Totally private, Necker has only one residence, a magnificent villa of breathtaking Balinese design. On Necker, the pace is tropical, the ambiance exotic. Surrounded by the sparkling blue Caribbean Sea of the British Virgin Islands, Necker Island exudes the elegance and lifestyle of the rich and famous. A favorite with royalty, rock stars and movie stars, Necker Island is the ultimate private getaway in the Caribbean.

Accommodations on Necker Island
Beneath huge peaked roofs, this unique structure houses 10 bedrooms, all with in-suite bathrooms and private balconies that offer sweeping vistas of the sea and neighboring islands. The living and dining areas are cavernous. Tropical sunlight streams through vast skylights in the vaulted ceiling. Wide louvered windows open to the exhilarating ocean breezes. A raised gallery overlooks an interior garden of lush palms and ferns.

Outside, the villa is encircled by broad, galleried terraces of York stone. A patio is set for dining al fresco. All about, comfortable lounge furniture invites languid relaxation or quiet reading. From this upper terrace, fresh water cascades into a whirlpool on the terrace below and flows into the enormous swimming pool, its water as clear as Baccarat crystal.

Your Own Personal Staff
On Necker Island, the staff outnumbers the guests, providing first-class service and catering to your every whim. Enjoy a tropical drink in the indoor garden or on one of the terraces with picturesque views of the British Virgin Islands. Meals are as informal or formal as you desire, and at the pace, time and location of your choice. Your staff can prepare a light lobster lunch with fresh fruit served in the shade of the pagoda at the beach pool's floating dining pavilion, or a more formal affair in the 26-seat dining room with silver, lace, linen and crystal place settings.

Island Activities
A short stroll from the villa, on a dazzling cape of silver sand, sits a Balinese gazebo and beside it a flood-lit tennis court. Two traditional Balinese guest houses, one with its own swimming pool, sit nestled in exquisite surroundings with romantic views. Recreational facilities abound -- sailing, water skiing, wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing. On the villa's main level, there is even a full-sized English snooker table.

Necker Island has the best of both worlds: an exciting choice of recreational pursuits for the athletically inclined, or the privacy and privilege to do nothing but bask in the glow of this perfect tropical paradise.

It's All Included ... and Then Some
A stay on the island includes all meals and drinks (including alcoholic beverages), staff of 18, two freshwater pools and two Jacuzzis, flood lit tennis court and equipment, 12 luxurious bedrooms with in-suite bathrooms, windsurfing, laser sailing dinghies, water skiing, snorkeling equipment, fishing equipment (not deep-sea), two underwater Sea Sprints, launch trips to other islands in BVI, video, book and music libraries, full-sized snooker table, board games (children's books and games) and work-out equipment.

Seventy-four acres of private nature trails linking a selection of sandy beaches; a magnificent house, crafted with open-plan Balinese architecture to incorporate a wooden canopied living and lounging area with 10 double bedrooms which open out onto private balconies; an unobtrusive but attentive staff to prepare meals of your choice, serve drinks and provide waterskiing equipment when requested -- Necker Island can be yours for the ultimate holiday for privacy and pampered luxury.

Hello from Sicily: My Italian Language Learning Adventure - Exploring the Beauty of Sicily and Sailing through the Eolian Islands
Sicily  the name alone conjures up images of an exotic island, a mysterious and fascinating past. I have wanted to explore Italy for some time now since I had not been there for a long, long time, and when I was pondering which region of Italy to explore Sicily came to mind. I figured this island would offer a combination of fascinating history, rich culture, scenic beauty, and an opportunity for a wide variety of activities. One activity I definitely wanted to pursue was to combine my journey with language studies: my earlier language study trips to Havana and Cuernavaca, Mexico, not only got me closer to the Spanish language, but these on-site language learning experiences really allowed me to explore the culture from within.
