Bedarra Island has taken out the title of the South Pacific�s most decadent escape in a recent review of 90 world hotels and resorts billed as being �nothing less than pure perfection�.

The �Pure Decadence� list - released by Elite Traveler, the US bi-monthly travel and lifestyle magazine which positions itself as catering to the elite affluent (a readership defined as having a minimum household income of US $1.1 million) - nominated Bedarra�s Villa 1 as the most decadent destination of the South Pacific.*

Along with the resort�s standard rapture-inducing inclusions and diversions � idyllic private palm-fringed beaches perfect for gourmet picnics, secluded treat-filled villas, exquisite meals on a daily changing menu and open access to the fully-stocked and extravagant Bedarra Bar - Villa 1 guests have the additional luxury of a private day bed.

Here, overlooking stunning ocean views, guests can contemplate whether to book themselves in for another massage or body treatment, decide whether to take a dinghy out to explore another spectacularly beautiful beach or simply bask in the sunshine.

Bedarra�s Villa 1 can be yours for $1040 per person, per night, twin share, including full breakfast, lunch and dinner with change of menu daily, free reign in Bedarra�s 24hour Open Bar, return launch transfer and many Island activities.

Those looking to take their decadence to a greater level can make a forward booking to reserve a Bedarra Pavilion. Due for completion in September, The Pavilions will offer a superior level of comfort and indulgence with a private plunge pool among the many dreamy designer features. Pavilion rates - $1400 per person per night twin share.
