Leonardo DiCaprio Buys Blackadore Caye Belize
Island lies a few miles west of Ambergris Caye

Reports from both international and national media houses are that Hollywood “Aviator” star Leonardo DiCaprio has bought a piece of Belizean real estate known as Blackadore Caye, a 104-acre island located just a few miles west of Ambergris Caye.

According to the British newspaper The Sun, the staunch environmentalist is planning to turn the island into an eco-friendly resort and is already working on plans for the environmentally-conscious retreat, which will cost him millions of dollars to construct.

Plans for the luxury layout will apparently include just a few exclusive villas, all with private pools and terraces as well as direct access to the beach. Most importantly, however, the design of the hideaway – including the use of renewable energy sources – will respect the island’s wildlife and tropical surroundings.

leonardoThe narrow island of Blackadore Caye, which is just over two miles long, is lined with white sand beaches and dotted with coconut palms and rocky outcrops. It lies just a 25-minute boat ride from the Belize Barrier Reef, a World Heritage Site. The island’s length would also be able to easily accommodate an airstrip.

Press reports and sources on the island say that management of Leo’s resort will be in cooperation with the nearby high end resort of Cayo Espanto. Our sources also told us that DiCaprio did not purchase all of Blackadore Caye, but only a piece of the 104-acre island, at a cost of over a million dollar U.S. This same source informed us that the entire island was purchased at a cost of $1.7 million U.S., and its owner is planning to sell the other remaining land at Blackadore Caye to other Hollywood stars and celebrities, including Robert DeNiro and Tiger Woods. Therefore, very soon San Pedro’s Blackadore Caye will soon be full of stars - Hollywood Stars, that is!
