He used this as a place where he could hide his paramours away from prying eyes and would transport them to the island via his steam-yacht the Nixe.
For Archduchess Mathilde, his one great love, he had steps carved out of the rock so she could walk into the sea to swim.
Michael, who is married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, first purchased the property in 1990 with his former wife, Diandra Luker.
In an effort to promote the home and move on, the two-time Academy Award winner has even done a voice-over for a special video highlighting the villa's beauty.
'My life has taken a new course,' Michael says in the video, 'and now it’s time for me to let someone else enjoy he privilege and adventure of owning S’Estaca.'
In the video, Douglas recalls how 'when I first saw S’Estaca in 1990, I also fell under its spell and bought the property.'
Under the actors ownership, the property has hosted a number of A-list guests, including Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Jack Nicholson to name a few.
Priced at $32.7 million, the listing agent is Eddy Barrera of Engel Voelkers, Majorca Westcoast.
