Necker Island
British Virgin Islands

Never one to shun a spotlight, Richard Branson made a splash in 1982 when he bought a barren, rocky 74-acre island in the British Virgin Islands and built a vacation compound, a Balinese fantasy of thatched-roof, open-air pavilions filled with hard-carved furniture, shimmering silks and batiks.

He made another splash in 1984 when he began to rent it out, turning Necker Island into one of the first private island resorts and allowing similar spotlight-seekers to escape the heat of popping camera flashes. Except for two annual "Celebration Weeks," the rest of the year only one individual or group (up to 28) can stay at any time. Branson's "mi casa, su casa"; spirit means they have the run of the place and its three freshwater pools, snooker table, dinghies, tennis courts, library, bar, the works -- all included in the hefty price of admission.

Peter Island Resort
British Virgin Islands

Of all the private island resorts in the Caribbean, Peter Island -- one of the British Virgin Islands -- is one of the largest. It's also one of the most democratic: This is not simply a retreat for lovers or for CEOs (although they would feel perfectly at home);

the all-inclusive resort also appeals to families and outdoor lovers of every sort. With its 1,300 acres, a stay here is not just about the sand (although there are five private beaches) or surf (there are moorings for yachts and every water sport alive); the undeveloped interior also attracts hikers, bikers and bird-watchers.

Jamaica Inn
Jamaica

With all the hoopla over all-inclusive resorts and spring-break shenanigans, it's easy to forget there was a kinder, gentler time in Jamaican tourism -- with places like the Jamaica Inn that ooze old-school charm and low-key sophistication.

Mellowness comes with maturity, and this hotel's been around since the days when Harry Belafonte (rather than Bob Marley) was this island's most celebrated singer. Nearly everyone who passed through Ocho Rios in those days slept, ate (or drank) at Jamaica Inn -- Errol Flynn, Winston Churchill, Katharine Hepburn and Claudette Colbert, just to name a few. But the hotel also has its modern-day habitués, jet-setters like supermodel Kate Moss who leave their party face at home in favor of a laid-back Jamaican sojourn.
