Brazilian football star Neymar Jr. is reportedly considering a major lifestyle shift, with his sights set on a lavish private island off the coast of Brazil. The six-acre Japao Private Island, boasting four luxurious villas, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, and a host of other indulgences, is rumored to have caught the eye of the Al-Hilal player.
The island’s owner has recently slashed the price by over £3 million, making it even more appealing to Neymar. The footballer, currently recovering from an ACL injury, has already reportedly spent over £40,000 to rent the island later this month, seemingly a “test drive” to see if it’s the perfect fit for his future.
This isn’t Neymar’s first brush with the island. His ex-girlfriend, Bruna Marquezine, is among the many celebrities who have enjoyed vacations at the secluded paradise. Located near the port town of Angra dos Reis, the island is accessible only by boat or helicopter, with a helicopter ride from Rio de Janeiro’s International Airport taking about 35 minutes.
The island’s luxurious amenities and secluded location are perfect for someone looking to escape the public eye, a welcome change from the spotlight of his football career. While Neymar’s focus remains on recovering from his injury, his rumored interest in the island suggests a possible shift towards a life of luxury and privacy.
