Colombian singer Shakira and Pink Floyd‘s Roger Waters have bought a $16 million Caribbean island together. The two of them plan to turn the island into a luxury resort for holidaymakers. Shakira, who is currently dating Barcelona soccer star Gerard Pique, has joined forces with Roger Waters to purchase the site of Bonds Cay, north of the Bahamas.
The proud island owners are reportedly hoping to “reinvent the concept of tourism” by building both a set of luxury holiday homes which will also include private beaches and a number of hotels. Shakira and Roger Waters have also made plans to build an artists’ retreat which will house a series of artists-in-residence, galleries populated with up-and-comers’ works and a programme offering semester-long sabbaticals.
“It’s not about having 200 speedboats and an 18-hole golf course. I would say it is an explosion of the senses. It’s a concept more related to art and culture.”-said Arturo Rubinstein, an investor involved in the project.
No doubt the luxury island will attract many wealthy holidaymakers. Shakira and Roger Waters are certainly hopping.
