Though he doesn’t actually reside on the island, Leonardo DiCaprio bought this amazing piece of paradise back in 2005 for $1.75 million. Following the big purchase, Leo announced that the island would not only feature a completely eco-friendly luxury resort, named “Blackadore Caye”, but also that the island was to undergo a massive environmental restoration in order to replenish and restore the land back to its former glory sum 30 years ago.

As of 2018, progress on the tropical getaway is still ongoing; however, DiCaprio was reported to have received the final approval needed from Belize’s Department of the Environment to begin the construction on his dream retreat. Rumor has it, the exotic hotel will feature overwater villas, infinity pools, a rainwater filtration system, and every structure will be powered with 100% renewable energy.

Blackadore Caye Resort (also the name of the island) will have 36 bungalows and 36 estate homes, which will be powered by 100% renewable energy harvested from solar panels. Rainwater will also be collected and filtered, then run through solar-powered desalination treatments to suit the water needs of the island.
