About the host
Hosted by owner/property manager
Boston Herald calls John Giovanni's Slopes to Sands Dream Vacation Homes, "a renowned & highly-innovative vacation home company, offering many desirable destinations"
All Homes are owned by the Cacciutti family, close friends and relatives. Each masterpiece is the work of former automotive designer John Giovanni Cacciutti who now makes a hobby out of constructing luxurious and entertaining Estates, Villas, and Chateaus for the sole purpose of spending quality time with family and friends. Maximizing fun for all ages is his passion and it is obvious in the wildly creative and entertaining design elements in these properties.
However, these creations are only rented a limited number of times each year to families who understand that these are not hotels and respect them as very exquisite homes. Occupancy is by invitation - after a short screening process - and the Cacciutti family kindly requests that invited guests report irregularities upon check-in and take care to leave these homes the way they were on arrival.
John Giovanni Cacciutti believes that vacation home designing is an art extending way beyond material selection and the greatest reward is the group vacation fun that he designs-IN!
Private Paradise has multiple ocean-front master suites with magnificent bathrooms with lighted etched glass works of art but it is also an entertainment complex in itself, purposely designed for family and group reunions of all ages and in all seasons! Before drafting the house, we blueprinted the fun for every activity and part of our think-tank process was considering where adults and children of each age group would congregate together and on their own.
LA WEEKLY - "It's no wonder that the world's elite are gravitating to this hotspot for a private retreat." Why this property?

Why they chose this property
1) AWARDS 2) REVIEWS 3) ARTICLES 4) INNOVATION!
PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA is total new vacation concept and the buzz of travel media. Featured in over 30 publications online and winner of BEST in Mexico, the Caribbean and World Awards from Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, Modern Luxury Miami, Ocean Drive Magazine and New York Weekly!
2) RAVING Reviews, Reviews, Reviews! Read Over100 online from ecstatic customers and all 5-STAR!
3) ARTICLES - Travel Noire "A first of its kind concept has emerged at Private Paradise Villa". Boston Herald - on-demand service and stunning oceanside views that supersede a resort. Travelers Today Magazine - "ranking amongst the most exotic vacation spots globally!"
4) INNOVATION - How can Private Paradise’s design & All Island Exclusive program actually help groups get along?
Our focus groups identified that it can sometimes be difficult for groups to get along, so we outlined common conflicts and engineered solutions to help keep them from happening.
1. KEEPING PEACE – We designed multiple buildings, pools, stocked bars, cabanas with Bali-day beds and 5 ocean-view suites so that everyone sharing the rental expense can enjoy similar posh treatment and spread out! Teenagers have fun in the HD GAMING THEATER and we built a shallow splash pool, outdoor playhouse and Camp Coz – an enchanting two-level playhouse so toddlers have a place of their own to watch Cartoons and it’s just their size!
2. With our All-Island Exclusive program, your concierge advances payments and tips for most things and divides the expenses up onto guest’s check-out bills so there is no friction over who pays and what to tip. Also, the resort manager is the go-to person for requests, NOT the group organizer so everyone can enjoy their vacation.
3. FOSTERING LAUGHTER –Every group has comical personalities in it so the design team incorporated a unique stage with props and hi-tech electronics into the great room so these performers could really get the laughter going.

What makes this property unique
Flyin Mayan Stocked Swim-Up Bar!
Just imagine your friends & family soothing in 94-degree water and watching a game on a huge 72" TV while your personal bartender makes frozen craft cocktails and private chefs serve you burgers and ribs grilled right before your eyes on the barbie!
Bali-Day Beds
These amazing relaxation huts over the water and down by the Caribbean are designed after the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora and are designer John Giovanni’s favorite feature to enjoy in the whole property!
Each one features Jaw-dropping views, smart TVs where you can play content from your phone. They also have ceiling fans and outlets for charging so they are great places to work, and our staff will deliver food and beverages while you simply relax and have it made in the shade!
25 Feet Tall Waterfalls in Grand Entrance Hall
The pièce de résistance of the Private Paradise lobby are four 25’ tall lighted harmonic waterfalls that descend rhythmically from the towering 30 feet ceiling above. These works of art can be lighted in any color for any event - green and white tonight for your team’s colors? No problem.
CLUB 33 – Open Air Lobby Bar
Named after Walt Disney’s personal private bar hidden in the original Disneyland and closed to all but celebrities, Private Paradise CLUB 33 serves up the same exclusive experience in a swanky tropical setting. Designer John Giovanni explains, “We have stayed in some of the nicest villas in the world that also have bars but it’s simply not an elegant experience without a fully stocked bar, tall delicate glassware and top-
notch bartender to make you the finest craft cocktails. That’s why we hired an outside catering company to deliver all those things surrounding the dining hours when guests will be dining at the villa.
Club 33 boasts a 70-inch tv and is another great place to watch a sporting event with DTS surround sound.
Elite Traveler Magazine calls it "Pure hedonistic delight" & "the most unique and seriously fun paradise!"
