Dreaming of jet-setting like a movie star? Or journeying like a Grammy award-winning musician? We all yearn to tread the path of our idols now and then. Scott Dunn has delved into the preferred destinations of the world’s most renowned celebrities to unveil where they unwind. Get ready to embark on a journey inspired by the elite, as we present the crème de la crème of celebrity travel itineraries.

St Lucia and Turks & Caicos

Both St Lucia and Turks & Caicos share the fourth spot in our analysis, attracting an equal number of celebrities for their getaways.

St Lucia offers a unique attraction in the form of Hotel Chocolat (pictured). Set on the island’s oldest cocoa plantation, visitors can partake in an exclusive experience—crafting their own chocolate, from cacao bean to bar. St Lucia’s Sugar Beach Resort boasts a celebrity-studded history—Matt Damon rented the entire hotel for a ceremony where he renewed his wedding vows, attended by luminaries such as George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

About 870 miles north lies Turks & Caicos—an archipelago of 40 low-lying coral islands—a favored destination for celebrities like Rihanna and Lily Aldridge. Emulating the vacation style of the Kardashians and their entourage, you can relish a getaway for approximately $7,000 per week, with celebrities such as Kylie, Kourtney, and Kim having enjoyed the seclusion of the island’s finest beaches. Don’t miss the Amanyara, a celebrity hotspot perfect for soaking up the sun and spotting famous faces.

Maldives

Celebrities like Joe Jonas, Millie Bobby Brown, and Orlando Bloom seek solace and opulence in the tranquil privacy of the Maldives. With opportunities to swim with whale sharks, dive with loggerhead turtles, and learn from PADI-certified instructors, the Indian Ocean’s biodiversity attracts both famous faces and marine life. For serene tranquility, follow in the footsteps of Odell Beckham and Idris Elba at One&Only Reethi Rah, where rooms start at $4,500 per night—a tropical paradise that’s simply unmissable.

Africa

Africa’s magnetic appeal easily draws A-list visitors. Follow royal footsteps with Will and Kate, who got engaged in Kenya, or mirror Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s Tanzania honeymoon. For a unique experience, stay at Nairobi’s Giraffe Manor, where Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi enjoyed close encounters with resident giraffes while relishing 5-star service.

Italy

Italy presents a tapestry of riches: lush landscapes, quaint rural hamlets, the planet’s most celebrated cuisine, and fashion that ignites envy. Celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone, Oprah, and Owen Wilson have been glimpsed on social media indulging in private tours across the nation. To savor a hotel experience fit for an A-lister, consider Belmond Hotel Cipriani. Legends like Paul McCartney, Elizabeth Taylor, Elton John, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, and Steve Martin have all graced its opulent halls.
