Nothing quite epitomizes a dream vacation like lounging on a palm tree-laden beach with a drink in hand. So having a private island for the week, sometimes even with a personal cook, is the ultimate off-the-grid getaway. We’ve rounded up a list of private island Airbnbs that make for some serious Instagram envy. Grab those flip flops and get ready for a secluded tropical vacation.
Secluded Island, Waterfront Retreat with Pool - Florida
Little Gasparilla Island is a little bit south of Sarasota, Florida, and is accessible via boat, or the provided passenger ferry when renting the place. The gulf barrier island creates a quiet, calming escape, that’s still not terribly far from major destinations in the sunshine state. Remote paradise can be found without even boarding a plane.
Tayrona National Park Sta Marta - Colombia
Kicking back in a hammock on an open-air deck amongst the Colombian mountains and ocean? Yes, please. The eco abode runs off solar energy and keeps its carbon footprint at a minimum. All in all, this allows one to really appreciate the area. A cook will also be on hand to whip up amazing meals should guests decide to add on food costs.
Private Island Retreat, Floral Island Resort - Philippines
Imagine booking an entire six villa resort for your closest friends and family to enjoy, whether it be for a wedding, reunion, or just for the heck of it. Luxe aesthetics, secluded beaches, romantic dinners and region-specific cuisine are just a few of the amenities. Oh yeah, you can opt for outdoor massages as well. After a private boat rides out to the island, you’ll be met with the most heavenly views.
Belize Private Island, Little Peter Oasis - Belize
Just wait until you see the overwater bungalow light up in ambient LED tones, over the blue lagoon waters. Another Belize beauty, the tucked-away rental is constructed of the most stunning mahogany wood and an eco-friendly thatch roof. Hovering views right over the water are something that just has to be seen to be fully taken in. Meals and impeccable service are included.
Hideaway Caye, Your Own Private Island - Belize
Another win for Belize! Find total separation from the world while enjoying fishing, lobstering, conch hunting, kayaking, swimming—all the amazing outdoor activities. Boardwalk paths wind throughout the mangrove island which is lovingly run by a local family, so prepare to explore, and take some time to drink really good rum punch while in a hammock.
Remote Bungalow - French Polynesia
French Polynesia beckons with its aqua waters, sandy beaches and optimal kayaking territories. Tiputa is a quaint village not far away if you should need anything. But the bungalow is a haven that likely will provide all that one could want or need. Barbecue, swim and just enjoy being away from it all.
