The luxurious Virgin Islands seem to be created for those who crave peace and quiet away from civilization. The cost of rest on them is incredibly high, but this does not become an obstacle for the moneybags. The rich and famous who long for solitude find it on private property owned by British billionaire R. Branson.
The most expensive resort in the world
Many adherents of ecological tourism would like to be on an island lost in the Caribbean, but everyone is stopped by the fabulous sums that will have to be paid out per night (from two thousand dollars per person and more).
So, the most expensive and prestigious resort in the world is called Necker Island in honor of the commander of the Dutch squadron J. de Necker. Surrounded by coral reefs, azure seas, golden beaches, the island is the perfect place for a relaxing and secluded holiday.
Acquisition historyislands
When today's billionaire was 26 years old, he fell in love with a girl and really wanted to make a good impression on her. The young man pretended to want to acquire Necker Island. The Virgin Islands have always been considered a paradise for the richest people in the world and have been associated with luxury. The young man had no money at that time, but he swore to himself that sooner or later he would acquire the pearl of the Caribbean.
Over time, all the dreams of Richard Branson came true: he is married to the same girl, and he owns the most expensive island in the world. Necker Branson, who owns the largest corporation, went to the Virgin Islands in 1978 in search of promising real estate. When he found out that the very island he dreamed about was up for sale, he immediately bought an uninhabited piece of land.
The government of the archipelago has set strict conditions for the owner: he must develop the resort, otherwise Necker (island) will return to the state. Sir Branson complied and turned a 300,000 square meter abandoned tropical paradise into the best vacation spot on earth, where many Hollywood celebrities and famous politicians aspire to go.
Luxury hotel
Invited designers and architects from different countries have equipped a deserted corner, and the result of their work is a wonderful villa with 10 halls in a colorful Balinese style. Later, five more, smaller sizes appeared, where guests can comfortably settle in.
Opened in 1984one of the most luxurious hotels on the planet, part of Branson's massive Virgin Limited Edition chain.
Accommodation for 28 guests, and a team of 60 people will do everything to make the holiday spent at the resort, remembered as the best adventure. Trained staff will cater to every whim of guests and provide a high level of service.
True, it is necessary to make an amendment and say that Necker (island) is rented only as a whole, and for 50 thousand dollars a day it turns into a closed club for its own. This gives those who shoot it a unique opportunity to relax in the company and arrange just the kind of vacation that everyone will enjoy.
