Here is the quote from Robb Report article, "The best rooms at the world’s top resorts are not rooms at all, but instead lavish villas, chalets, and even castles that offer everything from theaters to private beaches and spas. Here, we present 20 of our house favorites."

The article featured Falcon's Nest commonly referred to as "the nest" by many who frequest her.  "The nest" is a true Oasis for executives looking for a covert meeting base of operations. Celebrities also call it home as they seek a private escape on a private island, in a totally private villa, to relax and enjoy a stay far removed from the paparatzzi. The world has spead, and Peter Island is gaining a reputation as a paparatzzi no-fly zone escape.  What?  The island can institute a no-fly zone which keeps the camera snapping-paparatzzi at bay via air and land.  The island is serious about keeping guest confidentially and never, never kisses and tells.   Don't bother asking and yes that means you People Magazine, Star Magazine and more, as we won't tell.   When on island do keep your eyes peeled as a celebrity just may be lounging in a hammock near you!

Thanks Rob Report for the great article on Falcon's Nest!
