For the uber well-heeled traveler, a visit to the private island owned by Sir Richard Branson—founder of the Virgin Group brand—is paradise on earth. The island has a maximum 28-person capacity and charges US$47,000 per night for the full island, or more than US$1,600 per person per night. Celebrities, royalty and those with megahigh net worth have flocked there as a retreat. The 74-acre/30-hectare island is located north of Virgin Gorda's northernmost tip. It has two high-end, Balinese-style lodging options: the Great House and Bali Houses. Both provide incredible views of the ocean.
Visitors to this private island will enjoy activities such as tennis, sailing, snorkeling or kite surfing, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a day on the beach or at the spa. Dining is undoubtedly an unforgettable and unique experience as top chefs prepare cuisine especially for guests, as well as set up beach barbecues on Turtle Beach or serve sushi and other delights poolside.
Necker Island is accessible by plane via connection from San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Barbados or Antigua to Beef Island, Tortola, where you will take a 30-minute private boat transfer. The island is also accessible by helicopter.
