Calivigny Island is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious private islands in the world. It is a Relais & Châteaux property that feels less like a resort and more like a high-net-worth individual's private estate. The 80-acre island combines the best of French Colonial and Balinese architecture with the absolute pinnacle of European craftsmanship. With a staff-to-guest ratio that often exceeds two-to-one, the experience is entirely bespoke—whether you wish for a midnight beach bonfire, a scuba expedition to a nearby shipwreck, or a gourmet picnic on a deserted sandbank.
Accommodations & Design The estate is comprised of three distinct living areas, each offering a different architectural perspective.
The Beach House: A magnificent 10-suite residence blending French Colonial and Balinese styles. It features hand-carved mahogany ceilings and custom furniture designed by Oscar de la Renta and Richard Frinier.
The Overhang House: A 9-suite modern Balinese villa perched above the water, showcasing an extensive collection of contemporary art and sleek design.
The Beach Cottages: Three two-bedroom cottages that provide a more intimate, beach-level experience while maintaining the same level of luxury.
The Primary Suite: Located in the Beach House, this 4,000-square-foot sanctuary is a masterpiece of mahogany and marble. It features soaring ceilings, a massive private terrace with sea views, and an en-suite bathroom of immense scale.
Amenities & Inclusions Calivigny operates like a private country club:
The Fleet: Guests have access to an incredible collection of vessels, including powerboats, catamarans, and a 173-foot yacht available for charter.
Gastronomy: Multiple world-class chefs are on staff to prepare tailored menus ranging from formal multi-course dinners to casual beachside barbecues.
Wellness & Recreation: A massive 400-square-meter freshwater swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness center, floodlit tennis courts, and a private cinema.
Marine Life: The island is surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and is a short boat ride from world-class wreck diving sites.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Calivigny is absolute. As an exclusive-use property, the only people on the island are you, your invited guests, and the staff. The island is naturally secluded by the surrounding sea, and the shoreline is monitored by a sophisticated security team. There are no public access points, and the 5-minute boat buffer from mainland Grenada ensures that the island remains a secure, water-locked fortress of luxury. For high-profile individuals and families, Calivigny offers the rare ability to be entirely public-facing on the mainland one moment and in total, secure isolation the next.
