Tranquil: This photograph offers a glimpse inside the tropical holiday retreat David Bowie had built on a private Caribbean island in 1989
Daily Mail: Inside David Bowie's 'tranquil' Caribbean retreat: Stunning mansion built for him as a private getaway goes on sale for £14million
* These photographs offer a glimpse inside the tropical holiday retreat David Bowie had built on a Caribbean island
* He once described the £14million five-bedroom mansion as a 'tranquil place' so relaxing he found it difficult to work
* Bowie later sold the peaceful hillside retreat on Mustique to British publisher and poet Felix Dennis for £3.5million
* Dennis passed away in 2014 and the private island villa is now thought to have been purchased by a mystery buyer
Blissfully tranquil and idyllic, these photographs offer a rare glimpse inside the tropical holiday retreat David Bowie had built on a star-studded private Caribbean island shortly before he married his supermodel wife Iman.
It may be nearly 30 years old but the £14million ($20million) five-bedroom mansion still retains the same glamour, extravagance and lavishly colourful interiors Bowie envisioned when he chose the home's Indonesian look back in the Eighties.
The peaceful hillside hideaway, once described by the 69-year-old glam rock icon as a 'tranquil place' so relaxing he found it difficult to pen new music there, now appears to have been snapped up by a mystery buyer.
It is located on what Bowie called the 'fantasy island' of Mustique, a popular getaway spot with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
