1. Necker Island
British Virgin Islands
From N/A per night (on enquiry)
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.2/10
Welcome! You’ve just arrived at Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson’s private island paradise. This is barefoot luxury in a setting that’s just about as exclusive as it gets. Necker Island is located in the Caribbean in the beautiful and unspoiled British Virgin Islands.
Necker Island can be booked exclusively year-round. That’s just you plus your closest friends and family on your own private Caribbean island. One word of warning: once you’ve seen the world in Necker colours, you might not want to leave!
Necker Island is normally hired exclusively, but on selected weeks of the year known as ‘Celebration Weeks’ you can book individual rooms on the island. Come and make yourself at home and enjoy all the island has to offer, whether as a couple, a family or with a small group of friends!
2. Jade Mountain
St Lucia
From $1,500 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.2/10
Rising majestically above the 600 acre beach front resort of Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain Resort on St. Lucia’s south-western Caribbean coastline is a cornucopia of organic architecture celebrating St. Lucia’s stunning scenic beauty.
Architect owner Nick Troubetzkoy has expanded upon his philosophy of building in harmony with Caribbean nature in his creation of Jade Mountain St. Lucia. The bold architectural design – individual bridges leading to exceptional infinity pool sanctuaries and rugged stoned-faced columns reaching towards the sky – makes Jade Mountain St. Lucia one of the Caribbean’s most mesmerizing resort experiences.
Expect grand sweeping spaces where bedroom, living area and an extravagant private infinity pool glide into one another to form extraordinary platforms floating out into nature. With the fourth wall entirely absent, Jade Mountain’s sanctuaries are stage-like settings from which to embrace the full glory of St. Lucia’s Pitons World Heritage Site, and of course, the eternal Caribbean Sea.
