I was amazingly lucky to stay on Nevker island in April of 2011. We arrived by sea plane right in the ocean next to the beach and were picked up by a boat full of friendly staff. As everyone else has said, the staff is amazing. They will get you anything you would possibly want or need! They are nice and fun and we considered them more like friends when we left than just the staff of the island. breakfast starts at 8am and while you are eating the spa staff and watersports staff will come up and ask what every person wants to do for the day. you name it, and you can do it. We went sailing on hobie cats, snorkeling (my forst time!), cliff jumping, wakeboarding, and so much more. The food was absolutely amazing every day. It is very fancy and we like more simple things. All we did was ask and they made us cheeseburgers for lunch. we even had chicken parm for dinner one night because one person loved it. I could go on forever about how amazing this place was. I just hope that I can return one day.


p.s. if you have never showered in a bathroom with no walls, you should! its amazing!!!

Necker island is located close to beef island in the bvi.We flew from London to Antigua and after a brief stop, onto beef island where we were picked up by speedboat and transferred to Necker.This was probably one of the best holidays we have ever had and the main reason for this was the staff.Nothing was too much trouble and if you wanted anything different you only had to ask.There were a few themed nights such as casino night,Pirate night (bbq on the beach in pirate outfits) and disco night.all great fun.The chef had previously worked for raymond blanc at Le Manoir and the food was seriously outstanding.A personal favourite was the lunchtime the chef appeared out of thin air pushing a canoe of sushi in the swimming pool,which seemed even more surreal as Richard Branson joined us as we stood in the shallow end of the pool drinking champagne and eating sushi.All the staff without exception were tuned into what the guests needs were,without ever being pushy.For example if we wanted to go para gliding(all water sports are free) they would suggest the afternoon for paragliding and perhaps snorkeling of a morning when the weather was calmer.The only area that could have been improved was the room, which was rather small with no air con,which allowed a few mozzies into the room.However you are not in the room for very long so this is a minor point.If you truely want the best vacation in a beautiful location with amazing staff, excellent food and fantastic memories ,you will be very hard pressed to find anywhere better than Necker island.

Its Brilliant, Ive Saved Up For Years To Stay Here!!! It Wonderful Everyone Is Looked After :-D I Would Totally Recommend This!!!

Unbeatable - Sir Richard Branson's private residence in the BVI leaves nothing to be desired - a true all-in full-on experience of pure indulgence!

60 superb, vibrant, young staff for 28 guests maximum makes it impossible not to be spoiled, each one knowing your name within ten minutes. Top class food, unlimited drink of any description and an island paradise which you scoot around on electric buggies...

No room keys. Ever experienced that!? No need. We're all together and on an island, what's to happen? And that's the feeling of unbelievable security and comfort engendered in this island paradise.

Taste and style ooze from every corner of every room and no detail has been overlooked - help yourself to the basket of sunoils and lotions dotted around the place, a cigar from the box or a drink from the bar on the odd occasion the barman is not around.

Ride the catamarans, windsurfers, take a lesson in kiteboarding and probably see Richard out there hopping the waves if he's home.

Went there for business, stayed there for pleasure. No superlatives can rank this experience accurately. If you're fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit, do it. Unreservedly recommended in every sense.
