Desert Islands Designed for Two

Forget the private infinity-edge pool, the tanning butler and the Ayurvedic spa. The latest luxury hotel amenity is far more exclusive: a desert island. The Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, which has the world’s only all-glass undersea restaurant, offers its guests a private picnic lunch on Huruelhi, a 1,300-foot-long by 160-feet-wide island. Access to the island is $100 a person, and the lunch is additional.

At the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, guests can enjoy the 40-acre Renaissance Island, which is private and which has two beaches. For a fee ($4,000 to be exact), the island can be rented for exclusive use from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. After that, the surcharge is $400 an hour until 3 a.m. A water taxi will whisk guests to the island, where they will have a five-course dinner for two with Champagne and island ambience (tiki torches and twinkling lights). Flowers, music and fireworks can be arranged for an additional charge.

At Cambridge Beaches in Bermuda, couples can sign up for a private dinner between May 15 and Oct. 31 on the island of TT with a butler the only other person there. For $632.50, the couple is transported to the island on a boat and given a bottle of Perrier-Jouët Champagne. A cold seafood dinner awaits them, followed by a cruise on the waters of the property. Reservations are mandatory.
