Calivigny Island THE CARIBBEAN

With seriously pomp dining, fabulous all-suite residences and an army of staff at your disposal, Calivigny Island lives up to its reputation as one of the most exclusive and exquisite private islands on the planet. Spread over 80 lush acres, the Grenada island has room for 40 guests to bask in all its palatial glamour; there are two great big sandy beaches and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Over the years, the spot has amassed a loyal following who flock back to its shores for absolute privacy behind the ferns. Exactly 80 hospitality gurus, made up of celebrity fitness trainers, massage therapists, are on hand to pamper, plus nannies and entertainers on request. Of all the grand places to rest your head, Calivigny’s Beach House is the most jaw-dropping. Ten sumptuous suites inspired by French Colonial architecture have been crafted using the finest materials from Europe and South America. With views of the ocean and tropical gardens, the 4,000-sq-ft master suite is supreme. A vision in French cherrywood, its custom-built, Roman-style Jacuzzi room with marble floors and handcrafted sculptures is sheer extravagance. The food at Calivigny is also a delight: French, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, American, Russian and Caribbean-inspired specialties are all crafted with finesse, with ingredients sourced locally and from the island’s organic farm. Burn it all off in the outdoor pools, fitness center, floodlit tennis court, soccer field, basketball court, or biking or jogging trails. Prefer water sports? Water skiing, jet packing and kayaking are all ready and waiting to keep the island dream alive until the fateful day that is checkout. If you do one thing... Staying here means that no request has limits. The entire experience is tailor-made to whatever you desire. If you need inspiration, the resort has put on private concerts, yacht excursions, and firework displays, and has brought local markets and wine and culinary experiences to its glittering shores.
