It's not often you escape for a week or two and get the chance to fully disconnect from daily life. A typical vacation can help you decompress and enjoy a few days in the sun, but mundane demands and responsibilities are never too far away. To truly disengage, sometimes you have to leave your everyday world and step into a completely different one. This is exactly the feeling you get upon arriving at Necker Island, the 74-acre private Caribbean island paradise and home of Sir Richard Branson.

Being castaway on a tropical island brings to mind images of rustic shacks and basic services that are far away from the luxuries of the modern world. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience of returning to a more primitive way of living, but you wouldn’t necessarily want to stay there forever. Calivigny Island turns this idea of the castaway experience on its head. An 80-acre private island with the amenities of a world-class resort, Calivigny rivals and even surpasses the palatial grandeur of the most royal, stately abodes. Every inch of the tiny secluded islet is designed to redefine the experience of being stranded on a deserted island.

Imagine being secluded on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 6000km from the closest continent, world’s away from the media, and where all you need is a bathing suit, sunglasses, and a strong sense of exploration. Until recently, such a possibility was reserved entirely for the big screen and midday daydreams. But thanks to Guy Laliberté, the man behind Cirque du Soleil, who has opened up his private island nirvana to welcome discerning guests, it is now a full-blown reality.

Even on a luxury vacation, it can be difficult to escape the demands of everyday life and venture into wild lands without coming across signs of civilization.

We may be dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic for many years to come, and there are very few options for going on vacation and celebrating with our friends and family while maintaining utmost safety.

With a huge rise in people seeking private and exclusive experiences, luxury yacht charters are one of the hottest and fastest growing travel trends of 2021.

Saint Barthelemy - the French-speaking Caribbean island known as St. Barths - is renowned the world over as the vacation destination of choice for A-list celebrities, royal families, and super-rich tycoons. While it’s not uncommon to see well-known faces lapping up the sweet sunshine in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Barbados, or the Bahamas, St. Barths offers something a little different. Most celebrities look to escape the ever-watching public eye by opting for an ultra-private destination, hence going to the Caribbean’s remote cays and private islands. St. Barths, however, is a place to see and be seen, where the world’s glitterati feel comfortable enough to relax, let their hair down, and party like us regular mortals.
