welcome to lethal island a 250 million dollar paradise with luxury villas five high-end
restaurants and a championship golf course red bull co-founder dietrich matashitz who at the
time of writing was worth 24.3 billion dollars spared no expense transforming lethal into one of
the world's most exclusive luxury resorts you too can live like a billionaire on this fijian island
for a price it costs ten thousand dollars to land a private jet here and to stay in matashitsa's
hilltop estate cost forty five thousand dollars a night you can even explore the crystal blue waters
in a 1.7 million dollar submarine or a 5 million yacht so how about a tour lethal island wasn't
always a playground for billionaires matashitz purchased the island in 2003 from steve forbes for
just 10 million at the time it was nothing more than a quaint south seas island with a coconut
plantation and a turn-of-the-century colonial mansion matashitz then spent hundreds of millions
building world-class amenities like a 2 000 square meter lagoon and a stunning 25 meter long glass
infinity pool now you can dock your private yacht at the island's jetty and enjoy some
libations at the pool bar that was simply not possible when forbes owned the island
matashitz also built a luxurious leisure center at the heart of the island complete with a
state-of-the-art gym and a specially curated library filled with books about the south pacific
of course getting to lethal island is only easy if you have plenty of cash to spare
in addition to the 10 000 landing fee private jet owners must pay an 8 000 departure fee if you're a
mere millionaire you'll have to fly in from nearby nadi in one of lothala's beechcraft king air
plains staying at lethal island is a costly affair in fact it's impossible to stay on the island for
less than four thousand eight hundred dollars a night for that price you can rent an exclusive
plantation villa with traditional fijian huts a private pool and your very own private garden
each villa has its own private beach and shoreline so you can relax on a beach chair and have your
personal butler bring you food and drinks yes that's all included in the 4 800 a night
price tag all of the traditional fijian huts are decked out in a luxurious manner coconut husks
palm leaves and local timber were used to create high-end furnishings fit for a king lethal has 25
villas in total but there's one that's much more luxurious than the rest lothalo wouldn't be the
second most expensive resort in the world if all the villas were just four thousand eight hundred
dollars a night for forty five thousand dollars a night you can rent the opulent hilltop estate
this is actually matashit's private vacation home but he rents out the tropical hideaway
to other fabulously wealthy individuals as he only stays on lethal for a few weeks a year the hilltop
estate is situated high in the lush green hills and offers amazing panoramic views of the ocean
many have referred to the hilltop estate as a resort within a resort because it has a massive
1 200 square meter main residence and two guest houses matashit's private hilltop mansion has
two pools one that overlooks the ocean and a glass infinity pool identical to the one at the
center of the resort the hilltop estate also has a private library hot tub lounge area and a secluded
turquoise lagoon if you rent the hilltop estate an entire team of hospitality professionals will wait
on you hand and foot 24 7. you'll have access to a butler and nanny your private chauffeur can whisk
you off to any part of the island via golf cart and the executive chef can whip up anything your
heart desires you might be thinking well i can afford forty five thousand dollars a night not so
fast you have to stay for at least four nights and matashits must personally approve your application
multi-billionaires like oprah winfrey have even rented out the entire island in the past if
you want to have the entire island to yourself you'll have to fork over 170 thousand dollars a
night there's a lot more to do on lethal island than just relax on the beach the resort has an
18-hole championship golf course that was designed by famed architect david mcclay kidd the course's
12th hole is particularly challenging the green extends to the beach which means your feet will
get wet at high tide but when you're a billionaire ruining a 600 pair of golf shoes doesn't seem like
such a big deal lethal resort has an entire fleet of boats including an incredibly rare and historic
sailing yacht called the rear ahi guests can traverse the waters along the coast in
this 5 million masterpiece but be careful the opulent sailing vessel recently underwent a 500
000 restoration if you want to spend the day game fishing simply hop aboard the resort's one million
dollar riviera open flybridge yacht the waters of fiji are filled with marlin sailfish and wahoo
so you can spend the entire day reeling in monster catches if you want to experience a bit
of south pacific culture you can take a ride in a traditional fijian sailing boat called a kamikao
if you want a more modern sailing experience you can hop on a dragon class sailing boat
yachts and sailing boats are cool but the coolest watercraft at la thala is the 1.7 million dollar
deep flight super falcon sub lithala island is the only resort in the world with a submarine
and it might just be the coolest hotel perk of all time if you're rich enough you can explore
coral reefs and the ocean floor in this incredible submersible lithala offers some
of the clearest waters in the world so you'll be able to see sea turtles and tropical fish
up close and personal riding in a deep falcon sub would normally cost two thousand dollars an hour
but lethal is all-inclusive so it won't cost you anything beyond the price of your private villa
lethal island is the only resort in the world where you can pretend to be james bond
if one of the other uber wealthy guests is using the submarine don't fret lethal has a world-class
dive center so you can spend the day snorkeling or scuba diving instead horseback riding is another
popular pastime for the island's billionaire visitors as the resort has a stable of six horses
after a long day of exploring the island you can relax at lithala's incredible spa
the resort has four treatment villas each with an outdoor tub and relaxation room you can even pick
flowers and herbs at the spa garden and use them to create your own signature perfume the food on
lethal island is as good as anything you'd find at a michelin-starred restaurant in paris the resort
has an herb garden vegetable garden fruit farm and livestock farm so you know all the ingredients are
fresh there are five restaurants on the island including the plantation house restaurant where
you can dine on lobster and a5 waigu angus beef a meal like that would easily cost you 500
in new york city the beach bar restaurant serves up grilled seafood and traditional
fijian fare like kokoda a traditional raw fish salad marinated with lemon chili and coconuts the
seagrass restaurant offers world-renowned asian fare and the restaurant even has its own jetty you
can float your yacht right up to the restaurant and grab a bite think of it as a billionaire's
version of a drive-through here's a fun fact did you know that matashitz owns a 5 million douglas
dc 6b it's housed at hangar 7 in salzburg austria along with matashitsa's other valuable planes
he owns more than 30 antique aircraft and they're all operational it turns out red bull really does
