Necker Island

RICHARD BRANSON'S LITTLE PARADISE

Welcome to Necker Island, a private paradise islet in the British Virgin Islands, surrounded by turquoise waters, coral reefs teeming with fish and white-sand beaches. This idyllic jewel of nearly 30 hectares, nestled between Tortola and Anegada, offers one of the most unspoiled hideaways in the Caribbean. Owned by Richard Branson since 1978, Necker Island accommodates no more than forty guests for a most exclusive experience. Scattered across the island, nine luxurious villas blend into the vegetation in the heart of the estate or overlook the coastline, sporting a soothing Balinese style. Perched on Necker’s highest point and also built in the Balinese style, the Great House is home to 11 rooms opening onto the Caribbean Sea, each with a balcony to enjoy the enchanting landscape. On the upper level, the Master Suite reveals a private outdoor Jacuzzi that will delight couples. The Great House is also a meeting place where guests can enjoy themed dinners, a cocktail bar, a cosy terrace fitted with hammocks... A few minutes' walk away, you can easily reach Necker's main beach and its Beach House, a temple of recreation featuring a bar, an infinity pool, gaming tables, sofas and an array of water sports. Upstairs, a huge dining table allows guests to dine with ocean views, whilst at Turtle Beach lunch is enjoyed barbecue-style. For an unusual culinary experience, don't miss the sushi kayak! And since Necker is located in the Caribbean, the island abounds with intimate beaches where you can bask in the sun, with only the palm trees for company...
