Tapering sandbars and shallow coves punctuate the shoreline, and flat planes of sugar-white sand form an almost unbroken garland of pristine beaches. Like a vision of Eden, Necker Island juts up from the ocean a mile north of Virgin Gorda in the celebrated British Virgin Islands. Totally private, Necker has only one residence, a magnificent villa of breathtaking Balinese design. Beneath huge peaked roofs, this unique structure houses ten bedrooms, all with en 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. Much of the furniture was specially commissioned. The designs are exquisite, the coverings handmade. On Necker, the pace is tropical, the ambience exotic.
