Makepeace Island

It’s easy to find tranquility on Makepeace Island, Sir Richard Branson’s Australian home, an exclusive retreat on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. This 25-acre island hosts as many as 20 privileged guests, welcoming them to enjoy a refreshing dip in the 500,000-liter central lagoon pool, a soak in the spa, and a game of tennis or billiards. The adventurer can go fishing, stand-up paddleboarding, or kayaking around the heart-shaped island; ask about the array of bespoke activities. The bedrooms – individually adorned with Indonesian furnishings and artwork – are dispersed throughout the Island House and three private two-bedroom villas.
