Forget your five-star and seven-star stays. These places don’t even show up on the map unless you’re flying private. Specialized and curated just for the ultra elite, the billionaires, royalty, and A-grade celebrities, these stays are about complete seclusion, limitless personalization, and truly extravagant experiences.

From beautiful glass-walled villas on the edge of the Pacific to private islands with their own helipads and fashion closets curated by popular couture houses, this is hospitality at its ultimate best. This list is not for your average luxury traveller; it is curated for the top 0.001%, where nightly rates can go as high as the price of a luxury car, and your privacy is truly protected like a state secret. Hello and welcome, Mate.

Today, we will be discussing a few of the ultra-luxury stays that are meant only for the top 1% on the planet. So if you have ever wondered what $75,000 a night can get you to experience, here are five of the most exclusive and extraordinary stays on the planet.

The Penthouse at The Mark Hotel – New York City, USA

USD 75,000 per night

Tucked high above Manhattan’s Upper East Side, The Mark Penthouse isn’t just the most expensive hotel suite in America, it’s in a category of its own. Spanning two sprawling floors and over 12,000 square feet, this is less of a hotel stay and more of a private palace in the sky.

Designed by Jacques Grange with a keen eye for intimacy and indulgence, the space flows through five serene bedrooms, six marble-drenched baths, a sunlit conservatory, and a fireside library that feels pulled from a dream. The grand living room alone could host a gala, but it’s the 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace framing Central Park like a painting that truly steals your breath. And then there’s the service.

Not staff but a team, waiting quietly in the wings. A personal butler. A private in-suite hairstylist. And meals imagined by none other than Jean-Georges Vongerichten, tailored to your cravings, plated to perfection. This isn’t a suite—it’s an escape from the noise, a flex of quiet power and polished comfort. In a city full of legends, The Mark still manages to feel one-of-a-kind.

Rahimoana at Eagle’s Nest – Bay of Islands, New Zealand

USD 10,000– 20,000 per night

Situated on a private peninsula that overlooks the Bay of Islands, Rahimoana at Eagle’s Nest offers you an ultra secluded yet luxurious experience in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful landscapes. Spanning across 1,000 square meters, the villa is a 4-bedroom, all-glass living architectural marvel that blends minimalist designs with panoramic ocean views stretching across 75 acres of private estate.

Rahimoana includes a 25-meter heated infinity pool, jacuzzi, private gym, sauna, wine cellar, and even a state-of-the-art home cinema. You wish to explore it all in style? A Porsche Cayenne Turbo is yours during your stay. Taking luxury to its ultimate level, this villa also comes with a private helipad and access to a luxury yacht charter for your day trips across the bay.

Whether it is your couples’ retreat, a discreet celeb escape, or a high-profile celebration, Rahimoana offers the rare chance to completely unplug and isolate from the world.

The Brando – Tetiaroa, French Polynesia

USD 3,000–10,000 per night

Once the private sanctuary of Marlon Brando, The Brando on Tetiaroa is a super luxurious eco-resort unlike any other. Just a 20-minute flight from Tahiti, this private stay offers 35 beachfront villas where sustainability meets breathtaking indulgence.
These villas blend Polynesian design with modern touches, each featuring a private pool, beach access, and outdoor living areas. What truly sets The Brando apart is its environmental dedication and commitment.

Being powered by solar energy and cooled using a pioneering deep seawater air-conditioning system, it becomes one of the most sustainable luxury resorts in the world. Dining is catered by Michelin-starred chef Guy Martin, offering a fusion of French and Polynesian cuisine with its ingredients directly sourced from the island’s organic gardens and lagoons.

Guests have the option to dine beachside, in-villa, or at one of the resort’s refined restaurants. Complete privacy, peace, and a powerful commitment to the planet make The Brando a true rare gem.

North Island – Seychelles

USD 6,000–8,000 per night

Tucked deep in the Seychelles, where the Indian Ocean meets untouched jungle, North Island feels less like a resort and more like a secret. Royals have walked its sands—Prince William and Kate chose it for their honeymoon—and yet, when you’re there, it’s just you and the breeze.

With only 11 villas hidden among the trees and dunes, the island isn’t built for crowds. It’s made for escape. Each villa is a quiet wonder, crafted by hand from local wood and stone, open to the sky and sea, with wide decks, soft curves, and a feeling of ease that’s hard to describe. Think deep soaking tubs, showers open to the stars, and the kind of quiet that resets your soul.

The crown jewel, Villa North Island, has its private beach and no neighbors in sight. But the one thing that sets this luxury destination apart is the way it listens to you and makes you feel heard, because there is no menu set here; each meal is curated specially for you, completely based on what you are craving and what you feel like eating.

Every detail feels instinctive. Every moment, yours alone. For those who want their privacy to feel intentional, not incidental, North Island offers something rare: complete luxury that never forgets the land it comes from

Cheval Blanc Randheli Private Island – Maldives

USD 4,500–7,000 per night (standard villas)

Far away from the hustles and worries of the everyday and in a quiet corner of the Maldives known as the Noonu Atoll, rests something rare: Cheval Blanc Randheli. It’s not only elegant, but truly it’s effortless, as if the ocean itself chose to cradle this retreat. Operated by the house of LVMH—the same minds behind Louis Vuitton and Dior—Randheli carries that same sense of tailored, timeless grace.

But the Private Island Estate? That’s where the real story begins. Only accessible by seaplane or private yacht, this four-bedroom sanctuary stands entirely on its own island. A sweep of white sand surrounds it; the sea presses close on every side. Inside, the space breathes—cathedral-high ceilings welcome the breeze, and every room seems to hum with quiet luxury: a spa tucked just far enough away, a cinema under the stars, a gym with views that steal your focus.

The design walks a fine line—Maldivian textures warmed by a French hand. And the service? Seamless. A private chef appears before hunger has a name. Your butler handles the rest. Spa therapists, fitness coaches, and even violinists appear when the moment calls for something unforgettable.

Brunch with champagne aboard your yacht, a candlelit dinner on a sandbank, a floating screen on the sea—if you can imagine it, Randheli’s Experience Alchemists are already setting the scene.

Where infinity pools stretch into the sea, helicopters replace your old taxis and the staff know your preferences and wants before you even arrive. These aren’t just places to stay, they’re once in a lifetime experiences curated for the few who live beyond boundaries.
