Hi! I am planning my honeymoon and one of the things that would interest us is somewhere with the following:
1. a private beach to ourselves.
2. we are looking to go sometime in june.
3. I plan on booking with either the roughly 75-80 thousand starwood points that I have or with 80,000 chase ultimate rewards points that I have.
4. for a period of about 4-5 days.

We just want somewhere quiet and where we could do outdoor activities(like snorkeling or scub diving, canoeing) and be verrrry chill. any ideas? All help is appreciated!

Unless I am reading incorrectly, it appears that some Starwood properties have "private beaches", but that means private in that only guests can be there and not "you have this whole beach to yourself". So I would skip Starwood properties.

This Conde Nast article has some suggestions but it looks like none of them are truly "private". http://www.cntraveler.com/daily-trav...ch-polynesia_7

What is your budget?

I did some more looking and I think you will be very, very lucky to find a property that will let you use points to redeem. Every place I see with your requirement of a "private beach to ourselves" are private properties.

Thanks! what about a private pool? We're not asking because we're so fancy or anything like that, it's just for the sake of modesty.

Have you considered renting a private place for a week? Or do you want to use your points?

I would consider it, but I would prefer to use our points since we have a decent amount. Is the issue that I would need more points for a good honeymoon? Thank you for all your help sparkchaser!

I think the issue is that if you want a truly private pool then those properties will either be private properties or properties that do not participate in a points program.

I will keep looking though.

I agree with sparkchaser. While some hotels do offer a 'private pool' with a room, the other issue is that that does not mean it is not overlooked by another room. If modesty is the the issue then obviously that is the real concern.

Ignoring the hotel points issue which is probably not going to work, it is not that hard to find a place that will give you MOST of what you want but where you may not feel willing to go sans clothes entirely. For example: http://www.turtlefiji.com/
