Privacy guaranteed: from private pools & villas, to private dining on a private island

Secluded holidays have really come into their own; it’s easy to understand the appeal of an away-from-the-crowds escape, where privacy is guaranteed. Travel to your own private holiday bolthole, where just the two of you, just your family, or just your closest friends, can bubble together.

Travel within your bubble to warmer climates and stunning scenery.  On arrival, check into to the privacy of your exclusive-use villa, or your own swim up room or suite. Enjoy a dip in your private pool, and delight in private in-room dining, or dine al fresco, beneath the stars, on the beach. And to see more of your new surroundings book a private escorted tour. It’s easy to understand the appeal of a perfectly secluded holiday with privacy guaranteed. In these imperfect times, it’s the perfect way to travel.

Private pools

Our hotels with private pools and terrace plunge pools significantly enhance the quality of your holiday. There’s always time for a dip – morning, noon and night – when the pool is just a dropped bathrobe away. Top up your tan and offset your holiday over-indulgence at a moment’s notice.  Children can splash around, and dip in and out, to their heart’s content knowing every comfort is to hand.

Private Islands

Each hotel is its own private island in the Maldives.  These jewel like atolls are the ultimate in barefoot luxury and seclusion. Villas and bungalows give all the space you could ever need, whether on the beach or over water, and house reefs offer an unrivalled view into the tropical colours of life underwater. Not quite a private island, but in an alluringly remote corner of Oman, Six Senses Zighy Bay is accessible by boat or paraglider. An enchanting retreat on Pemba Island off Zanzibar, Fundu Lagoon offers barefoot luxury with a castaway feeling. Providing utter seclusion on a beach-front setting, the lagoon is only accessible by boat.
