"A private Caribbean island purchased by Sir Richard Branson in 2007, composed of four luxury estates spread across 132 acres of tropical forest and sandy beaches; each estate accommodates roughly two dozen guests and combines contemporary cliffside cottages with plentiful pools, an in-house chef, dedicated bartender/barista and an attentive staff. The island emphasizes curated activities—golf-cart scavenger hunts, Hobie Cat races, themed dinners, morning hikes and yoga—that foster group bonding while also allowing for solitary moments amid jungles, beaches and dramatic coastal vistas." - Alexandra Cheney

"Moskito Island — where Paris Hilton spent her honeymoon — is an unspoiled, exclusive private island. There are three enormous, free-standing, contemporary estates with multiple bedrooms (buddymoon, anyone?), private chefs, huge pools, and panoramic views, plus all the fun vacation stuff you'd expect like snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, and frolicking on white-sand beaches." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"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.
