Necker Island Necker Island

Ever dream of living like Gilligan? Make the dream a reality on Necker Island, a paradise of lush tropical greenery and white sand beaches surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

Sir Richard Branson's 74-acre private island is unquestionably the most idyllic place in the British Virgin Islands. First purchased by Richard in 1978, Necker Island is much more than the sum of its individual parts. This is the definition of a luxury private island, complete with top class food, the latest activities and the best facilities. Necker can be hired privately for large parties, or shared with other travelers during Celebration Weeks.

You'll be enchanted by the beautiful Balinese-style houses, with their teak furniture, crisp linens and amazing views of the ocean. The spacious and al fresco Great House, composed of 15 guest rooms, boasts amazing panoramic views of the Caribbean, the Atlantic and neighboring islands. Each of the bedrooms has a balcony and all come with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. Dine on sumptuous dishes in locations around the island prepared by your personal chefs, choosing the menu and the site to suit your whims.

If mood strikes, try your hand at tennis, sailing, snorkeling, or wind-surfing. Or if relaxation is more your style, unwind in the Necker Island Spa or just laze in a hammock on the beach and watch the sunlight dance on the waves.

Standing on the dazzlingly-white beach as you dig your feet into the cool wet sand, and the warm waters of the Caribbean swirl around your ankles, you'll feel that the rest of the world is a million miles away.
