Bahamas

When David Copperfield creates private island resort, than you know it has to be magical. And indeed it is. Of course that Musha Cay hides its illusionist secrets that await for you to discover them. Underground passage that leads to a secret village or a Copperfield-written pirate treasure hunt, well it’s up to you, we can’t reveal all and spoil the fun. What we can say is that the entire island of Musha Cay is reserved for just one group of up to 24 guests at a time. Or just the two of you. Surely it’s one of the most secluded spots on earth, yet everything you want is provided on this 700 acres of lush natural beauty.

Philippines

With more than 7000 islands in the Philippines we had to choose two. The first one is the remarkable Amanpulo, set on its own private island in the Sulu Sea. Surrounded by white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a coral reef three hundred metres from the shore, Amanpulo is the epitome of rustic chic and this remote island is the prefect escape from the real world. The second on our list is the Dedon Island, the most magnificent of all barefoot luxury escapes. This is the home of special design and one of the few places in the Philippines were you can surf on the famous Cloud 9. With just nine villas Dedon Island is village like and is located between mangrove forests and white-sanded beaches met by crystal clear waters. Dedon has the philosophy of the Outdoor Living Lab, enjoying the outdoor life, to that they added a special design by Daniel Pouzet that has became a landmark of the island as well as the pure enjoyment.

New Zealand

Overlooking New Zealand's Bay of Islands, with more than 144 islands to explore, we start our journey in the magnificent Eagle’s Nest, the ultimate boutique retreat, encompassing 75-acres of sub-tropical native bush with secluded beaches. Five ultra-contemporary, individually designed villas with spectacular views are beyond compare. Gaze at the stars through the telescope, pamper yourself with a massage, have dinner created by the resident chef in the luxury and comfort of your villa. And above all, relax and enjoy the spectacular view of beautiful New Zealand.

Indonesia

Just 50 miles from busy Singapore lies Nikoi Island ringed with white sandy beaches and coral reefs of spectacular colour and diversity. The coastline is studded with magnificent white granite boulders that seemingly defy gravity. This is the paradise place to discover the beautiful nature of Indonesia and to try watersports such as island hopping, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling, and diving. Our second choice is the „peaceful forest” or Amanwana, a wilderness hideaway and eco-initiative on the nature reserve of Moyo Island. Set under a canopy of tropical forest, your hideout will be one of the 20 luxurious air-conditioned tents. Amanwana is a truly special place that revives the spirit. Located at the far end of the camp, a few metres from the shoreline, the Music Pavilion is a forest sanctuary that sings how this unique this place is. But our recommendation goes to Amanikan, the camp’s 32-metre coastal cruiser which hosts adventures to Rinca and Komodo islands where the legendary Komodo dragons can be seen. This is the additional adventure we think it’s worth your time.
