Some of Our Favorite Exclusive Resorts

1. LUX* South Ari Atoll, The Maldives

The Maldives is a top luxury tourism destination due to its secluded location, stunning natural beauty, incredible beaches, and year-round comfortable climate.

LUX* South Ari Atoll is one of the top resorts on the island, and for good reason. From the beaches, diving, and snorkeling among whale sharks and manta rays to the spas, restaurants, and private pools, there are activities for everyone. The overwater bungalows and beach villas make this LUX* resort an exceptional and exclusive beach resort.

2. The Ritz Paris

Experience a luxury resort destination within one of the world’s most beloved cities. The world-class service, atmosphere, and amenities at the Ritz Paris are second to none. Add in the many close-by attractions, like the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden, and many more, and it has something special to offer everyone.

Thanks to the world’s only Chanel spa located on its grounds, the Ritz Paris stands out as an exclusive spa resort. With an award-winning, Michelin-starred restaurant, opulent and historical décor, impeccable service, and much more, the Riz Paris delivers an incredible location in a bustling, culture-rich city and a luxury escape, all in one package.

3. Jumby Bay Island, Antigua

There are several exclusive Caribbean resorts worth considering, but it’s difficult to get more exclusive than a private island.

Jumby Bay Island, part of Antigua, is accessible only by boat, with no motorized vehicle traffic. The resort is incredibly tranquil and secluded, offering incredible beaches and natural beauty along with activities, excursions, a spa, fine dining, luxury accommodations, and impeccable service.

4. Lizard Island Resort, Queensland, Australia

Offering a pristine and secluded natural setting on the Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island Resort offers direct access to one of the great natural wonders of the world.

Conde Nast Traveler readers named it the No. 1 luxury resort in the South Pacific region due to its incredible location, seclusion, range of activities (snorkeling at the reef, incredible hikes, and more), and many luxury amenities.

Lizard Island Resort offers an incredibly private experience among incredible natural beauty, with food, service, and more that truly live up to the concept of luxury.
