Sir Richard Branson’s paradise in the British Virgin Islands would be the perfect choice for those who are considering their first private island holiday. Branson purchased Necker Island back in 1978 and has transformed the forsaken landscape over the years, turning it into one of the world’s’ most well-known and admired island retreats. The 74-acre Caribbean paradise is available to rent exclusively and makes for a fantastic base for all kinds of adventures. Sprawled across the island are Balinese-style guest rooms, sleeping up to 48 adults and six children. All of the luxurious rooms offer unparalled views, complete privacy and that sprinkle of Necker magic.
From multi-generational family holidays to corporate escapes, Necker’s team can tailor any experience for the guests. It’s also possible to book individual rooms during ‘Celebration Weeks’ throughout the year. This is unique when it comes to island luxury and makes it an excellent option for a honeymoon, proposal, or anniversary escape.
There are an array of things to do on the island; home to a number of exotic wildlife animals one can fully immerse themselves in the nature around them. From sandy white beaches to crystal clear water, there is an endless list of activities on Necker Island to keep you busy throughout your stay. Land-lovers can enjoy everything from yoga to tennis and water lovers can learn to kitesurf or embark on a sailing race around the island. And when the sun goes down… the party starts.
