Have you heard of Necker Island? If you are familiar with luxury accommodations, you may know of this destination as the private property of Sir Richard Branson. One of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, he has created a wonderfully secluded and upscale retreat in the British Virgin Islands for up to 40 visitors on the island. As might be anticipated, the retreat is designed to provide guests with the best amenities possible, and that includes those who choose the suites in the Great House.
Though there are several private houses on the island, there is also the beautiful Great House. This, as it sounds, is the gathering area for visitors, and it features all of the comforts that any Great House is expected to provide. A wonderful terrace that faces the sea views is furnished with the most iconic island décor, including hammocks and large sun beds. Oceanfront chess in the lounge? It is there. Swimming in an infinity edge pool? That is easily done, and in two different spots! Dining al fresco beneath a classic grass roof? Yes, it happens at the Great House. The popular "crow's nest" at the top of the house offers panoramic views along with a Jacuzzi for enjoying the stars.
The property also features a full bar and dining room, and you will marvel at the impressive meals that are served throughout the day. Spa services, tennis courts, and a fitness room are also here, and are all al fresco, opening to the sea views, as well.
There are nine rooms available, and they offer a range of amenities. Connecting them is possible, and is typically done numerically (i.e. #1 & 2, or #5 & 6, and so on). Each has a large en suite bath, bedding varies from bunk rooms for kids to king suites with terraces and outdoor showers for a couple.
Whether it is one opulent suite, or the entire house, a visit to the Great House Rooms on Necker Island will be an unforgettable pleasure.
Guests are encouraged to treat Necker Island like their own home and to help themselves to anything they want, at any time.
What is included? Nearly everything ! Well... almost! Whether you've hired the entire island or an individual room, the following is included : Your accommodation, all meals and drinks including all alcoholic beverages served in a variety of locations, return launch transfers from Virgin Gorda or Tortola airports, a dedicated team of over 90 staff to take care of your every wish, two freshwater infinity pools and huge jacuzzi on the beach, plus the jacuzzi in the crow's nest on the roof terrace of the Great House, two floodlit tennis courts, water-sport equipment (windsurf, kite surf, water skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving, Hobie cat, kayak, paddle board etc), WiFi internet throughout the island and the 7% local tax.
