Make an Enquiry

 

Welcome! You’ve just arrived at Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson’s private island paradise. This is barefoot luxury in a setting that’s just about as exclusive as it gets. Necker Island is located in the Caribbean in the beautiful and unspoiled British Virgin Islands. At 74 acres, Necker sits in turquoise waters surrounded by coral reefs and fringed with beautiful white sandy beaches. 

 

What makes Necker so special?

Necker Island is much more than just the sum of its individual parts. Necker is undoubtedly the definition of a luxury island, but a version of luxury isn’t just about inviting beds, top class food, the latest activities and the best facilities, although you can of course expect all of these. In the past it’s been called barefoot luxury, but the feeling we aim to create when you arrive on the island, whether it’s your first time or your 15th, is one of coming home. Unless you feel completely at ease from the moment you step onto the island we haven’t done our jobs properly. This is your home, but one where you don’t have to lift a finger. You may well forget what ‘real life’ is like during your stay, but that’s ok!

  • Complete privacy - your own private island allows you to truly escape

  • Wildlife - A stunning array of wildlife can be seen from lemurs to giant tortoises

  • Great House Bedrooms - This spacious al fresco Balinese house boasts amazing panoramic views of the Caribbean, the Atlantic and neighbouring islands. Each of the 11 guest rooms in the Great House has a balcony and all come with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. There's also a bunk room sleeping up to six children. Whilst on the upper level you’ll find the stunning Master Suite, complete with private outdoor hot tub and sundeck.

  • Leha Lo - Nestled high above the rocks and a short walk down from the Great House, Leha Lo is a private standalone room with stunning 180-degree sea views, and features a wraparound terrace with daybeds.

  • Bali Lo Complex - Bali Lo, Bali Buah and Bali Kukila are built in the middle of the island and boast wonderful views with a large private pool. Bali Lo is a two-tiered Balinese house with a lounge on the ground floor and the bedroom is above it on the first floor. Bali Buah is adjacent to Bali Lo and features a large balcony with seating and a hammock. Bali Kukila is a spacious room with views out to the sea and a spectacular private terrace.

  • The Great House - Perched at the island’s highest point, the Great House is where people come together, to dine, party or just relax. The house has a wraparound terrace with hammocks and sofas, and this being Necker Island, naturally you can expect a fully stocked bar. Up on the roof you’ll find a cosy four-person hot tub – perfect for sipping champagne as you watch the sun set

  • The Beach house - Right on the island main beach, the Beach House sits in between the island’s two tennis courts and the Caribbean Sea. With an impressive bar, space for games tables and an enormous 26-foot sofa, the Beach House is the place for relaxed lunches and enjoying the sea breezes in between dips into the crystal clear waters

  • The Beach Pool - Just next to the Beach House, the Beach Pool has a freeform infinity pool complete with a swim-up bar where guests can sit and enjoy a drink. There’s also a huge hot tub right on the beach with space for more than 30 people. Within the pool complex is our thatched Crocodile Pavilion with its large solid teak crocodile table

  • The Beaches - Since this is the Caribbean, there are plenty of places on Necker Island to lie on the beach and soak up some sun. Main Beach is where most of our water activities are based whereas Turtle Beach is a more peaceful palm-fringed beach, with hammocks hanging between the trees
