxury hotels, but if you want to experience this paradise in total privacy, then we recommend renting an exclusive holiday home like Villa Firefly.
Perched on a hillside with jaw-dropping sea views, this chic seven-bedroom villa is perfect for larger groups of family and friends. Guests can relax by an extra-long outdoor pool with its own bar area, while the stylish interior includes a top-of-the-range kitchen where a private chef whips up bespoke meals. All of the bedrooms are en-suite and are divided between the main villa and a separate bungalow.

Ocean Villa at Amanpuri, Phuket
Set on its own peninsula overlooking the Andaman Sea, Aman’s first-ever luxury hotel remains one of Thailand’s most exclusive retreats. There are no rooms or suites at Amanpuri – instead, guests stay in standalone pavilions and private villas on the hillside or beachfront.
Perhaps the most extravagant of them all is the nine-bedroom Ocean Villa, a stunning Thai-style residence built around a pool and private terrace on a private headland. This grand holiday home is ideal for larger parties, with spacious indoor and outdoor living spaces and the services of a dedicated private chef.

Vomo Island, Fiji
Why stop at a private villa when you can rent an entire island? Vomo is a 225-acre resort in the South Pacific with space for up to 100 guests, but you can book out the whole place to enjoy exclusive use of its golden beaches, pristine coral reefs, infinity pools, tennis courts, gym and nine-hole golf course.
The luxury starts the second your plane touches down at Fiji’s Nadi Airport, where a chauffeur-driven car, followed by a private speedboat, will whisk you to the island. During your stay, a team of chefs, butlers, personal trainers and yoga instructors will be on hand as you lounge by the pool, scuba dive and picnic on a nearby desert island. Between May and July, you can also witness baby turtles hatching on the beach.

Milaidhoo, Maldives

Surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and warm, crystal-clear waters in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is an intimate, barefoot-chic resort with a difference, where every element of your stay can be personalised according to your preferences.
For the ultimate privacy, book one of two stunning beach residences, each set over its own private stretch of beach with its own pool, outdoor cinema, dedicated butler and personal chef. The resort can also arrange an array of bespoke experiences, from catching your dinner with a Maldivian fisherman to experiencing authentic life on a local island.
