Full accommodation information
Hotel information
Necker Island is Sir Richard Branson's private island paradise and is situated in the British Virgin Islands, a stunning and unspoilt area of the Caribbean. Arrive by speedboat or fly in by helicopter - then relax in pure paradise.
Full buyouts are available to book throughout most the of year and can accommodate up to 48 adults and six children, for the ultimate private island experience. On certain weeks, you can still enjoy the Necker experience as a couple, solo traveller or family by booking Great House rooms, Master Suite, Bali Lo, Bali Hi or Temple House for an individual stay.
Guests can take a suite in the Great House on the heart of the island, or one of the ten Bali Houses dotted across the 74 acres. Designed to take advantage of the island's natural beauty and unparalleled vistas, no room is the same, but you can expect airy bedrooms, sun-drenched terraces, infinity pools and a dusting of Necker magic.
With sandy white beaches and crystal-clear water, you’ll likely experience the magic of the island from the comfort of your beach hammock or one of the five infinity pools. There are ways to stay active too, with floodlit tennis courts and all the watersports you could imagine, plus spa therapists at your beck and call and chefs creating mouthwatering menus. Make sure you don’t miss out on Necker’s famous floating sushi bar in the beach pool! And once the sun has set... the party starts.
