Overview
Necker Island is Sir Richard Branson’s home and one of his favorite hideaways. He first purchased the 74 acre island in 1978 and it opened as a luxury retreat available for private hire in 1984. The Island is rented privately for up to 48 guests who are outnumbered by a team of over 100 fabulous staff on island who ensure that every need is met, providing first class service.
A stunning eleven-bedroom main house and eight separate Balinese houses, all have sweeping ocean views. The Main House is the center of casual social activity and includes indoor and outdoor dining areas, handsome Balinese-style interiors for lounging and reading, and a game area with a full-size snooker table and the latest table games. Each of the guest rooms in the main house has terrace views over neighboring islands and ocean and the Master suite has a Jacuzzi and large private terrace with panoramic views. The living areas are large and light illuminated by vast skylights. Wide louvered windows open to the ocean breezes. A raised gallery overlooks an interior garden of lush tropical vegetation. Dining can be a formal or informal experience whenever and wherever the group pleases as there are multiple choices on a variety of dining areas and terraces.
The additional Balinese villas dotted around the island offer romantic views and two small shared pools. In addition to the floodlit tennis courts, there are myriad water sports available to the guests including sailing, water skiing, wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving & fishing.
The new beach pavilion offers a dining area as well as a Beach pool with a waterfall and swim up bar. Of course, there are also the fabulous sand beaches for just relaxing in the sun and the incredible turquoise water that makes the BVI’s the pearls of the Caribbean. For those who wish to explore a bit, Virgin Gorda is just a 10-15 minute boat ride away.
