Virgin Limited Edition’s Ultra Luxury Retreats: Where Stunning Locations Meet Unforgettable Experiences

If luxury had a passport, it would be stamped with Virgin Limited Edition — the ultra-exclusive collection of retreats founded by Sir Richard Branson. Each property in this remarkable portfolio combines breathtaking natural beauty, distinctive character, impeccable personal service, and one-of-a-kind experiences you won’t find anywhere else. From private islands in the Caribbean to serene hideaways on the African Savannah, these nine retreats are the essence of wanderlust with a plush, playful Virgin twist.

1. Necker Island — Caribbean Bliss

Nestled in the turquoise waters of the British Virgin Islands, Necker Island is the crown jewel of Virgin Limited Edition. This private island offers barefoot luxury at its most vibrant — think coral reefs, flamingos, and sunset yoga on the beach. With just a handful of guests at a time, you’ll enjoy tailor-made experiences from stand-up paddleboarding to private chef dinners under the stars. It’s a tropical playground for those who want both adventure and serenity.

2. Mahali Mzuri — Safari with Soul

Set in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara, Mahali Mzuri translates to “beautiful place” — and beautiful it truly is. This safari camp blends contemporary design with authentic safari spirit. You’re immersed in the wild, with expert guides, private game drives, and evenings around the fire under the African sky. Whether witnessing the Great Migration or sipping sundowners atop a termite mound, this retreat is an intimate encounter with nature.

3. Finch Hattons — Elegance in the Wild

Also in Kenya, Finch Hattons is a sanctuary of refined charm amidst the rolling plains near Tsavo National Park. Inspired by the spirit of early explorers, this lodge pairs elegant colonial-style suites with modern luxury. Expect heartfelt service, award-winning cuisine, and tailored safari journeys — from elephant tracking to guided bush walks. Here, luxury isn’t just seen; it’s felt.

4. Kasbah Tamadot — Moroccan Magic

At the foot of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, Kasbah Tamadot is a dreamy oasis of lantern-lit courtyards, vibrant textiles, and aromatic gardens. Once Richard Branson’s personal retreat, this stunning kasbah blends Berber soul with contemporary refinement. Explore local souks, take a hammam ritual, or just relax beside the pool with panoramic mountain views. This is Moroccan hospitality at its most enchanting.

5. Ulusaba — South African Splendor

Located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Ulusaba is Sir Richard Branson’s flagship safari lodge. With two distinct experiences — the hillside lodge and the river lodge — this property offers intimate wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes. Exceptional guides lead game drives that bring you face-to-face with Africa’s iconic Big Five. And after a day on safari, unwind with spa treatments, sundowners, and starlit dinners.

• Note: this property is currently undergoing a complete renovation and will reopen April 2027

5. Mont Rochelle — Winelands Wonderland

In the heart of South Africa’s Cape Winelands lies Mont Rochelle, a boutique vineyard estate with panoramic views of rolling vineyards and Table Mountain beyond. Here, wine isn’t just poured — it’s celebrated. Pair award-winning vintages with farm-to-table gastronomy and personalized tastings. Landscaped gardens, suites with mountain views, and bespoke experiences make this a romantic getaway or a joyful retreat for wine lovers.

7. Son Bunyola — Mallorca’s Hidden Gem

Set within a 300-acre estate between two nature reserves, Son Bunyola embraces Mallorca’s authentic island spirit with understated luxury. This retreat captures Mediterranean beauty — olive groves, citrus orchards, and clay-tiled villas updated with contemporary comforts. From mountain hikes to sea-salt massages, Son Bunyola is where tranquility meets vibrant island culture. It’s a sanctuary for the senses.

8. The Lodge — Verbier’s Alpine Icon

High in the Swiss Alps, The Lodge offers winter wonderland perfection and summer alpine serenity. Perched above the chic mountain village of Verbier, this iconic property combines chalet luxury with mountain charm. Expert guides, private ski instructors, and après-ski indulgence are the order of the day in winter. In summer, hiking, biking, and crisp alpine air await. With panoramic views and volcanic hospitality, The Lodge is where mountain dreams come true.
