I want a resort where cartel bosses, Russian oligarchs, British bankers and American tech billionaires might rub shoulders with each other, but where Kingston yardies or Dominican gang-bangers would never be admitted. Where even the security personnel wear expensive suits and only the cleaning staff and potential victims actually come from the local islands.


I'm definitely not thinking lawless area, more a private resort where the local police hesitate to make trouble without any actual evidence of truly serious crimes. Of course, agents of the managment will recruit sex workers, boxers and MMA fighters from any number of lawless urban areas within easy trafficking distance, but the resort itself should be somewhere ridiculously rich people can feel safe.

If land-based, I would argue for a continental location, certainly less private, but so much easier to smuggle peoples in. A small private island is much easier to secure, but sneaking "potential victims" in multiple times may prove to be a challenge.

I would suggest a small(er) luxury cruise ship moving around the Caribbean.
Google Caribbean’s Small-Ship Cruise Lines for ideas.
Of course, it would be subject to far more attention from various TLA, especially drug-related agencies.
But the privacy and ease of relocation may trump that concern.
The fight arenas themselves could be onboard, or land-based, rotating between locations at various port of calls.

Another possibility would be to hide behind a cockfighting setup. It is apparently legal in several places, but sufficiently "disturbing" that law enforcement probably wouldn't wonder why a company organize a discrete private event for rich elite late at night ...
