The least appealing part of Richard Branson’s new luxury retreat is it’s ominous name, Moskito Island, which is the retreats rebranding of it’s actual name Mosquito Island. All that aside the new retreat is out of this world luxurious. Right in the middle of the British Virgin Islands Moskito Island is 125 acres of untouched secluded beauty. Each of it’s estates are nestled away from each other and offer supreme views of the ocean.

The luxury getaway has been around a few years now, with Branson’s own estate becoming available to rent there back in 2020. Branson famously purchased the island back in 1979 for $180,000. Their latest are the Oasis and Point estate which are opening now. Each one is hosted to by a chef and manager who provide a hyper-personalised level of catering.

Oasis Estate

Situated at the very peak of Moskito Island with broad-sweeping island vistas, The Oasis Estate is the sleekest of contemporary hideaways with 360-degree Caribbean views.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors and transports natural light from every angle.

The Oasis estate will set you back a tidy $US19,000 per night to live in complete opulence.
