Normally Necker Island is hired privately, but during Celebration Weeks you have the opportunity to make it your personal retreat. On selected weeks throughout the year individual rooms can be booked to experience this private paradise 'house party' style. Of course, all your food and drink (including alcohol), activities and 60 full-time staff are part of the deal, so our advice is: go for it!

The momentum on Necker Island has been literally building for months as the new Great House takes shape, and we're now able to share a few more details (and our excitement!) about this on-going project. The main frame of the Great House is already in place and the roof is soon to be completed. Meanwhile the furniture is on order and our team is working on some of the finer details.

At first glance previous visitors to Necker Island may think that not much has changed, as the shape of the Great House is very similar to the original, but appearances can be deceptive! The new building is considerably larger than the one it replaces, with more spacious guest bedrooms, a two-tier southern terrace, and the main indoor table will seat up to 40 people. At the time of writing (late March 2013) we expect to open the brand new Great House in the latter part of summer 2013. Get in touch with our reservations team to be the very first guests to experience the new Necker Island. PS: The image is of our Beach Pavilion but as soon as we have Great House images we'll be sure to post them.

Celebration Weeks give you the opportunity to get the full ‘Necker experience’ without hiring the entire island, and how you choose to spend your days is totally up to you.

The full range of island activities are available including virtually every water sport you can think of, tennis lessons, swimming in the infinity pools, hiking around the island and relaxing on the beaches and that's all before nightfall, when the party is certain to get going.
