Necker Island (British Virgin Islands)

Sir Richard Branson’s 74-acre private paradise in the British Virgin Islands is perhaps one of the most idyllic places in the Caribbean. When on Necker you dictate the pace and the mood as life on the Island is all about you, your friends or family and having a good time.  With a maximum capacity of 28 guests, the staff out-numbers the guests.  The choices of things to do, see, eat and drink are endless, and their team is available to take care of every whim.

About

Necker Island was purchased by British entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson in the late 70’s as a vacation home.  The 74-acre island was barren and uninhabited when Sir Richard acquired it. The island is surrounded by coral reefs and marked by sandy beaches, striking rock formations and soaring hills overlooking breathtaking Caribbean seascapes.  Lavish tropical gardens now bloom throughout the once arid island, providing a haven for exotic birds, fish, insects and reptiles.

Location

Necker Island is located in the British Virgin Islands, a stunning and unspoilt area of the Caribbean. You can reach Necker via San Juan (Puerto Rico), St Thomas, Antigua or Barbados followed by a connecting flight to Beef Island, Tortola. From Beef Island there’s a 30 minute transfer by our private launch. You can also reach Necker by helicopter.

Accommodations

You have your choice of rooms in The Great House or in one of the six individual Bali Houses.  The Great House, a majestic and airy villa with one-of-a-kind Balinese furnishings and art, is home to eight guest rooms, each with four poster king sized beds with mosquito nets and ensuite bathrooms and terraces over neighboring islands and ocean. The spacious second-floor master suite has its own Jacuzzi and a large terrace with panoramic sea views.  The six unique Bali houses dotted over the island are perfect for tropical seclusion. Three houses have three tiered levels with alfresco style living and were built in Bali, dismantled and then reassembled on Necker Island.  The other three are spacious one level suites. Each house has access to pools and of course stunning views of the ocean or across the island.   They are a short walk from the Main House. Native stone, huge hardwood beams and bamboo walls and ceilings augment the Balinese feel.
