Richard Branson's Moskito Island Unveiled Two Luxe New Villas

"A 125-acre private island in the British Virgin Islands purchased in 2007 by Richard Branson, this property sits across crystalline waters from Necker Island and pairs unspoiled Caribbean surroundings with high-end private-home hospitality. Operated through Virgin Limited Edition, the island offers exclusive buyouts of multiple grand estates — including newly added properties — that emphasize privacy, glamour and bespoke service. Typical stays are designed for groups and include a dedicated estate manager and private chef, with meals, drinks, watersports and personalized itineraries often included; low-season rates start around $17,500 per night (based on a four-night minimum at one estate). The overall experience is a secluded, luxurious escape that blends resort-level amenities with the feel of a private home." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
