When you think of eccentric Virgin CEO Richard Branson, you probably think of space travel, bungee jumping in Las Vegas, or private islands. Necker Island is Branson’s best-known island. The private island is located in the British Virgin Islands, north of Virgin Gorda. Necker is part of Virgin’s Limited Edition Portfolio, which is a collection of luxury properties.

Necker Island isn’t abandoned. It is a super-expensive luxury resort. If you want to rent a villa, you’ll pay $27,000 a week. If you want to rent the whole island, you’ll pay $42,000 a night. The Necker Villas are perfect for people who like wildlife mise-en-scene and Bali-inspired accommodations.
