Former\u00a0Houston Rockets <\/a>player Reggie Bullock is turning his private island in Belize, “Bullock Island,” into a resort.<\/p>\n

Bullock is a 12-year NBA veteran who has also played for the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks.<\/p>\n

Bullock said he purchased the island in Placencia, Belize in 2022 for $2.2 million before adding a four-bedroom mansion with a pool, movie theater and six vacation villas.<\/p>\n

His favorite thing about the island is its heart shape, which represents one of his twin boys, Heart, he told the Houston Chronicle.<\/p>\n

“I was building it as my dream home but got caught up in the tourism industry and made it a flip,” Bullock said. “My favorite thing is the heart shape of the island. One of my twin boys’ names is Heart and the other is Soul.”<\/p>\n

Bullock Island features a mansion, pool, one- to two-bedroom villas and five oceanfront one-bedroom villas that can be booked on the Bullock Island<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Amenities include an ocean-view pool, on-site restaurant and beach bar, wellness and fitness facilities, daily housekeeping and shuttle service to and from nearby ports and attractions.<\/p>\n

Bullock said the idea came from former Mavericks teammate Dennis Smith\u00a0Jr., who told him about the private island market, in\u00a0a video by YouTuber Will Mitchell, a Belize-based content creator.<\/p>\n
