An exclusive look at the most luxurious and remote locations where private celebrations reach extraordinary levels.
When it comes to throwing a party, the wealthy aren’t settling for a local venue; they’re going above and beyond, opting for destination celebrations that are as extravagant as they are unforgettable. And it’s not just weddings in exotic locations anymore. From memorable birthdays to exclusive events, these high-profile parties are taking place in some of the most luxurious and remote locations around the world.
Steve Einzig , CEO of BookingEntertainment.com , who has hosted events on every continent—except Antarctica — says it best: «Venues are a critical part of the party experience, adding to the uniqueness of seeing a top-tier artist in such an intimate setting. Not only do guests get a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience, but it also happens to be in an incredible location that isn’t typically used for concerts (a private mansion, yacht, or estate, for example). If we can time the sunset with the concert time, that also adds an incredible dimension to the experience.»
With that in mind, here are some stunning venues where Einzig and his team have helped their clients book entertainment for some of the most dazzling parties.
Turks & Caicos – A Caribbean dream in Amanyara
Picture this: A two-night private party for 75 guests, held on a $25 million estate at the prestigious Amanyara resort in Turks & Caicos. The first night? The Wailers . The second night? Earth, Wind & Fire . Yes, you read that right.
For those familiar with Amanyara, it is an extraordinary collection of private estates located along the ocean, in the most remote part of the island. Each one is an oasis in itself, with a private chef, guest houses, swimming pools and a pristine beach. Hosting a concert under the stars on the beach of one of these luxurious houses is simply magical. Ocean waves, the Caribbean breeze and iconic music legends: this is the perfect place for an unforgettable party.
Yacht in Porto Santo Stefano – A Mediterranean surprise
Imagine a 78-metre yacht anchored off the coast of Porto Santo Stefano and surprise your guests with a performance by the Gipsy Kings . Sounds like a dream? Well, it happened.
The yacht was parked on the Mediterranean coast, just an hour north of Rome, and the element of surprise was key. The band was secretly brought aboard via motorboat and sneaked in through a door at ocean level, taking an elevator up to the galley, which had been transformed into a dressing room. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the birthday boy had no idea what was about to happen. When the Gipsy Kings began to play, the evening became an unforgettable Mediterranean experience, set against the stunning backdrop of the Italian coastline.
Barbados – Rock legends in Mick Jagger’s former home
How about a private concert with Bon Jovi at Mick Jagger ‘s former home in Barbados ? This mansion, now owned by the client who hosted the party, sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean, and features two levels that create a natural stage for the rock legends.
The setting was ideal: a mansion on the upper level, a staircase leading to a house with a pool, a lawn, and a cliff that drops 60 meters into the ocean. The bands played against the backdrop of the sea, under a full moon that was perfectly reflected in the water. It was, without a doubt, spectacular, a rock and roll fantasy come true.
Tuscany – A luxurious 21st birthday party on a private beach
Picture this: a 21st birthday party for the daughter of the owner of the Lavazza coffee empire , held on a private beach in Piombino , Tuscany . The event was an elaborate dinner that culminated in a surprise performance by international DJ Robin Schulz .
The event was so impressive that newscasts covered it from afar. The natural beauty of Tuscany, an exclusive beach and top-notch entertainment combined to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for guests.
Amangiri Hotel, Utah – Desert elegance with surprise performance
For a more remote but equally luxurious option, consider celebrating a major milestone at the ultra-luxurious Amangiri Hotel in Utah. Picture a custom yurt and stage built in the middle of a canyon, with 150 guests enjoying a surprise performance by Nelly . The unique desert setting, coupled with the hotel’s opulent amenities, made for an unforgettable 50th birthday party that could easily have cost a few million dollars. The light setup alone, reflecting off the canyon walls, transformed the desert into an ethereal landscape.
These destinations prove that when it comes to throwing a truly spectacular party, the sky’s the limit—and so is the budget. From private islands in the Caribbean to luxury yachts in the Mediterranean and even desert canyons in Utah, each location offers something unique and spectacular. So whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, an exclusive event, or just want to throw a party no one will forget, these destinations are where memories are made (and possibly a few million dollars are spent). Now, the only question is: Where will you throw your next legendary party?
