Rating: 4.9
The leading resort is an expensive resort, where accommodation will cost from one hundred thousand dollars per day. The island near Ibiza, washed by the Mediterranean Sea, has everything you need for an unforgettable experience. The richest people in the world flock here every year.
It took the owner ten years to equip the site, giving it the look it now has. For this, the best architects and designers were involved, a huge amount of material resources and a lot of work were invested. The result was worth it – the resort was great. There are golf courses, tennis courts, pools with cascades, yacht marinas where you can leave your boat or rent a local boat for boat trips along the coast.

Necker island
Rating: 4.9
Another private expensive resort, this time owned by the millionaire Branson, gets the second line. The place is located in the Virgin Islands, and the total area, bought by Richard, is thirty hectares. Constant employment pushed him to rent villas, which were originally built for personal use.
The richest people come to Necker to merge with tropical nature, find harmony, and take a break from the eternal bustle. Here you can endlessly admire the diversity of flora and fauna, and this is not surprising, because the island is located in the Caribbean Sea. There is an airport nearby, on the neighboring island of Tortola, which is half an hour away by boat. The resort is ready to accommodate up to twenty-six guests at the same time. Six comfortable villas are available for living, and five beaches for swimming and sunbathing. Luxurious apartments are designed in Indonesian style. It is worth considering that while the owner is relaxing here alone or with his family, Necker is closed for visits.
In addition to the beauty of coral reefs and sandy beaches, there are tennis courts, two helipads, beauty salons and spa, yacht parking, a huge outdoor pool, bar and much more. You can go surfing and diving at the resort. The food is especially good here. Any cuisines of the world are available for ordering, and the dishes are prepared by the best chefs in the world. The table will be set and served in any place chosen by the guest. A day in this piece of paradise will cost no less than twenty-five thousand dollars.

Guests are ready to receive a hotel with luxurious apartments. There is everything for recreation here – golf, restaurants, shops, spa salons, fitness centers, a modern hospital, etc. People who choose a leisurely and measured rest in the bosom of nature prefer to stay here.

The seventh position is taken by a resort that can truly give peace and tranquility. A small island from the first seconds will plunge guests into the world of unique nature. The maximum number of residents cannot exceed twelve people. This allows you to create an environment in which everyone can feel alone. All villas are distant from each other, so there is no possibility of crossing with neighbors.
You can only get to the resort by yacht or water plane. We advise you to choose an air trip to enjoy the view from the top of the Maldives. Not so long ago, a decade ago, the island was one of the top three holiday destinations, but now there are many more luxurious competitors. Despite this, Rania is consistently among the top ten.
The island, hidden in the Indian Ocean, is designed for a quiet and measured holiday. The beach here starts right from the threshold of the house.

That there is only one 'Blue Lagoon' with clear crystal clear waters. The villas are located on the coastline. The houses have thatched roofs and look more like cozy bungalows than luxurious villas. Those who prefer a more luxurious vacation can check into modern cottages.
San Pedro, Belize
Rating: 4.5
The eleventh position is occupied by another island resort in the Caribbean. He, like many in the ranking, is privately owned. There are many deserted beaches that allow you to enjoy the privacy that many residents of megacities lack. The number of residents cannot exceed fourteen people. To prevent neighbors from interfering with each other, the villas are distant from each other. A feature of the resort is the ability to rent the entire island for relatively little money. In this case, the cost per day will be ten thousand dollars. For normal accommodation, you will have to pay from one and a half thousand dollars.
Each visitor is given a personal assistant and is offered several cottages to choose from. Surfing enthusiasts often come here as it is sunny most of the year and the waters are ideal for this sport. If you come to the island with your family, then go to the city, where you can find a lot of entertainment. There are also favorable conditions for diving here – the reef wall is as close to the surface as possible. Those who prefer extreme sports will be offered drift diving (swimming in currents). Of the sights worth noting Shark-Ray-Elley, 'Coral Gardens', Hol-Chan marine reserve.
Hawaii, USA
Rating: 4.5
The famous and expensive American resort becomes the twelfth. Every traveler dreams of visiting Hawaii, even despite a long twenty-hour flight with transfers. After landing, a royal welcome awaits the tourist on the spot, after which you can relax. It will appeal to both those who love outdoor activities and those who are waiting for silence. You can enjoy peace on deserted beaches, where no one bothers to look at the ocean and listen to the surf of the waves.
Hawaiian islands in the Pacific Ocean differ from each other, but all are comfortable, have hotels, developed infrastructure, so anyone can choose. The archipelago is famous for its dense tropics, frozen paths of volcanic lava, beautiful gardens full of amazing plants and flowers. Guests will love mountain gorges, waterfalls and fast-flowing rivers. The most active volcano in the world, Kilauea, is still active in Hawaii.
The luxurious resort destination of entertainment offers a variety of sports both on water and on land; excursion excursions (on foot and by transport); services of masseurs, spa treatments, bars and more. A day's rest will amount to one thousand two hundred dollars.
Fregate Island, Seychelles
Rating: 4.5
Closes the rating of an island resort in the Indian Ocean. You can only get here by helicopter or yacht from the capital Mahe. The area is private. There are many stunning beaches with white sand and azure waters. The area is also rich in wild jungle full of exotic animals, birds and plants. The expensive resort offers tourists an uncountable number of restaurants, a panoramic swimming pool, spas, clubs, bars and much more. Of the sights, Mount Sinegal, located in the center of the island, should be noted. Treasure hunters often come to the Fregat, because according to legend, many centuries ago, pirates hid treasures here. Indeed, tourists have repeatedly found maps, antiques that once belonged to corsairs.
Despite such a variety and local beauty, a day's rest per person will cost from eight hundred dollars, and this, in comparison with the leaders of the rating, is acceptable money. Guests are offered check-in at one of the sixteen well-appointed villas. For relatively little money, a vacationer receives three meals a day, accommodation, drinks, water sports, a golf car. We recommend the island for family fun. The resort is ready to accommodate up to forty people at a time.
The flora and fauna of the island is the main wealth, thanks to which errors can be forgiven in the form of a not very developed tourist infrastructure. Over forty species of birds nest here, for example, frigate, tern, coconut turtledove, Dutch pigeon, etc. Giant turtles walk right along the coast, attracting everyone's attention. Mango trees, citrus fruits, avocados, banana plantations, bamboo fields – all of this can be tasted. The island annually becomes a venue for eco-projects aimed at protecting wildlife. We recommend visiting the 'Fregat' for all lovers of colorful landscapes and outlandish animals.
