If you really, truly want to get away from the world, forget about the off-the-grid Airbnb rentals and semi-secluded hotels, and vacation or sabbatical on your very own private island. The Cheval Blanc Randheli Private Island is the ultimate in money-is-no-object retreats. Located in the collection of islands that form the Noonu Atoll in the Maldives, the Cheval Blanc Randheli—the latest build from LVMH—is widely rated a gold list resort, and that’s just the main portion, not the private island. Everything you ever dreamed about in regard to owning your own island is a possibility at this resort. Private indoor and outdoor dining rooms with a dedicated chef. An entire collection of suites filled with fine crafts, bespoke furniture and unique pieces of art for you and your special someone, friends and/or family. Private spa right on the water. Outdoor showers. Multiple living areas. Eighty-foot outdoor swimming pool. Tropical gardens. Private beaches. And, of course, plenty of tailor-made activities, excursions and culinary adventures. This is a bucket list stay for sure.
