You probably won't run into British magnate Sir Richard Branson, but you can live in his luxurious style when you rent his estate on Necker Island. If you're rich, famous, or well heeled enough to spend thousands a day to get away from it all, this would be the place to do it. Actually, it's not such a bad deal if you and 25 of your family and friends want to enjoy a vacation together. The island comes fully staffed, and all meals and activities are included. Rooms are spread out over the main house and a handful of cottages located around the island. Arrival is by helicopter or private launch from Terrence B. Lettsome Airport on Tortola. For two weeks every year (usually in the fall), couples can book individual rooms for a one-week stay. Pros: Gorgeous setting, an island for you and a few dozen friends. Cons: Very expensive, need boat to get here.
