Sir Richard Branson is well-known for being the founder and owner of the multinational business conglomerate Virgin Group. He’s also known for his adventurous lifestyle and rock-star approach to business. But when he’s not traveling the world or building international companies, he’s residing in the British Virgin Islands, where he owns a private island named Necker Island.

It’s known as the ultimate Caribbean hideaway, a playground filled with dining experiences, outdoor activities, and luxurious rooms. Being surrounded by water on the exclusive island, some exciting activities are kite surfing, water skiing, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, and subwinging. If you prefer to go underwater, you can also go scuba diving or snorkeling.

But even on dry land, there are plenty of things to do. If you don’t feel like being lazy on the beach, you can play tennis, do yoga, go hiking, or even hit the gym. If you want total relaxation, Necker Island also offers spa treatments.

You can rent the entire island for yourself and your friends (up to 48 people) or even book a single room during some periods of the year. The visit comes with a hefty price tag, but you can’t put a price on pure happiness, can you? Paradise isn’t lost after all.
