No one really wants to share the beach, especially on vacation. But let’s face it, most popular coasts are bound to have people flocking to the water in summer. So, where does one go to have a beach getaway truly away from the crowds? These five luxury properties around the world may have you covered:

Private Sandback in the Maldives

In the heart of Baa Atoll’s UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve is Milaidhoo, an elevated resort where guests get their very own sandbank for sunrise yoga; secluded picnics; and even “Sleeping Under the Stars,” an off-the-grid overnight with a four-poster bed lit only by lanterns and a private yacht anchored nearby. Need we say more?

Switzerland’s Only True Beach Resort

Hotel Eden Roc is the only property in Ascona with direct access to Lake Maggiore. When you stay here, you’ll get a private beach and yacht harbor, where you can swim, water ski and paddleboard just steps from the shore.

A Private Island’s Private Island in Madagascar

Miavana by Time + Time truly crafted an experience centered entirely around seclusion, from its private oceanfront villas to its solitary water activities like snorkeling. Guests can even leave one private island for another, like to uninhabited Nosy Manampaho, for a fully serviced beach picnic with butler service.

Malaysia’s Best-Kept Secret

Situated on just a fraction of a 300-acre private island off of Malaysia’s west coast, Pangkor Laut Resort is accessible only by boat and reserved exclusively for in-house guests. The resort along is framed by a 2-million-year-old rainforest, white-sand beaches and clear waters, delivering the type of seclusion one thought only happened in dreams.

Have This Reopened Beach All to Yourself in the Seychelles

Fregate Island, accessible only by boat or helicopter, reopens later this year, with 17 private estates across its 544-acre island. The island is home to seven beaches, including Anse Victorin, often deemed one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. There’s even beach entrances marked with “occupied/not occupied” signs for complete isolation.
