Necker Island
Balinese-styled opulence in the British Virgin Islands

Necker Island is likely the name on the tip of many a tongue when tasked to think of the idyllic private island getaway. Comprising of a clutch of Balinese style residences that endure today, some 30 years later, the island boasts spacious rooms and private houses that make use of al fresco layouts to maximise the stunning vistas afforded by the island. Fully stocked private bars plus the sociable space of the Great House give ample room to unwind. Dining at the Great House remains fresh and varied, and can expand out onto the island’s wilder spaces – picnics and barbecues on the beach and private dining overlooking the ocean, the ever-attractive options.
