Actor Johnny Depp owns a beautiful private island in the Caribbean – where he spent the most wonderful days but also remembered the most cruel things in his life.
In 2003, while filming Pirates of the Caribbean , Johnny Depp discovered a charming 45-acre island near the Bahamas. The actor decided to buy Little Halls Pond Cay island in 2004 for 3.6 million USD (more than 83 billion VND).

This uninhabited island was originally very wild. Johnny Depp hired someone to build an estate-style house with 360-degree views of the island to live in.
According to Vanity Fair , the “pirate” spent an additional 8 million USD to buy a yacht so he could freely go to his island. The yacht is named Vajoliroja after the initials of Johnny Depp’s ex-girlfriend, daughter and son. It costs him about 300,000 USD to 400,000 USD per month to hire 8 staff to take care of the yacht. Johnny also has a custodial staff and serves the real school on the island.
The island has a special place in Johnny Depp’s heart
The actor named six romantic beaches on the island after the people he loves: daughter Lily-Rose, son Jack, ex-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, senior Marlon Brando and mentor Hunter. S. Thompson. The Hollywood star greatly admires actor Marlon Brando – who also has a private island in Tahiti – so he consulted Marlon before buying this island.

The sixth beach is named Heath Ledger in honor of the talented and ill-fated actor from the movie Brokeback Mountain . Heath died in 2008 of a drug overdose, leaving his colleague Johnny Depp in mourning.

Little Halls Pond Cay is made up of a chain of small coral islands. This tropical island has charming blue beaches with white sand and endless palm forests. Johnny Depp once called this “the purest and most beautiful place” he had ever been to.
The area around the island has many rare wildlife and marine creatures, belonging to the Exuma Land and Sea Park conservation area. To maintain environmental friendliness, Johnny’s houses are built of wood and use solar batteries.
Johnny Depp said he often comes here to recover mentally and regain balance after each role. It is an ideal retreat for him and also a vacation place for the whole family. “This refuge has become vital to my survival. There, I felt really free and my heart seemed to beat 20 beats slower than normal,” the actor confided.
Wedding venue with Amber Heard
In early 2015, Johnny Depp chose his island as the place to hold a private and romantic wedding with actress Amber Heard. The couple only invited family and a few closest friends to the wedding. Their wedding cost about 800,000 USD (18.5 billion VND).

Because Little Halls Pond Cay is a private island, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s marriage story is kept completely private. A few days later, this good news was discovered and reported by the Hollywood press.
Johnny Depp went to rehab and endured a bad experience with Amber Heard
In August 2014, Johnny went to a private island to detox, which he called a “detox trip”. Amber Heard accompanied Johnny Depp. It’s unclear what happened to the couple on the island, but they both have ugly memories of this trip.
Johnny said that Amber hid the prescribed painkillers and refused to let him take them, causing the actor to sob like a child and lie crawling on the floor in pain. “It was one of the cruelest things she ever did,” Johnny said.
Amber Heard confirmed that Johnny beat her on the island when he did not take enough medicine. The actress texted Johnny’s personal doctors and nurses to beg for help. However, Johnny Depp denied this accusation by his ex-wife.
The island of Little Halls Pond Cay – once like a “peaceful kingdom” – has become a place containing sad memories of Johnny Depp. Those memories that were thought to be buried are being recalled in the tense court battle between Johnny, The Sun newspaper and Amber Heard.
