Wakaya Club, Fiji
It’s here at Wakaya Island you will find true peace and freedom. You won’t find technology – in fact, your technology won’t even work here. You won’t find thousands of tourists milling about. What you will find, however, is your own private 1,500 square foot cottage – there are only 10 on the island and they’re not close together – with all natural features such as lava rock showers and Tibetan rugs. Each day you can head to your own private beach with a bottle of champagne and a picnic brunch courtesy of your driver, who will pick you up when you radio in again. The island is one of the most beautiful in the world, and it’s one of the most private.
