Surrounded by the sparkling blue Caribbean sea of the British Virgin Islands, Necker Island exudes the elegance and lifestyle of the rich and famous. You can "rent" the whole island for yourself and your guests, staying in the cliff-side villas with your own pool and never-ending views to the sea. Virgin Atlantic owner, Richard Branson, purchased this previously uninhabited island between Tortola and Anegada in the '70's. He has slowly developed several residences in addition to the main house, an airy Balinese Villa. A favorite with royalty, rock stars, and movie stars, Necker Island is the ultimate private getaway in the Caribbean.
The staff outnumbers the guests here, providing first class service and catering to your every whim. Enjoy a tropical drink in the indoor garden, or on one of the terraces overlooking the British Virgin Islands only a few minutes away by helicopter or boat. Meals are as informal or formal as you desire, and at the pace, time and location of your choosing. Your staff can prepare a light lobster lunch with fresh fruit served in the shade of the pagoda, at the beach pool's floating dining pavilion, or a more formal affair in the 26-seat dining room with silver, lace, linen and crystal place settings. Pamper yourself and absorb the enchanting feel of Necker Island.
Necker Island provides you with the space and time to do just as you like...when you like, escape to an unforgettable island happily out of step with the world. The ultimate all-inclusive private island resort.
The main residence on Necker Island is the Great House which is situated on top of Devil's Hill and boasts breathtaking views from every side. Both the indoor and outdoor dining areas together with the main house benefit from the gentle sea breeze entering the open sides of the house. The Great House contains 10 bedrooms including the Master Bedroom.
The Master Bedroom is the only room on the first floor and has a wonderful balcony providing superb views over the island and surrounding coral reef. Its private Jacuzzi is the perfect venue for sipping champagne whilst taking in the beautiful sunset.
The 9 bedrooms on the ground floor of the house each have their own balconies and bathrooms. Fabrics from Bali and natural stone from the island ensure that each bedroom offer the ultimate in luxury and Balinese style.
In addition to the Great House the island offers two individual one bedroom Balinese Cottages. These two little houses have been shipped over from Bali and have been reconstructed on the island. They provide the ultimate accommodation in terms of privacy and relaxation especially for special occasions such as a honeymoon or anniversary. Bali Hi is at the end of the island taking advantage of romantic views over the ocean. Together with a plunge pool and steps down to the beach you are constantly served by the gentle approach of relaxation. Bali Lo, more centrally located on the island, boasts a private pool and surrounding vegetation which provides privacy to do what you want. Both cottages offer open air sitting and dining areas awesome.
It’s hard to imagine running out of things to do on Necker Island. Necker’s more-than-ample staff is available to customize activities around the island’s several lovely beaches, hiking trails, well-equipped sea-view gymnasium, and seemingly endless watersports such as windsurfing, water-skiing, sailing on hobie catamarans, Sunfish and Catamarans, fishing, snorkeling or kayaking. Right off the Main House’s terrace there is a large invisible-edge pool which appears to fall into the Caribbean, and the three separate houses on Necker have their own pools. Our new beach pavilion offers a dining area as well as a Beach pool with a waterfall and swim up bar.
