Behind closed doors, the most coveted corners of luxury travel are getting busier. 

Entire hotels, resorts and islands are being reserved for families, friends and multigenerational groups spanning households and continents. The appeal isn't in escaping from one another, but in having somewhere solely their own – to gather freely, retreat at will, and never encounter another guest. 

It points to a subtle but significant distinction. Solitude is about being alone. Privacy is about choosing who gets to come with you.

The greatest luxury may not lie simply in solitude, but sovereignty. 

A private buyout offers something even the finest suite cannot: the temporary sense that an entire place exists for you and the people you've chosen to bring into it. 

Perhaps that is what makes this growing appetite so revealing. At the highest reaches of luxury travel, the ultimate privilege is a corner of the world that's utterly your own.

Your helicopter. Your schedule. Your island. That’s the luxury of flying private. 🚁🌴

NIGHT DIVE 🏝️🏝️
Calm Conditions: Most night dives take place in or near Chole Bay (within the Mafia Island Marine Park). The sheltered nature of the bay keeps waters relatively calm, making navigation smooth and low-stress.

Uma ilha que não aparece em nenhum mapa turístico.
Thanda Island foi lançada em 2016 por Dan e Christin Olofsson e rapidamente se tornou referência mundial em exclusividade. Agora, sob a gestão Jumeirah, elevou o padrão ainda mais.

São 5 hectares cercados pela Reserva Marinha Shungimbili — a ilha habitada mais próxima fica a 20 km. A villa principal tem 5 suítes com acesso direto à piscina infinita. Duas bandas tradicionais oferecem mais 4 quartos. Chef, equipe dedicada, piloto-barman, atividades aquáticas ilimitadas.

Uma ilha. Um grupo. Uma experiência que não se repete.

@thandaisland isn’t merely a place to retreat to for some solitude, though there is plenty of that. Your daily itinerary can be as full or as pared back as you desire, and with an activities menu that could wrap around the island twice, you’re unlikely to hear “I’m bored” from the kids — including the grown-up ones.

The chartered helicopter ride on arrival provides a bird’s-eye view of just how much there is to explore when an entire island is yours. From the moment you arrive, you can move between the water and dry land almost entirely on a whim: diving or snorkelling in the surrounding marine reserve, sailing, fishing, watersports, tennis, beach cinemas or finding somewhere scenic to do very little at all.

The best part is, no small talk with other tourists, no queuing for the sailboat and meals on your schedule.

This Suite of the Month is available to book on SuiteCollection.com

Whaleshark
One of the best and most consistent locations in the world for swimming alongside whale sharks. Known locally as Papa Shilingi ("coin shark," referring to their spot pattern), these gentle giants aggregate in the shallow, plankton-rich waters off Kilindoni on the island's western coast.

Every dot, line and pattern unique to every individual.
‘Papa Potwe’ celebrated everyday here in this corner of the Indian Ocean. We are privileged to share the water with this incredible and residential shark population.

Thanks to research efforts from @marinemegafauna @wwftanzania @tafiritanzania @watonettanzania , Mafia Island is an established IUCN Important Shark & Ray Area. @iucntanzania

A private island is just a bit bigger than a suite - 20 acres in this case. But its size is only one reason why @thandaisland has been selected as our Suite of the Month.

Thirty kilometres off Tanzania’s coast, Thanda Private Island is booked exclusively for your group. The five-suite beachfront villa forms the main residence, with two 'bandas' (traditional thatched cottages upgraded with luxurious modern interiors) providing additional accommodation in a separate part of the the island.

Thanda is located within the protected Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve, giving guests unusual and exclusive access to the reefs and waters surrounding the island.

Snorkel the house reef, sail aboard a traditional dhow, visit neighbouring islands or, between October and March, head south in search of the whale sharks that feed nearby.

Available to book on SuiteCollection.com.
