GRAND PALM SUITE ONE&ONLY THE PALM, DUBAI

One&Only The Palm is the largest One&Only resort in the world, yet feels surprisingly intimate. Right in the middle of the resort you’ll find the Manor House, and the Grand Palm Suite occupies the top floor so the views of Jumeirah Beach and the Dubai skyline are far-reaching. There’s no better way to take in the Arabian Gulf than from the suite’s outdoor terrace with majlis - style seating and private sun deck. Inside, the one-bedroom, 2,691-sq-ft suite is Arabian opulence at its best with Moorish archways, carved wooden features and glimmering lanterns. A private host is available at every hour of the day to ensure you have everything you need. From $1,905 per night.

ST. REGIS VI LLA THE ST. REGIS MAURITIUS, MAURITIUS At 17,900 sq ft, the St. Regis Villa is the largest private accommodation in Mauritius, and with inside–outside design and facades sliding away to reveal gorgeous ocean views, it’s the ultimate in barefoot luxury. All four of the spacious suites within the villa open out onto a private timber deck equipped with individual plunge pools, comfy sun loungers and direct access to the dreamy 470-ft beach. We love the unbelievably close proximity to the aquamarine ocean — it is just a few sandy steps away. The villa is perfect for groups as it can accommodate up to eight adults and four children, and the St. Regis butlers are on hand to keep the little ones entertained. From $3,855 per night.

HI LLTOP ESTATE LAUCALA ISLAND, FIJI Set on a private island in Fiji, the Hilltop Estate at Laucala Island is an enormous, secluded wonderland. Perched on top of one of the private island’s highest points, the panoramic views showcase the diverse archipelago in all its glory. With a huge main residence plus two very spacious guest residences and a large swimming pool surrounded by pretty gardens and trickling streams, it’s the best choice for group trips, especially as the villa comes with a private cook, chauffer and nanny. Be sure to visit the water sports center where you’ll find a fleet of 14 boats; take to the turquoise seas for game fishing or a sunset cruise, or get to know Fiji’s marine life by scuba diving or snorkeling — look out for hawksbill turtles. From $45,000 per night, island buyout from $170,000 per night. Contact Paula Vatunicoko, head concierge, reservations@laucala.com, +679 888 0077, laucala.com
