What do you think a luxury tourist island should have to make it feel special? Those little touches that leave a lasting impression and make the experience unforgettable?
Jeeps with park logos on them. Barbasol cans with hiding spots.
Being able to arrive or leave by private boat, seaplane, or helicopter.
For example, the new One and Only Resort on Kea Island lets you arrive by Speedboat or helicopter, directly to the hotel.
It depends on the location. In the Pacific, it’s not common to have full-time staff, but in East Asia, it’s common to have a designated staff member you can contact through WhatsApp or by phone.
Also, having all-inclusive spa treatment options that are automatically booked so you don’t miss out on anything. It’s frustrating to arrive somewhere and find out you can’t get an appointment because you missed a certain time.
A 24/7 helpdesk is essential—if housekeeping leaves at 6 pm, you don’t want to deal with dirty sheets until the morning if something happens in the middle of the night.
Good entertainment like famous DJs instead of just a playlist is another big plus.
Quick laundry service, even if it’s just ironing, would be great.
Having event schedules in advance and the ability to reserve spots for residents would make things easier.
A well-trained butler would be key. They can handle all your needs and make the experience even more luxurious.
Private chef would be a nice touch. Having someone cook for you whenever you want, with personalized meals, takes the luxury experience to another level.
