Richard Branson's private Necker Island resort has been re-built after a devastating fire in 2011. The 74-acre property is available for rent for just shy of $60,000 a night or $412,000 per week.


The island can be rented exclusively for up to 30 adults, and the compound features eight guest rooms, each with a balcony, king-sized bed and en-suite bathroom. However, the best view comes from a 1,500-square-foot master suite that gives guests panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands.

The Great House was destroyed by a fire in August of 2011, which was reportedly caused by lightning from Tropical Storm Irene, and though other parts of the island have been open since the blaze.


Branson said in a statement, "Necker Island has been my home for more than 30 years and for me it is the most beautiful place in the world. The brand new Great House is the heart of the island and I am thrilled with the results so far. The opening of the Great House signals a new dawn for Necker which I’m very excited about."

Branson bought the island for 180,000 pounds in 1979 and turned it into the lux resort, and guests over the years have included everyone from Princess Diana to Oprah Winfrey.
