Necker Island
{short description of image}
Necker Island was developed by and is owned by British entrepreneur Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Atlantic Airways and the numerous other companies run by the Virgin Group.

The original intent was to build a home that Branson's family and friends could use for holidays, while keeping the island as unspoiled as possible. When the project was completed, it seemed such a waste to use the house only a few weeks a year, that Branson decided to make it available for rent.

There are no 7:30am breakfast gongs, no harassed desk clerks hammering on your door and asking when you are checking out. Life on Necker Island proceeds at the pace you set. That is what this piece of paradise is, a place to escape and do whatever you want, a place where even the tautest nerves can relax.
