Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson's private island paradise, home and favourite hideaway in the British Virgin Islands. One of the guests said it best when he said that Necker is somewhere that can't be imitated, only appreciated! Necker can be hired exclusively and also during selected 'Celebration Weeks' when couples or singles can book individual rooms and share the island 'house party' style. Located in the British Virgin Islands to the north of Virgin Gorda, one of the country's larger islands. Its Caribbean location means that Necker's 74 acres are surrounded by beautiful turquoise waters, coral reefs and gorgeous sandy beaches.
