The Best Resorts on private islands
If what you want is utter seclusion and perfect peace, in a location off-limits to everyone but the resort staff and a few other guests, then a private island is the only place to go. Here are our favourites from around the world.
About 160 miles south-west of Manila in the Calamian archipelago, Ariara has a curving, palm-fringed beach, a sea so clear that in the pale turquoise waters you can see right through to the sandy bottom, a slightly mysterious, jungly centre for the adventurous to hike through and, shimmering away in the distance, yet more sand-rimmed and forested islands to explore. Take the island in its entirety: with its large thatched central sitting and dining areas, four beach cottages and two villas (all of which have been designed by Jorge Yulo, a hot Filipino architect), it can house up to 18 people. There are 35 staff who give their pampered guests the time of their lives.
