Delana Hilltop Estate, Laucala Island Resort, Fiji
Starting rate: $55,000 per night
If exclusivity tops your list of getaway priorities, then the Delana Hilltop Estate – on the private Fijian island of Laucala – demands immediate consideration. Perched high up on on a hill – looking down on a dramatic swath of verdant palms and far-reaching coconut groves, with a panoramic view of the impossibly turquoise South Sea and the resort’s private white sand beach – the three-piece thatch-roofed residence (check it: there’s a main house and two guest houses) reigns over the lush rainforest locale. Indoor spaces are posh, capitalizing on sea breeze and natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows, dark wood and stone floors, and cozy hanging cocoon chairs. Outside, a tiki torch-lit infinity edge pool is lined with umbrella-shaded sun loungers. Guaranteeing that you won’t have to lift a finger the entire time is also a personal chef, chauffeur, and nanny.
