Our videographer Robert Libetti and I were invited to visit Necker by Virgin Limited Edition, Branson's company that manages the rentals of the island and his other luxurious vacation retreats, and we got to live the life of the rich and the famous from two and a half days.
We have been publishing posts about our trip this week, and there is more to come. You'll be able to find them all here.
Staying at Richard Branson's private island will cost you $42,000 a night if you rent the whole island, or just $27,000 a week if you book a villa.
The Necker villas can host 16-28 people who enjoy Bali-style accommodations, nature-inspired, open living quarters, and wildlife mise-en-scène.

Disclosure: We were flown out to Necker Island, BVI by Virgin Limited Edition, which covered our travel and lodging expenses.
The Necker Island houses feature exotic, open-air Balinese design, multi-level accommodations, pools and sweeping vistas. I stayed at Bali Lo, a villa located in the middle of the island. There are no keys, and in some cases no doors, or walls.

My villa had three levels – an entertainment area at the bottom, bedroom on the next level and a day lounge or an extra bedroom at the very top.
