Nestled high above the turquoise waters of the North Sound in the British Virgin Islands, The Aerie is one of a select few elite estates on the exclusive private island of Moskito. A sanctuary of refined elegance and calm, it offers those seeking respite a peaceful haven — while also serving up endless adventure for the more active. Set on 132 acres of pristine island paradise, Moskito delivers world-class service alongside a wide range of activities, including tennis, water sports, and yachting — all surrounded by awe-inspiring natural beauty.
Moskito Island has been under the ownership of Sir Richard Branson since 2007. To bring his vision of a secluded yet vibrant island community to life, he enlisted acclaimed architect and Harvard professor Dr. Ken Kao. The result is a masterfully planned haven of ten private estate lots, now home to the Branson Estate and six exceptional custom-built residences. At the heart of the island lies a beautifully designed waterfront communal area, serving as a social hub for homeowners and their guests.
The Aerie, the final design by the late Dr. Ken Kao, stands as a striking tribute to his architectural legacy. Positioned just above the Branson Estate, this hilltop retreat boasts panoramic 270-degree views across Necker Island and the entire North Sound — from the Bitter End Yacht Club to Biras Creek and Saba Rock. The expansive Great Room, inspired by the style of Necker Island, offers seamless indoor-outdoor living, welcoming in the island’s gentle tradewinds. Its infinity-edge pool, complete with swim-up bar and heated spa, is a front-row seat to some of the most stunning sunsets on earth. Above it all, an elevated viewing platform crowns the home, perfect for stargazing or sunrise coffees.
The residence includes eight luxurious bedrooms plus two additional staff quarters. The Master Suite and a spacious Guest Suite are situated just above the Great Room, while a whimsically designed Kids’ Bunk Room lies below — a dream space for younger guests. Two additional Courtyard Guest Suites, each with private terraces, offer seclusion and perfectly framed views of the surrounding beauty.
