#16 Ile des Deux Cocos, Mauritius—$364 per night
Located a mere 200 meters away from its sister property Lux Le Morne, the Ile des Deux Cocos is a heavenly island off the southeast coast of Mauritius—which is private, without being too isolated. Accommodation is available in the island’s 252-square meter, two-bedroomed villa, which was built a century ago by the British Governor of Mauritius, Sir Hesketh Bell. It has since then been completely restored, offering a shaded Moroccan courtyard, a bougainvillea garden as well as a swimming pool, and your own private speedboat The bathroom has a hot tub and scented products and natural healing oils to anoint you after a day on the beach. Ile des Deux Cocos also has a round-the-clock staff—housekeeper, valet, and chef. An overnight stay for two adults could set you back by around $364 per night.
