Leonardo DiCaprio – Blackadore Caye

Talking about the eco-resort he is developing on the private island, Leo has once told The New York Times, “The main focus is to do something that will change the world. I couldn’t have gone to Belize and built on an island and done something like this if it weren’t for the idea that it could be groundbreaking in the environmental movement.” Blackadore Caye was supposed to open in late 2018, but there is still no word on it.
