Singer Ricky Martin will definitely be livin’ la vida loca on his own private Brazilian island called Angra dos Reis. The singer paid $8 million for the paradise during negotiations that took several months. The island is one of 365 located off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

It’s the perfect vacation spot for the wealthy and influential, as it’s known for its beauty, sunny beaches and biodiverse island wildlife. The Sony Music star’s island has nineteen acres of land, and, though details on whether he built a mansion on the island are sparse, the aerial photographs of the other islands in the tropical paradise look surreal.
