The private island resort category — one island, one hotel, complete exclusivity of the natural environment — represents the apex of UHNW travel. These properties charge between €8,000 and €80,000 per night precisely because they offer what no urban hotel can: absolute privacy, untouched natural environment, and the experience of owning an island without the permanent obligations of ownership. The private jet is not optional for reaching most of them — it is the only access method consistent with the experience.
North Island, Seychelles: The Reference Private Island
North Island (the hotel, not to be confused with the island itself) is consistently cited as the world's finest private island resort. Eleven villas on a 201-hectare island in the inner Seychelles granitic group, each villa with a private beach and private pool. The island is enrolled in an active conservation programme (giant Aldabra tortoises, hawksbill sea turtles, Seychelles magpie-robins have been reintroduced) that gives guests direct interaction with conservation outcomes.
Access: scheduled flight from Abu Dhabi, Paris, or London to Mahé (Seychelles International Airport, SEZ), then private charter seaplane or helicopter to North Island (30 minutes from Mahé). FFGR Jets structures the routing from European departure to North Island with the Mahé–North Island charter integrated into the overall programme. North Island rates from €6,500/villa/night; the full island buyout (11 villas) for family or corporate groups is approximately €75,000/night.
Marlon Brando's Tetiaroa, French Polynesia
Tetiaroa — the atoll in French Polynesia that Marlon Brando purchased in 1966 after filming Mutiny on the Bounty — is now home to The Brando resort, the most remote UHNW property in the Pacific. 35 villas on a pristine atoll with 12 motus (islets) and a lagoon of extraordinary clarity. The Brando operates on 100% renewable energy (deep seawater air conditioning, solar and coconut oil biofuel).
Access: commercial flight from Paris to Papeete (Tahiti) — 18 hours — then The Brando's private 20-seat aircraft (ATR 42) for the 60km crossing to Tetiaroa's airstrip. The private aircraft is included in all guest rates. For clients using a private jet to French Polynesia, Faa'a International Airport (PPT) in Papeete handles ultra-long-range jets arriving directly from Los Angeles (8h30) or from Paris via Los Angeles. The Brando from €5,000/villa/night.
Necker Island: Richard Branson's Caribbean
Necker Island — Richard Branson's 74-acre private island in the British Virgin Islands — is the most famous private island in the world. 30 guests maximum in the Great House (Balinese architecture, open plan), with beach houses on the surrounding beaches. The island can only be booked as a whole (not individual villas) for approximately 26 rooms, meaning the full island buyout is the only option.
Access: private jet from the US East Coast or Europe to Beef Island Airport (EIS) in the British Virgin Islands (Tortola), then private boat transfer (10 minutes) or helicopter to Necker. The BVI airport handles up to midsize jets; super-midsize and heavy jets fly to St. Thomas (STT) or San Juan (SJU) and the group transfers by private charter seaplane or helicopter. FFGR Jets designs the full routing based on group origin.
Calivigny Island, Grenada and the Caribbean Circuit
Calivigny Island — 80 acres off the south coast of Grenada — is the most exclusive private island in the Caribbean, accommodating a maximum of 36 guests across 14 bedrooms. The full island buyout (the only booking option) is priced from €60,000/night, making it the highest-priced per-night accommodation in the Caribbean. The island includes 3 pools, 5 beaches, a spa, and a helipad — the entire Grenadian spice island experience in a private setting.
Grenada Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) accepts private jets including heavy category aircraft. Transfer to Calivigny by private boat (15 minutes from Port Louis Marina) or helicopter (5 minutes). The Caribbean private island circuit — combining Mustique, Calivigny, Jumby Bay (Antigua), and Parrot Cay (Turks & Caicos) — can be built as a multi-destination 10-14 day private jet itinerary. FFGR Jets designs these Caribbean circuits with full inter-island routing and FBO logistics at each stop.
