In 2011, Shakira, joined by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, embarked on an exciting venture by acquiring Bonds Cay, a spectacular island in the northern Bahamas, for a notable sum of $16 million. Their shared vision for Bonds Cay is to transform it into a remarkable eco-friendly, carbon-neutral luxury vacation destination with a unique focus on nurturing the arts.
Situated approximately 120 miles off the coast of Florida, Bonds Cay is an expansive property covering 700 acres. This captivating island boasts five pristine beaches, numerous secluded coves, art galleries, luxurious hotels, and three serene salt pond lakes. With a commitment to environmental sustainability and creativity, Shakira and her fellow owners are crafting a haven that aims to inspire and rejuvenate artists from around the world in this breathtaking tropical paradise.
