A private island once owned by pop icon Shakira has hit the market for £22m ($30m USD).
The near-deserted island benefits from natural beauty, plenty of privacy and a whole load of development potential.
This 650-acre slice of paradise was reportedly bought by the Colombian singer for £11m ($16m USD) in 2006.

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters also had ties to the island, which is known as Bonds Cay.
The land is located in the northern Bahamas, around 125 miles from Miami, Florida, as reported by Luxury Property News.
It is now being offered by Corcoran CA Christie Bahamas.
Bonds Cay boasts 13 miles of coastline, picturesque white sand beaches, protected coves and high spots that offer panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Several established islands nearby with airstrips and customs allow easy access via private jet, helicopter, or yacht.
Shakira, 48, and Roger Waters, 82, both invested in Bonds Cay with plans to build an artists’ retreat.
The idea was also to build luxury hotels and residences on the island.
Gavin Christie, Corcoran CA Christie Bahamas, said: “Bonds Cay feels wonderfully remote, yet it’s only 37 miles from Nassau [the Bahamas capital] and 155 miles from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
“You get absolute privacy without sacrificing convenient access.
“Previous master planning on the island highlights how development can be both ambitious and environmentally sensitive.
“With thoughtful design, new ownership can create something exceptional here while preserving Bonds Cay’s ecological soul.
“Bonds Cay is one of the most breathtaking private islands in the entire Bahamas with 650 acres of untouched beauty, from powder‑white beaches to turquoise shallows that stretch for miles.
“It’s incredibly rare to find an island of this size that remains entirely pristine.
“Whether it be a world‑class resort, an exclusive residential enclave, or an ultra‑private family retreat, the scale of the island allows for extraordinary vision without compromising its natural beauty.”
