Kanu Private Island is a masterclass in "attainable" ultra-luxury, designed by the developers of the famed Gladden Private Island to accommodate larger families and groups. This 2.5-acre sanctuary is a "Gold Standard" certified property that balances chic, Balinese-inspired design with a high-touch service model. The island’s heart is its massive thatched central palapa, which serves as a communal hub for dining and relaxation. With a dedicated boat captain, on-site concierge, and private chef included, Kanu eliminates the logistics of island living, allowing guests to focus entirely on the surrounding aquatic wonders and the "luxury of being together."
Accommodations & Design The island features five independent 1,000-square-foot villas, each positioned for maximum ocean views and privacy.
The Villas: Each breezily chic unit contains a master bedroom suite with high bamboo ceilings, a large resort-style bathroom with an outdoor shower, and a family-friendly loft space.
Bedding Configuration: The collective villas offer a mix of 3 King beds, 4 Queen beds, 2 Doubles, and 4 Twins, specifically tailored to accommodate groups of adults and children.
Design Palette: Incorporates coral stone, reclaimed wood, and custom local furniture, with a color scheme reflecting the turquoise sea and golden sun.

On-Island Leisure: A large freshwater infinity pool, a pool table, multiple games, high-speed Wi-Fi, and laundry service are all included.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Kanu is guaranteed by its "one-group-only" policy. Despite being only 25 minutes from the mainland, the 2.5-acre footprint is entirely exclusive to your party. There are no neighbors, and the surrounding reef acts as a natural buffer. For families, this means total security—children can roam the island freely while parents relax in the central palapa. For high-profile guests, the private boat captain and concierge ensure that any excursions to the mainland or the Barrier Reef are conducted with absolute discretion, making Kanu a secure, gated-style tropical fortress.
