Flag of Belize in Central America.
If you like tropical climates but prefer an island less cosmopolitan than the Grand Cayman, then maybe Belize is for you.
The waters of the South Atlantic offer great opportunities for investors and celebrities, and Leonardo DiCaprio is one such uber celebrity.
Buying all 104 acres of Blackadore Caye might sound excessive, but DiCaprio, a known environmentalist advocate, plans to create a number of luxury yet eco-friendly suites on the island.
Meanwhile, BlackadoreCaye.com sits undeveloped, hidden under WHOIS privacy.
Registered almost exactly 10 years ago, according to DomainTools, the domain appears to have been in the possession of a North Carolina company, A Private Island since the beginning.
The company’s owner, Jeff Gram, bought the private island in 2005 for a reported $1.75 million.
The two partners have now begun drawing up plans with Four Seasons to create a five-star luxury resort based on sustainable design and environmental conservation.
Geo-domains of this caliber appreciate in value when uber celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio get involved positively with the locale the domains represent.
Just for the record, Belize is a country on the Caribbean coast of Central America, which is NOT located in the south atlantic. You also make it sound like Belize is an island when in fact it has hundreds of islands.
Lisa – Talk about selective reading. It’s clear from the article that Belize is a) In Central America b) no reference is made to an island other than the Blackadore Caye c) South Atlantic waters are engulfing the area, as opposed to North Atlantic.
Have a great Easter!
