Step onto the shores of Richard Brandon’s privately owned Necker Island – with 74 acres of lush-green landscapes, ringed by pristine blue waters. And that’s exactly what this Caribbean hideout is all about! The island entails a Great House, a bunkroom and six Balinese styled houses dotted around the island, accommodating a total of 30 guests. If you are not inclined towards the adventurous on-site zip line, perhaps you can relish Japanese delicacies at the Floating Sushi Bar or spend some time feeding the large flock of fauna on the island. For meals, dish out the usual and adopt the exotic – the island’s Bali Hi Beach enchants you with candle-lit dinners, large bonfires and fresh sea-food.
