Retreating to a secluded island affords a type of holiday experience that is incomparable to what most other destinations can offer. Combining contemporary conveniences with the essence of seclusion in a paradisiacal setting can be truly enchanting.
LVH offers stays on luxury private islands where complete liberation and indulgence are the sole items on your itinerary. A vacation on a private island presents numerous opportunities for experiences that will invigorate, revitalize, and foster a profound connection with nature and oneself.
Look at what we think would provide untold memories for you and your guests while you stay at any of these three luxurious islands: Velaa in the Indian Ocean, Necker Island, and Over Yonder Cay in the Caribbean.
NECKER ISLAND
The British Virgin Islands is home to glorious Necker Island. This 74-acre paradise sits in tepid turquoise waters surrounded by coral reefs and powder-white shores.
Land and Water Activities
Watersports are included in every stay, and a team of highly qualified instructors can help you master kitesurfing, sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and subwinging. Whether you want to try something new, enjoy adrenaline-fueled fun, or explore the waters more serenely, it's all available to do in a safe and controlled environment with hands-on help where needed. Snorkeling and diving can also be put on the agenda, and your stay comes with all the equipment you need for snorkeling. If you’re not PADI-certified to dive, we can arrange for instructors so you can get up close to wreck reefs and go for night dives.
If you would like to spend some time out of the sea, there are several things to do on land. Find your inner joy with a custom yoga class led by a trained instructor, or grab a mat and freestyle on the beach. Play tennis with a resident tennis pro or go hiking. Several trails take you around the coast or over the main ridge. You can also get your daily workout in a gym with lush views.
Day Trips
We can arrange trips to the Baths at Virgin Gorda or visit Anegada Island, which has 17 miles of beach and is home to the third-largest barrier reef in the world! We can also arrange a customized cruise to tour nearby islands, with snorkeling and beach bar stops.
OVER YONDER ISLAND
A jewel amongst the Bahamian Islands is the exclusive Over Yonder Cay. The private island includes four individually designed villas with fifteen luxury bedrooms, accommodating up to thirty guests. The impressive residences are superbly designed and offer numerous amenities, including a fully equipped cinema room, game room, and gym. Enjoy the captivating island in the breathtaking outdoor pool and massage area.
For a more active day, you can enjoy the superb golf course, the state-of-the-art tennis court, the beautiful beach volleyball court, and even the Jet ski if you are adventurous. The island also includes a private boat dock for easy transportation to and from the island, and the marina and clubhouse are also at your disposal. The exclusive Over Yonder Island is sure to impress all who visit.
VELAA ISLAND
Velaa Island provides ultimate seclusion in harmony with the environment and the sedate Maldivian way of life for the most sumptuous Maldives escape. This retreat’s name means Turtle Island in the local language and is named after generations of sea turtles flocking here to nest and hatch. The island also ensures plenty of room for its marine visitors, with a hatchery and conservation plan in place. There are beach villas, residences, and water villas to accommodate up to 80 guests.
Land and Water Activities
If you must have access to some of the newest hi-tech toys for the water, Velaa will not disappoint. You can try activities like flyboarding, hoverboarding, electric foil surfing, and the latest tandem renovator. There are also several tables for children and families to enjoy together. There is never a shortage of things to do.
You can try snapping the big one while deep-sea fishing or snorkeling around a pristine coral reef. Hop on an authentic Maldivian Batheli boat for a cruise or enjoy a lavish lunch on a deserted island, followed by watching dolphins frolicking at sunset. Sports and fitness facilities include a covered tennis court, a squash court, a climbing wall, a state-of-the-art ‘Technogym’ and even a football pitch. Personal yoga and meditation sessions are held in the elevated yoga pavilion, a private garden, or a beach. If you’re an avid golfer, Velaa Golf Academy is a unique golfing experience offering one-on-one lessons with PGA professionals.
Velaa’s Secret World
The untouched Noonu atoll has numerous exotic dive sites featuring shark cleaning stations, dramatic swim-throughs, and elusive Eagle Rays. A dedicated marine biology team oversees the development of the Maldives' most extensive coral restoration program. You can arrange an immersive tour of the coral garden and discover the fascinating hidden gems within the house reef. A well-equipped dive shop offers PADI certification from beginner to dive master levels and a range of Scubapro equipment.
