Gladden Private Island, Belize
On this island paradise in the glittering turquoise sea of the Caribbean, the staff keep a respectful distance – in fact, they live ‘abroad’ but can be with you in mere minutes to supply anything you could want.
Bighorn, Revelstoke BC
Bold statements abound at the pinnacle of the travel world where 360 Private Travel operates.

The purest of powdery snow is waiting for you…
Castello di Procopio, Umbria
In the intense sunshine of an Umbrian summer, what could be cooler than a historic hilltop castle all to yourself and your family or friends? Certainly, literally nothing could be cooler than being inside its stony sanctum, in one of its eight majestic bedrooms, for that essential mid-afternoon snooze. Or, if you have boundless energy, working off yet another most delicious lunch in its private swimming pool.
Joali, Maldives
The Maldives has been a premier destination for so long that, dare we say it, indifference can set in. Some say there’s not enough to do and that the simple ‘paradise island’ factor is on their been-there/done-that lists. We think, though, Joali goes so far to delight and intrigue you’re bound to adore it; especially if you love to surround yourself with contemporary art.
Shinta Mani Wild, Cambodia
Trust Bill Bensley to spot an exceptionally beautiful and somewhat neglected corner of the planet, and turn it into something worthwhile. This time, though, the world-renowned resort designer is aiming to infuse his idiosyncratic brand of relaxed luxury with increased responsibility for the environment, and meaningful local employment.
Awasi Iguazu, Argentina
The Iguazu Falls are one of the New 7 Natural Wonders of the world. For many visitors, this is just a photo-snapping day trip. The relatively new Awasi Iguazu is hoping to change that. Stay in one of their gorgeous 14 villas, built on stilts in the thick of the jungle, giving total immersion in this pristine rainforest, allowing you the time to experience the falls as well as the huge diversity of wildlife and culture that the Misiones region has to offer – all.. with a little help from your personal guide.
