Located about 50 kilometers north of Tahiti, Tetiaroa Atoll consists of several small islets surrounded by lagoons and coral reefs with breathtaking scenery. Movie legend Marlon Brando fell in love with this paradise while filming *Mutiny on the Bounty*. He later cooperated with eco-luxury operator Richard Bailey to build The Brando Resort combining ultimate luxury and sustainable development. Different from flashy wealthy retreats, this resort attaches great importance to ecological conservation, protects marine ecosystems and founded the Tetiaroa Society to support marine research and environmental education.
When it comes to Seychelles, people picture palm-fringed beaches and crystal-clear ocean views. The newly opened Waldorf Astoria Platte Island sits on a tiny islet less than one square kilometer, featuring 50 beach villas surrounded by lush greenery. The island has its own private airstrip with regular flights connecting to Mahe Island.
Located in the southeast corner of Siargao Island in the Philippines, Nay Palad Hideaway is not a private island but a secluded dreamy vacation retreat. This boutique luxury resort was created by former Bayern Munich goalkeeper and DEDON founder Bobby Dekeyser together with his daughter Carolin. Designed by award-winning artist Daniel Pouzet, it delivers a relaxing escape blending nature, local culture and premium hospitality service.
Stretching just 5.5 kilometers of coastline, Alphonse Island is a world-famous paradise for fly fishing and saltwater angling, home to abundant bonefish, triggerfish, barracuda and groupers. The biggest highlight of this private island is its digital detox vibe with barely any internet access. Guests can fully put down electronic devices and slow down to enjoy peaceful island life.
