You can "rent" the whole island for yourself and your guests for a tropical vacation, staying in the cliff-side villas with your own pool and never-ending views to the sea. Virgin Atlantic owner Sir Richard Branson purchased this previously uninhabited island between Tortola and Anegada in the '70s. He has slowly developed several residences in addition to the main house, an airy Balinese Villa. A favourite with royalty, rock stars, and movie stars, Necker Island is the ultimate private tropical vacation getaway in the Caribbean. The staff outnumber the guests here, providing first class service and catering to your every whim. Enjoy a tropical vacation 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.
