Once the private home of financier Sir James Goldsmith, this vast 30,000-acre estate of tropical jungle, coconut groves and mango plantations has since been transformed by his daughter Alix into an extravagant eco-retreat. The property has long attracted a host of distinguished guests, including a number of American presidents. There are four lavish suites in the main house, plus six standalone bungalows with direct access to an oceanfront pool and ten casitas set further away with access to their own restaurant, bar and swimming pool. For the utmost privacy, book one of the three villas; each one is fully staffed and comes with a full-size infinity pool. With its host of wide-ranging habitats, the estate is home to roaming zebra, iguanas, jaguars and over 270 species of migratory birds and it is so large that a fleet of jeeps are available for guests to rent to get around.
