When it comes to private islands, Fregate Island in the Seychelles is a leader in conservation. As we dream of travel and start to step back into the world, we’re seeking ultimate wilderness escapes, for those who like a bit of pampering and seclusion. You can book a room or rent entire private islands for that castaway feeling of untouched nature with comfortable, design-forward interiors, the freshest local cuisine, and a sustainable connection to the surrounding areas.
Both in the United States and around the world, here are 18 private islands you can stay on, either entirely to yourself or as part of an exclusive hotel or resort.

Following a two-year closure, Richard Branson s Necker Island is officially back and better than ever.
After Hurricane Irma devastated the island in 2017, Necker required rebuilding, and while the pandemic sealed the borders of the British Virgin Islands, Branson s team got to work on the restorations and final touches.
Now, upon the reopening of the BVI in December 2020, a refreshed Necker Island is ready to welcome guests with new ultra-luxe accommodation options.
The brand-new Bali Hi complex has an extended pool and outdoor lounges, plus private pools in the individual Bali villas that are ideal for indulging in unlimited pool time while maintaining complete privacy. The Great House, perched atop the highest point on the island to provide sweeping views of the Caribbean and Atlantic as well as neighboring islands, received two additional guest rooms.
