The cache of private islands is
so great that many island resorts have, as its main
marketing points, the fact that they're located on a
private island. Private island resorts, with various
standards in luxury, have always held great appeal
to holidaymakers primarily for the exclusive
connotations as well as the privacy it affords. The
most famous, of course, being Necker Island, as well
as the recent Rania Experience in the Maldives.
