Accommodations on Necker Island
Beneath huge peaked roofs, this unique structure houses 10 bedrooms, all with in-suite bathrooms and private balconies that offer sweeping vistas of the sea and neighboring islands. The living and dining areas are cavernous. Tropical sunlight streams through vast skylights in the vaulted ceiling. Wide louvered windows open to the exhilarating ocean breezes. A raised gallery overlooks an interior garden of lush palms and ferns.
Outside, the villa is encircled by broad, galleried terraces of York stone. A patio is set for dining al fresco. All about, comfortable lounge furniture invites languid relaxation or quiet reading. From this upper terrace, fresh water cascades into a whirlpool on the terrace below and flows into the enormous swimming pool, its water as clear as Baccarat crystal.
Your Own Personal Staff
On Necker Island, the staff outnumbers the guests, providing first-class service and catering to your every whim. Enjoy a tropical drink in the indoor garden or on one of the terraces with picturesque views of the British Virgin Islands. Meals are as informal or formal as you desire, and at the pace, time and location of your choice. Your staff can prepare a light lobster lunch with fresh fruit served in the shade of the pagoda at the beach pools floating dining pavilion, or a more formal affair in the 26-seat dining room with silver, lace, linen and crystal place settings.
