The Branson Beach Estate

The Branson Beach Estate

The British Virgin Islands

Three villas sprawl out on the unspoiled headland of a private island, available for individual or exclusive use.

Mangrove trees carpet the northwest tip of Moskito Island, culminating in a craggy promontory that rises above a white-sand shore — and the Branson Beach Estate’s three villas lie claim to it all. You can stay in just one villa with your own pool and access to the private beach, or revel in the luxury of having the whole estate to yourself and your family and friends.

Whichever option you choose, you’ll spend your days unwinding and exploring in peace, dining on bespoke menus crafted by attentive chefs, and taking in the island’s charms that extend beyond the estate. Necker Island, also owned by Sir Richard Branson, is just a short boat ride away and works in tandem with Branson Beach Estate, should you need more rooms for a larger group.

OUR OPINION:

Combining resort-style facilities with enviable privacy, we suggest Branson Beach Estate for family gatherings and all-out celebrations for up to 22 guests. Consider it your own Caribbean cocoon for parties, relaxation, and exploration.

Rooms

Just three Balinese-style villas sit on this swathe of the island, connected by wooden walkways and sleeping between six and eight guests each. Headland House stands on an outcrop, with three bedrooms, while Mangrove Villa has a more sheltered setting among the tropical foliage with four bedrooms. Beach Villa, another four-bedroom option, lies just steps away from the sandy shore. All have a pool, hot tub, kitchen, and indoor-outdoor living spaces.

Location

The Branson Beach Estate is located on the secluded northeast tip of privately owned Moskito Island, two miles (3.2 km) from Necker Island. You’re free to make the most of the facilities beyond the estate, including walking trails and tennis courts. The Branson Beach Estate is around 30 minutes by speedboat from the main airport on Beef Island, where a member of the team will greet you on arrival.
