Mosquito Island (Moskito Island) is an island off the coast of Virgin Gorda and has long been a favourite for scuba divers and sailors. In 2007, Sir Richard Branson purchased this island for £10 million. The island is located on the west side of Gorda Sound adjacent to Virgin Gorda and near Necker Island, which is also owned by Branson. Now, Virgin Limited Edition, Sir Richard Branson’s luxury collection of award-winning retreats announced the newest addition to the collection – The Branson Estate on Moskito Island, which will be available for rental from early 2016.
