Private islands

The 5 most beautiful rental islands worldwide

Far away from everyday life, surrounded by azure waters, white sandy beaches and palm trees: islands are the epitome of vacation, rest and relaxation. And at the same time, they offer endless privacy. Some of the most beautiful resorts can also be booked exclusively. Robinson Crusoe feeling with a maximum of luxury - that's what you get on these five islands for rent, for example:


Thanda Island, Tanzania

The exclusive private island off the coast of Tanzania offers space for up to 18 people in a gleaming white New England-style villa. Light-flooded suites, a huge outdoor glass pool, sports and leisure facilities and an adventure land for accompanying children are just a few of the amenities that Thanda Island offers. In addition, there is impeccable service from the island team and a clear conscience. The entire island is powered by solar energy and the owners are committed to sustainable tourism. With a bit of luck, guests can swim with whale sharks.

Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi Resort, Maldives

32,000 square meters, three buildings and a maximum of 24 guests: the new Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi Resort makes social distancing a breeze. Guests stay in an overwater villa, a three-bedroom beach villa or a four-bedroom residence. Of course, each accommodation has its own infinity pool and is equipped with everything you would expect from a luxury vacation in the Maldives - including staff. A meditation and yoga pavilion and a gym are available for communal use. The island in South Male Atoll can be reached by seaplane (15 min.) or one of the resort's six yachts (40 min.)

Gladden Island, Belize

Only two to four guests stay on the island off Belize at any one time. Their temporary home is a luxurious villa with pools, rooftop lounge and outstanding service. The staff sleep on a neighboring island and are on call around the clock. Off the island, one of the longest coral reefs in the world invites you to snorkel with whale sharks, clownfish and more. The island team tailors every stay 100% to the wishes of the guests and also organizes excursions to the mainland, spa treatments, special menus and dinners anywhere on the island. www.gladdenprivateisland.com


The Brando, French Polynesia

From Tahiti, a 20-minute flight separates guests from the exclusive private island of Tetiaroa. It is home to the legendary The Brando, the resort that eight of Marlon Brando's 16 children were involved in building. The island is home to 35 villas and an ecological research station dedicated to environmental protection and sustainability. Even large travel groups can be comfortably accommodated here and can indulge in absolute luxury.
