The secluded nature of the island has since attracted a number of A-listers in recent years including Stormzy, Rihanna and Jude Law.
And the party island is now for sale for a cool £25million.
It has been owned by music producer Nigel Frieda since 2004, who has worked with both Sugababes and the Rolling Stones.
Listed on the Fine and Country website, the £25million sale includes "90 bedrooms" as well as the Roman Causeway, pub, and access visa boats and small aircraft.
Simon Pelling, of Fine and Country who have listed the island, said: "We already have several bids on it and some of them are in excess of the guide price.
"We see it going to operators who will use it in a similar way to how it is used now - as a venue, an event space or high-end letting facility."
The island has even previously been dubbed the ' English Necker Island,'
On the island are also two recording studios, which is why its so loved by singers.
Rihanna, Georga Ezra, The Weeknd and Stormzy have all used the studios.
Olly Murs also visited the island back in 2023 after getting married there, while celebs such as Poppy Delevigne, Sienna Miller and Jaime Winston have all partied on the island.
