The island's location remains a mystery; visitors must blindfold themselves and sign a commitment not to disclose any information about this secluded place.
Couples Getaway: Exploring the Enigma of an Island Reserved for Infidelity
Illicit Encounters, a romance matchmaking website in the UK, recently stirred controversy by acquiring an offshore island exclusively for extramarital affairs. Visitors here can indulge in the most private moments without disturbances or the risk of jealous encounters.
Capturing or posting photos online is restricted to preserve the privacy of those involved in these discreet affairs.
The peculiar island is known to be situated approximately 160 km south of the Portsmouth coastline (UK). Despite the less-than-ideal climate for tourism compared to other destinations, visitors prioritize the assurance of privacy and confidentiality. For them, having a guarantee of discretion is the top priority.
This service provides luxurious apartments for extramarital couples, complete with amenities such as private bathrooms, rooms with beautiful views, restaurants, bars, and a romantic beach to ensure you have the sweetest moments with your secret partner.
In fact, the website spokesperson boldly advertises: 'All you need to do is announce that you are on a 'business trip,' leave the rest to us. What happens on the island stays on the island.'
Legally, the extramarital tourism type of Illicit Retreat faces no obstacles. However, from a societal moral standpoint, this service has garnered mixed opinions for facilitating illicit relationships. Nevertheless, according to the organizers, their product is attracting a considerable number of tourists.
