owned the island since
1972 and his ashes were
buried there after his death
in 1990. After signing the
papers for the island in
2003, the Austrian multimillionaire
turned his attention
to giving this idyllic
spot a touch of exclusivity.
He spent a decade building
a resort with 25 ultraluxe
villas on the island’s deserted
white sand beaches
and jungle-covered volcanic
mountains. Maybe
calling it a «five-star hotel»
is not enough. The resort
is the epitome of glamor
and discretion and boasts
the highest ratio of staff
to guests anywhere in the
world–350 employees to a
maximum of 80 visitors–
guaranteed to dazzle guests
not only with outstanding
service but also with a host
of first-class amenities.
Visitors can explore the island’s
beaches, meadows
and cliffs or spend their
days playing a round on
the 18-hole golf course designed
by Scotland-native
David McLay Kidd. Guests
