The Best Resorts on Private Islands for an Ultra-Exclusive Getaway

 

For many, true relaxation looks like dropping off the map—settling down on a secluded, sparsely populated island where no one knows anything about you, save for your favorite tropical cocktail. The very best private island resorts balance downtime and adventure; personal space and hospitality; rugged, natural beauty and state-of-the-art facilities. Scattered across the turquoise waters, some of these properties are wonderfully far-flung, while others, don’t even require a US passport.


Offering everything from fresh meals tailored to your preferences to bespoke spa treatments, these resorts are built on the idea that it’s all for you.

Hotel Spotlight

Nashville, Tennessee

 

Conrad Nashville

 

In an age of kitsch, there’s something compelling about a straight-up traditional luxury hotel, with no artifice and no gimmicks—just gleaming floors and welcoming staff. The extra-high ceilings, sweeping staircase, and horseshoe-shaped motor entrance combine to make the Conrad Nashville’s lobby feel like a sleek, big-city hotel where you rush in to drop off your packages from a day of shopping before running out to the theater. While Conrad guests, of course, are doing all the Music City things, from honky-tonk hopping to book shopping, the vibe is more refined than many of the other Nashville hotel options. This is perhaps the loveliest hotel lobby in the city to sit and people-watch over a glass of whatever you prefer. Don't forget to take a look at the art throughout the hotel. The artists behind the works are local, and a book in each guest room gives insight into the thought behind the pieces.
