Australia: Lizard Island The lizards are big; the clams are giant; the staff smiles are huge. <\/p>\n
Bahamas: Star Island The promise of a new \"green\" retreat in Eleuthera is why Star Island made this list. <\/p>\n
Belize: Cayo Espanto This hideaway in the cayes of Belize could grant practically any wish, except for smoked fish. <\/p>\n
BVI: Peter Island Gloating isn't the best reason to visit Peter Island. But it can be fun. <\/p>\n
Canada: Sonora IslandBritish Columbia is dotted with private islands -- for fishermen. But Sonora Resort has a bit more than a cabin. <\/p>\n
Cook Islands: Akitua Only one resort lets you stay on the stunning Aitutaki Lagoon: the appropriately named Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa. <\/p>\n
Fiji: MatangiFiji's only treehouse accommodations put the privacy literally over the top. <\/p>\n
Maldives: Veli and Dhigu In this island nation dotted with 80 resorts, it's impossible to pick just one that's the best -- so here are two. <\/p>\n
Philippines: Pamalican Island Like a nesting doll, the Amanpulo resort here offers a retreat within a retreat. <\/p>\n
Seychelles: Frgate Island This island was a paradise before the Frgate Island Private resort was built -- and it still is. <\/p>\n
Tahiti: TautauThe staff of Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa on this motu facing the \"Vanilla Island\" specializes in privacy. <\/p>\n
Turks & Caicos: Pine Cay Other places say they're \"Old Caribbean\"; the Meridian Club on Pine Cay means it. <\/p>\n
