I have always enjoyed traveling to an island be it, Hawaii, Bermuda, Aruba, Martinique, or the Bahamas. They each bring their own sense of culture, style and comfort. There is one island however that brings exclusivity, luxury, and pure elegance worthy of being mentioned and highlighted on our blog. Privé International always looks for exquisite destinations to offer our members and Necker Island is one of those places.

Necker Island

Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson’s private island paradise, is situated in the British Virgin Islands, a stunning and unspoilt area of the Caribbean. Necker Island is is Sir Richard Branson’s home and favourite hideaway. He first purchased the island in 1978 and it opened as a luxury retreat available for private hire in 1984.

At 74 acres, Necker sits in turquoise waters surrounded by coral reefs and fringed with beautiful white sandy beaches. Necker can become your own private hideaway; away from the stresses and strains of daily life. With a maximum capacity of 28 guests Necker consists of the 8 bedrooms in the Great House and six beautiful private Balinese Houses. Necker can be hired exclusively or if you’re not looking to hire the Island privately, you can still enjoy the Necker experience during Celebration Weeks when individual rooms can be booked by singles or couples to enjoy our fabulous Island paradise ’house party’ style. There is a team of 60 fabulous staff on island plus more than 200 flamingos who are all part of the Necker family!

The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences is the world’s premiere organization for awarding excellence in travel, cuisine, luxury products and services.

Based in New York City, the Academy is governed by an international Board of Trustees. All members of the Board are respected leaders in the industry and are, themselves, sophisticated world travelers. Valuable sources around the globe routinely submit nominations to the Board for review. The Board then refines the selection to those who qualify for the ultimate evaluation.

Among the elite membership of the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences are five-star quality hotels, resorts, spas, airlines, cruise lines, automobiles, products, restaurants and chefs. Invitations to join the Academy are based on the nominee’s total commitment to excellence within its category and classification, and the reflection of that commitment through its delivery of consistent excellence to its guests or customers.

These rigorous standards set the American Academy’s International Star Diamond Award above and beyond all others.
