Living the high life in Fiji isn’t what you’d call difficult, but if you really want to splash out, you might want to check out what’s on offer at the Delana Hilltop Estate. What’s most interesting about this particular millionaire’s paradise is not the fact that it features its own panoramic swimming pool, private nanny services, complimentary chauffeur, private chef or dual luxury residences. No, what’s most interesting is the way in which its owner – Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz – insists on personally screening anyone wishing to ‘apply’ for permission to rent out his beloved residence for temporary stays.
