Leaf Cay, the Exumas

(Nicolas Cage, owner)

Languidly drifting amid the sprawl of the Exuma archipelago, 85 miles southeast of Nassau, is actor Nicolas Cage’s Leaf Cay, a sand-fringed plot of paradise equipped with a 1,500-foot airstrip, underground wiring and its own desalination facility. Measuring more than 40 acres, the rustic isle floats in pristine, crystal clear waters (often compared to the South Pacific) and reportedly cost Cage $3 million. "It's nice to walk on the beach and not have to worry about having your picture taken,” he told the Associated Press.
