It’s the time of year when everybody who is anybody takes a holiday, and Forbes has produced their list of top destinations for celebrities. These celebrity hotspots are located around the globe, with some in large cities and some in hard to find spots.
The Setai Luxury Hotel in Miami has a virtual celebrity wing, so that stars such as U2 and Bono don’t have to be seen and bothered to enjoy the Florida destination, be it on business or pleasure. Set apart from the rest of the hotel, the residential tower has large suites, concierge and butler service that is also separate from the hotel, and a modest lobby.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have vacationed at Fiji’s Wakaya Club, which takes up its own island. There is room for eleven couples on the 2,200 acre island resort, so it isn’t hard to enjoy your privacy here. Richard Branson has his own private resort island located in the British Virgin Islands. Called Necker Island, it can be rented out exclusively for a mere $46,000 a night. Among many others, Mel Gibson, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg have all been known to stay here.
Another small island that is popular is Cayo Espanto, off the coast of Belize. With just five villas, all with their own private docks, you won’t run into anyone else unless you really want to. Tiger Woods, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have all vacationed here recently.
And for those who travel to South Africa, two of the prime celebrity destinations are the Saxon and Westcliff Hotels in Johannesburg. Oprah Winfrey is a regular guest of the Saxon, and Beyonce has visited the small resort. The Westcliff on the northern suburbs of the city has also hosted many stars.
These are just a few of the popular and private celebrity destinations. For those who can afford them, you can feel like a celebrity when you visit.
