A Private Island Paradise in the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Escape to Necker Island, a hidden gem in the British Virgin Islands, offering an exclusive and pristine Caribbean retreat owned by Sir Richard Branson.
Welcome to Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson’s private island paradise in the British Virgin Islands, a stunning and unspoiled area of the Caribbean. At 74 acres, Necker sits in turquoise waters surrounded by coral reefs and fringed with beautiful white sandy beaches. Necker Island is the perfect playground to explore both on land and on water.
Getting Active (Or Not)
If you don’t fancy relaxing next to one of the infinity pools, there is an endless list of activities the island offers to keep you busy throughout your stay. With steady trade winds, warm turquoise waters, beautiful trails and two tennis courts, Necker Island is a perfect playground for any number of sports. You will see a stunning array of wildlife on the island during your stay. You can even get involved with feeding them. There are lemurs, flamingos, scarlet ibis, giant tortoises, iguanas and so much more.
Informal or Formal Dining Options
Fine food is the highlight of any guest’s stay and rates are fully inclusive of all food and all drinks, including champagne. Dining can be formal or informal, inside or out, themed or traditional or a mixture of everything - think relaxed lunches on Turtle Beach to romantic dinners on the Great House roof terrace.
The warm Caribbean Sea and fine white sand await. Main Beach is where most of the water activities are based whilst Turtle Beach is a more peaceful palm-fringed beach - think hammocks swinging in the breeze.
Find Your Inner Zen
Find your inner zen with a yoga class or strengthen your core with a fitness coach, at various locations on the island. It’s a great way to appreciate the island’s spectacular sunsets.
Explore beyond Necker Island and join in for an unforgettable half day excursion in the British Virgin Islands, visiting Willy T's, an iconic floating pirate ship turned bar or Cooper Island Resort, with laid back beach bar vibes.
Accommodations
Accommodation on Necker Island include 12 bedrooms in the Great House and three complexes comprising 12 individual Bali Houses dotted around the island. The total number of guests that can easily be accommodated on Necker Island is 48 plus six children in the bunkroom.
One of its great charms – unusual for a top-end luxury resort ¬ is the relaxed, informal, and home-away from-home vibe that reflects true, of course, to Sir Richard as a person. It has been his home of 40 years now after all. You’re welcomed as a member of the family, and leave having made lifelong friends.
And of course, being Necker, you never know who you’ll be sitting next to at dinner.
The island can be booked exclusively, or during selected weeks you can book an individual room or share it as a small group. Isn’t it about time you experienced – and became part of – the legend of Necker?
