Most luxury hotels pride themselves on offering privacy for their guests. But few can guarantee it the way these properties can. As safety and seclusion have climbed to the top of many travellers’ requirements post-pandemic, so too has the popularity of buy-outonly properties, which offer all of the services and facilities of a five-star hotel but also the peace of mind of knowing you have the whole place to yourself— whether there’s only a room or two in total, or you’re taking over an entire island or estate.
ULTIMA CORFU, GREECE
Mykonos, who? Corfu is a stunning destination on Greece’s northwest coast, and perched above this paradise on a dramatic cliffside is a seven-bedroom property built exclusively for buy-outs.
Spread over two levels, Ultima Corfu looks over rugged coastline and the deep blue hues of the Ionian Sea. Adding to the drama are a pair of two-tiered, 20-metre infinity pools, located steps away from each other and connected by a waterfall. Wellness is also taken seriously at this cliffside sanctuary, which boasts a mosaic-tiled hammam and a spa with dedicated therapists who can assist with everything from massages and facials to sleep therapy, morning yoga and Pilates on a stand-up paddle board.
And since no trip to Greece is complete without a bit of island hopping, Ultima Corfu guests have access to a 24-metre yacht, the Ultima Beach, to take them to secluded coves, far from the party people (unless they’re part of your set).
