| Paradise Built. The
main walls were built from the stone hewn out of Devil's Hill, but the roof of this
Balinese Great House was pre-fabricated in Brazil. Much of the furniture and fabric was
handmade in Bali. Five white sand beaches as well as rocky
cliffs ring its shores. Paths lined with tropical blossoms lead to hidden hammocks and a
Hindu meditation hut. |
Nature. Pelicans,
doves and hummingbirds are abundant on Necker, freshwater from its desalination plant has
increased the number of species and part of the island has been designated a bird
sanctuary. Lizards and greckos thrive in this dry, sunny
habitat. The extensive reefs support numberous tropical fish and blue marlin have been
caught surprisingly close to its shores. |
