A favourite hideaway

A private island, favourite hideaway
Sometimes a vacation escape can feel more like a tourist trap.  The beach isn't as secluded as you thought it would be. Hence the 8:00 a.m. run to the lounge chair to "secure" your spot with a towel, for example. Since not everyone can afford to whisk off to Necker Island (Richard Branson's famous island resort).
We’re back and opened for business! Our team has been working extremely hard since the fire on 22nd August that destroyed the Great House.
Plans to rebuild the Great House are already under way and in the meantime the island will be able to cater for slightly smaller groups to stay on island with the newly refurbished six Bali Houses, as well as Sir Richard Branson’s private home Temple House and his 105ft luxury catamaran Necker Belle, to substitute for the bedrooms lost in the Great House.
As for the Great House itself, much of the beautiful features of the former Great house will be incorporated into the new design to ensure it retains its authentic Balinese style with panoramic views of the Caribbean but will include a couple of new and innovative twists!
