Aspirational travel at it's finest.
Aspirational travel at it's finest.
A true hotel is not simply where you sleep—it is the stage upon which your journey unfolds. Here, we collect the rare sanctuaries of the world: a ryokan where silence has weight, a villa where the sea is the only soundtrack, a city tower where glass and steel hold the pulse of a metropolis at bay.
Every property is chosen not just for five stars, but for the stories it whispers—private courtyards, champagne sunsets, the kind of service that anticipates you before you arrive. Think of this hub as your compass: from island hideaways to mountaintop retreats, each stay is less accommodation than immersion.
This is not travel for the casual. This is a passport to the extraordinary—a curated atlas of comfort, craft, and character.
The Best Luxury Tahiti Resorts
Tahiti isn’t a destination—it’s a daydream turned tangible. The air hums with tiare blossoms, the lagoons shift from sapphire to jade in the span of a breath, and time itself seems to recline in a hammock.
Here, luxury resorts aren’t built—they’re floated, perched, and draped into the land as though they’ve always belonged. Overwater bungalows stretch like strings of pearls across the sea, each with a trapdoor to the reef below and a sky so wide it feels like theater. Champagne breakfasts arrive by canoe; evenings dissolve into firelit Polynesian rhythms.
This is not the South Pacific of postcards. This is a rarified corner where privacy wears a crown of frangipani, and the horizon is yours alone.
The most luxurious Private Island resorts in the world.
Seychelles, Maldives, Fiji… There are escapes, and then there are vanishings. A private island resort isn’t booked—it’s whispered into your life like a secret you were meant to discover. Here, the world doesn’t just fall away; it surrenders.
Your morning begins barefoot, salt still in your hair from last night’s swim beneath a ceiling of constellations. The staff—never hurried, always invisible until the exact moment you need them—appear with coffee, fresh papaya, and the news that today’s agenda includes nothing you don’t choose.
Villas are strung along beaches that belong solely to you. Coral gardens pulse just offshore. Champagne sunsets arrive without an audience, save the sea turtles.
This is not a vacation—it is sovereignty, wrapped in turquoise and silence.
French Polynesia’s most exclusive private island.
🌺 Nukutepipi – The Billionaire’s Hideaway
Some islands whisper. Nukutepipi doesn’t bother—it vanishes you into another dimension. Part Eden, part Bond lair, part barefoot fantasy, this speck of French Polynesia belongs not to the world but to a vision: Guy Laliberté’s, the founder of Cirque du Soleil, who spun his fortune into a private utopia.
Here, you don’t check in—you inherit the silence of a kingdom. Twenty-one villas and bungalows scattered across a turquoise atoll. A cinema tucked beneath the palms. A telescope observatory for those who find starlight as intoxicating as champagne. The sand—white, the sea—impossibly blue, and the staff—like conjurers who appear with ceviche, kayaks, or a guitar just as you were about to think of them.
It is not a hotel. It is not even a resort. It is a living dream, available only to those willing to rent the entire island, unlocking not just exclusivity, but sovereignty.
Nukutepipi: where the map ends and imagination takes the throne.
5 Luxury Private Island Resorts
…and the finest Bonvoy property in the world.
Possibly the most exotic islands, off the coast of Africa across vast swaths of the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles overflow with primal beauty. It’s not the easiest place to get to but we’ve been there a few times and can help you make this trip one you will remember forever.
The 15 Finest Maldivian Resorts
…all with VIP upgrades and exclusive amenity packages.
You will never see more shades of blue than in the Maldives and your dreams will never be the same after you have visited once. Having stayed at over half a dozen Maldivian resorts you won’t find much land. I recommend picking at least 2 resorts for a 1 week trip, even three resorts for a longer trip. With seaplane transfers, getting there is really hard the fun!
