Sir Richard Branson’s Tempting Offer – An Exclusive Look at Virgin Mogul’s Private Island
Don’t deny it; you wish you were Sir Richard Branson. Well, here’s your chance to get a little taste of how he lives: Book a stay on Necker, his idyllic private Caribbean island, a 74-acre piece of paradise ringed with white sand beaches, turquoise water and bountiful coral reefs. And the good news is you can show off your new lifestyle to your friends since the island can accommodate 28 guests in its eight-bedroom Great House, perched on Devil’s Hill with panoramic views of the Caribbean, Atlantic and neighboring islands, and six separate Balinese-style houses sprinkled around the island.
Not known as a bored board room kind of billionaire, Branson likes to enjoy life to its fullest, and Necker shows that off in grand style. In other words, you will not be bored either. In addition to many pools and Jacuzzis, there is Main Beach, Turtle Beach and a number of other little sandy hideaways; a Tennis Pavilion with two floodlit courts and a pro tennis coach; state-of-the-art equipment for kite surfing, windsurfing (for the old schoolers), wakeboarding, waterskiing (for the really old schoolers), sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, power boating, and even an aqua-trampoline.
