If even that’s not secluded enough, go the whole hog and be king or queen of your very own paradise isle. Perhaps the most famous is Necker, the British Virgin Island owned by tycoon Richard Branson, where up to 30 guests are lavished by a dedicated staff of 100.
Or find similar luxury outposts elsewhere in the Caribbean or Indian Ocean, including North Island in the Seychelles (where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honeymooned).
Or enjoy exclusivity without the jetlag by staying closer to home and choosing Tagomago or Isla Sa Ferradura, both in Ibiza. With a concierge and an army of staff offering massages, beach barbecues or private excursions, you can choose to be entertained or indulged, or just spend your days doing lazy laps of the infinity pool.
Either way, you’re guaranteed to forget your every care.
