Alone, Not Lonely
In a world where ‘busy’ is everyone’s middle name, a remote getaway seems like a great idea. But where can you enjoy peaceful solitude without sacrificing luxury and comfort?
It doesn’t get more secluded—or exclusive—than the private North Island in beautiful Seychelles. Abandoned in the 1970s and restored to its former glory in 1997, it takes ecotourism to another level. North Island is now a sanctuary for endangered species (sea turtles, for example) and anyone looking for an escape. There are 10 beachfront villas (450sqm) and one grand villa (750sqm), each designed to help you reclaim your sense of space and privacy, with views of powder-white sand and turquoise waters.
For another kind of off-the-grid experience, look to Bliss & Stars, a 1,350-hectare retreat in the breathtaking Cederberg Mountains of South Africa. Founded by a certified mindfulness guru and an astrophotography professional, Bliss & Stars bills itself as a spiritual and wellness getaway that offers carefully curated immersive retreats to “calm the mind, rejuvenate the body and reconnect yourself with nature”. In an intimate group, one may unplug and unwind through a six-day silent retreat or a three-night star bathing experience, with guided meditation, cave exploration and stargazing sessions. One can also book the entire retreat and enjoy it all: luxury accommodation, private chefs (only plant-based and vegetarian meals), an on-site masseuse, guided mindfulness experiences and more.
