As you approach Calala Island, you could be forgiven for thinking yourself a true castaway, about to be left in the middle of the Caribbean. But as you sail closer, thatch-roofed villas and a shimmering infinity pool emerge among the palm trees. By the time you’re greeted at the jetty, you’ll be a willing Robinson Crusoe, ready to begin life on this private island retreat.

On Calala Island, your exclusive hideaway will be one of just four beachfront suites, styled after a traditional Caribbean palapa. With open ocean views in front and palm forest behind, each one is completely private. Spend your days lazing in the hammock or taking hand-in-hand strolls on the beach – after your morning mimosas, naturally. Enjoy a massage in one of the private pavilions beside the sea. Then look forward to a bespoke menu of fresh-off-the-fishing-line seafood and organic, island-grown produce.

Almost everything is included on Calala Island – and the friendly team is on hand to shape your stay exactly as you wish. Set off on a fishing trip to land a Caribbean catch of the day. Go snorkelling or paddle boarding. Then as night falls, sit out under the stars, cocktail in hand. On Calala Island, you’re truly in a world of your own.
