Private Island Resorts

Want to feel like Robinson Crusoe and his Girl Friday? A private island resort just might be the answer.

These resorts are located on an island that contains nothing else other than the resort. No check-in desk. No everyday life to interfere with the romantic mood. No traffic. No realities to interrupt your fantasy. Just the two of you, a handful of other guests (and some private island resorts are set up so you never see another guest), and a few days of blissful privacy.

Private island resorts don't come cheap but they do offer a one-of-a-kind getaway, a chance to truly be pampered for a few precious days.

You'll find amenities at these resorts that would be impossible at a traditional resort: a private chef to come to your villa for your room order, your own private pool, radio communication to keep in touch with your butler, you name it. It's your chance to live the life of the rich and famous for a few days.

Private islands getaways include:

• Belize's Cayo Espanto
• Bahamas' Musha Cay
• the British Virgin Island's Necker Island
• St. Vincent's Petit St. Vincent
• and others.
