International pop star Shakira has placed her private Caribbean island, Bonds Cay, on the market with an asking price of £22 million (approximately $30 million), according to real estate listings in the Bahamas.
The sale represents a significant increase from the $16 million the Colombian singer paid for the property in 2006.
Bonds Cay is located in the northern Bahamas, approximately 125 miles (200 kilometers) from Miami, and covers an area of 650 acres.
The island remains largely undeveloped and features extensive white-sand beaches, turquoise coastal waters stretching over 21 kilometers, and elevated points offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The island is also associated with Roger Waters, the renowned bassist and songwriter of the British rock band Pink Floyd.
Shakira and Waters acquired Bonds Cay with plans to develop a luxury artist retreat incorporating high-end residences and hotel facilities. However, the proposed project was never implemented.
Despite the lack of development, the property has retained strong appeal due to its size, privacy, and strategic location.
The island is currently listed by Corcoran CA Christie Bahamas, which notes that Bonds Cay can be accessed by private jet, helicopter, or yacht, making it suitable for buyers seeking exclusivity and discretion.
Real estate specialist Gavin Christie stated that the island’s proximity to Nassau, located approximately 37 miles away, enhances its investment potential.
