Exclusive new pictures of Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious private island taken by The Post show major changes as it undergoes transformation into a luxury resort.

The images of Little St. James in the US Virgin Islands — where Epstein is said to have sex trafficked scores of women and which was raided by the FBI in 2019 — reveal a complete remodel of the late financier’s unique waterfront ‘temple’, with its distinctive blue stripes erased and a new coat of white paint applied.

The cryptic patterns which adorned the front and sides of the structure have also been whitewashed into memory, the shots show.

The temple was previously painted to make it look like it had a pair of forbidding wooden front doors with a medieval-style lock, but has now been remodeled as an outdoor patio and fire pit, and appears ready for a DJ set.

The emerging makeover is part of billionaire Stephen Deckoff’s plan to repurpose Epstein’s playground of perversion — formerly known as “Pedophile Island,” as it was used for sex parties, orgies and other debachery — into a glitzy resort.

Deckoff purchased both Little St. James and the larger nearby island Great St. James for $60 million last May after several price drops from their initial $125 million asking price.
