Richard Branson’s Private Caribbean Island Has a New Villa  

It’s one of the most exclusive places in all of the Caribbean: Moskito Island, Sir Richard Branson’s private-island community in the heart of the British Virgin Islands. 

And now Branson has launched another new villa option for those looking for one of the Caribbean’s ultimate vacation experiences. 

It’s called The Village, and it’s a new nine-bedroom estate that becomes the fourth “estate” on Moskito Island available for rentals, joining The Branson Estate, The Oasis Estate and The Point Estate. 

“Since our anticipated opening late-last year, we’ve humbly been celebrated on the world stage for delivering an exceptional and extremely unique hospitality experience in the Caribbean that goes beyond the realms of traditional luxury,” said Jon Brown, Managing Director at Virgin Limited Edition. “The debut of The Village is the next phase in the continuous evolution of Moskito Island – a private island escape unlike any other.”

Moskito Island officially debuted as part of the Virgin Limited Edition collection at the end of last year, joining sister island (also owned by Branson) Necker Island. 

“A decade in the making, The Village Estate takes luxury to new heights, much like its sister estates, with an impressively striking design, state-of-the-art creative amenities and unspoiled panoramic views in the most private of settings,” Brown said. “Moskito Island knows no limit when it comes to providing incomparable, luxurious moments and adding The Village to our collection further amplifies our position as the leaders of luxury in the Caribbean.”

The cliffside Village has high-tech amenities, cutting-edge architecture and spectacular views. 

That ranges a hidden DJ booth that rises from the outdoor deck overlooking a two-story infinity pool and the cantilevered glass-bottom hot tub extended over the cliff edge that will be ready in 2023; to a slide that wraps around the edge of the estate, and an advanced lighting and sound system that takes these amenities to the next level.

The 18,100-square-foot villa is set on 3.5 acres, with a mix of cottage-like structures that all blend into the natural landscape. 

The nine-bedroom property can accommodate up to 18 guests and is available only for exclusive buyout. 

Each of the nine bedrooms is effectively its own private retreat, with en suite bathrooms, private living rooms and large terraces or patios. 

The crown jewel is the two-story Master Suite designed in a circular loop and completed by a 360-degree wrap-around terrace that not only creates a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience but boasts the most spectacular views.

And then there are the communal spaces: communal bar – matched with a uniquely designed living area – draws up to a spiral staircase that leads to the estate’s rooftop, itself wrapped in audio-synched LED lighting. 

The centerpiece, though, is a multi-level, undulating infinity edge pool that is straight out of Bali, replete with its own swim-up bar. 

It’s joined by amenities like a state-of-the-art gym, a home cinema, a pizza oven, and an organic kitchen garden. 

In other words, it’s one of the ultimate villas in the Caribbean. Period.
