There is no greater expression of luxury than an entire island to oneself. VIPMAKKI opens the door to the world's most exclusive private islands — from fully-staffed Caribbean hideaways with private airstrips to untouched atolls in the Seychelles, from overwater villa islands in the Maldives to temperate wilderness retreats in the South Pacific. Complete solitude, absolute discretion, and every need anticipated before it arises.

From the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, each island in the VIPMAKKI portfolio represents the absolute pinnacle of private luxury. Fully staffed, completely private, and utterly unforgettable.
The Caribbean remains the epicentre of private island luxury. Mustique, the legendary private island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, offers villas with full staff, private beaches, and an atmosphere of unfailing discretion. Musha Cay in the Bahamas' Exumas, David Copperfield's private island resort, accommodates up to 24 guests across five houses with a staff of 30. Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, Sir Richard Branson's famed retreat, offers three distinct private islands including Moskito Island with its striking cliffside villas.
The Maldives offers perhaps the purest private island experience on earth — single-resort islands where the line between resort and private island blurs into irrelevance. Velaa Private Island features a golf academy by José María Olazábal, a wine tower with one of the Indian Ocean's finest collections, and the only Clarins spa in the Maldives. Cheval Blanc Randheli offers 46 villas across a constellation of islands, with Guerlain spa treatments in overwater pavilions.
Beyond the Maldives, the Seychelles archipelago offers a different register of island luxury. North Island, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honeymooned, features just eleven villas on an island of granitic beauty. Fregate Island Private, a sanctuary for rare species including the Seychelles magpie-robin, offers sixteen villas across a mountainous private island. In Mauritius, the One&Only Le Saint Géran offers Indian Ocean luxury with a distinctive Creole warmth.
The South Pacific offers private island experiences of mythic beauty. The Brando in French Polynesia, on Marlon Brando's former private atoll of Tetiaroa, combines environmental innovation with exquisite villas. Laucala Island in Fiji features 25 villas across 3,200 acres with an organic farm, a fleet of boats, a submarine, and airstrip access. The Cook Islands' private island resorts of Aitutaki offer the most crystalline lagoon waters on earth.
The Mediterranean offers private island experiences rooted in millennia of history. Isola di Loreto on Lake Iseo in Italy features a neo-Gothic castle surrounded by water. In Greece, the Ionian Sea private islands offer classical beauty with modern luxury. Croatia's Dalmatian Coast features private island villas accessible only by yacht. Off Sardinia, the Maddalena Archipelago offers rentals within one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful marine reserves.
