Hide away in your very own overwater bungalow in the Maldives. Immerse yourself in the elegance of one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious villas. Alternatively, reconnect with nature on a jungle island off the coast of Madagascar. There is an island that fulfills every traveler’s dream. From the ultimate birthday celebration to a multi-generational get-together or a couple’s retreat, a Pacific Private Island vacation is perfect for just about any occasion. We have handpicked the best private island resorts around the world.
Nanuku Resort, Fiji
His 2-hour scenic drive from Nadi brings you to Nanuku Resort, a beachfront oasis perched on his 500-acre private estate in Pacific Harbour. Part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group, this acclaimed resort is stunning from every angle.
13 newly opened one- and two-bedroom villas and large one- to six-bedroom beachfront residences and luxury suites. Cliff-top feasts, private picnics on the beach and bespoke menus atop the trees are just a few of the culinary options.
For those who want to have a lasting positive impact on Fiji, Nanuku offers the Batiwai Project which includes various sustainable initiatives such as coral planting, coral reef protection, mangrove planting and coastal protection. .
The Brand, French Polynesia
Less than a year later, the brand has gone big on the breathtaking private island of Tetiaroa, an atoll of 12 small islands surrounded by crystal-clear waters just 30 miles northeast of Tahiti. A luxury 5-star resort that opened with much fanfare. It opened ten years ago.
As you can imagine, the island and resort are associated with Marlon Brando. Once a vacation spot for Tahitian royalty, the atoll was purchased by a legendary actor and served as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood for many years.
The resort features his 35 beautiful private villas decorated in his 1970s Hollywood style, as well as his tranquil day spa and his three excellent restaurants. This is no ordinary resort.
Le Meridien Ile de Pins, New Caledonia
Less than three hours flight from Brisbane and Sydney, New Caledonia is widely known as one of the jewels of the South Pacific. Of the 140 emerald green islands, Koh Pang, known for its tall pines and crystal clear waters, is perhaps the most prized.
Tucked away on the island’s pristine northeast coast, Le Méridien Ile de Pins is an idyllic base from which to explore all that the island has to offer, and of course plenty of time to relax by the infinity pool.
All rooms are tastefully decorated in a Parisian zesty light and bright style. However, I would like to check in the beach bungalow and the bay bungalow. A short walk from each of these beaches opens the warm, clear waters of Oro Bay.
Fiji, Vomo Island.
Just 15 minutes by helicopter or 45 minutes by boat from Denarau, Vomo Island is an architectural masterpiece surrounded by long sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and sparkling turquoise waters.
Consistently ranked among Fiji’s best luxury hotels, it deserves all the accolades.
Whether you’re checking into a beachfront villa or a private residence with a personal butler, the same care and attention to detail is in the design. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the newly opened five-bedroom Reef House Residence.
Outside the guest rooms are The Leaf Restaurant and The Rocks Restaurant, helmed by Australian Chef Ian Todd, the latter for adults only.
Motu Nao Nao, French Polynesia
Just 1.5 km from Raiatea, also known as the Sacred Island, is Motunaonao, one of French Polynesia’s newest and most attractive luxury resorts. Only 6 guests and one of the most exclusive rooms.
Three luxurious two-person villas set on 74 acres of lush grounds, staffed 24 hours a day to coordinate bespoke experiences, offering a barefoot castaway feel with plenty of luxury (I don’t want a companion named “Wilson”).
