Travel In Style - Favorite Celebrity Vacations
By:
Michelle Linden
Celebrities sure do seem to have a great life. Their every day lives
are ones filled with glamour, and their vacations are even more
spectacular! But just because you aren’t rich and famous, doesn’t
mean you can’t travel like a celebrity! Today, the Hollywood Elite,
A-list Stars, musicians, politicians, and the super-rich are
followed more closely than ever before. Because of this, we know
exactly where they go when they want to unwind and where they go to
be pampered. If you are looking for some well deserved pampering,
rest, relaxation, good food, or even star-gazing (Hollywood or that
other kind!) then check out some favorite celebrity getaways.
Alfajiri Villas, Diani Beach, Kenya - The latest craze in
celebrity travel is a trip to Africa. Whether you partake in a
safari excursion, or rest in relax in one of the grand resorts.... a
trip to Africa will open all of your senses. No wonder celebrities
from Teri Hatcher to Oprah to Tiger Woods are taking the time to
visit this vast and amazing continent. Luxury accomodations are
becoming more abundant throughout Africa, but the Alfajiri Villas
are one of the tops. You can choose to stay at the Ciff Villa,
Garden Villa, or Beach Villa. The scenery and nature surrounding the
area are spectacular... And for the family oriented there are many
options for kids. Just ask Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who stayed
there early in their relationship.
Location: Ukunda, Kenya
Grand Hyatt and Park Hyatt Tokyo - The Park Hyatt may be the
hotel shown in Lost in Translation with Scarlett Johanson and Bill
Murray, but the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is equally popular. The Grand
Hyatt boasts itself as a great destination for all kinds of
activities, such as weddings, fine dining, and state of the art
recreation and relaxation facilities. Perhaps that is why
celebrities such as Dave Grohl and Chris Martin opt to stay there
when they travel to Tokyo. The Park Hyatt Tokyo is also considered
one of the best hotels in Tokyo, if not in the world. This
spectacular hotel which caters to long term visitors looking for
someplace to live as much as visit, has become even more popular
since Sofia Coppola showcased it in Lost in Translation.

The Ivy London - If you are interested in checking
celebrities in their natural environment, then you have to know
where to be. Sometimes, knowing where to be isn't enough because you
may not be able to get into that exclusive club, or have
reservations for that fabulous restaurant. But, if you plan far
enough in advance (6 months or more) than you too can dine with the
the rich and famous. Getting in to the Ivy is the most exciting
part, but once you get in then there are plenty of options for some
culinary exploration. So when traveling to London, plan a trip to
the Ivy and you are nearly guaranteed to have a celebrity sighting.
David Beckham, Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Elton John, Nigella
Lawson, and the rest of the UK's elite have all been seen munching
and sipping at the Ivy.
Location: 1 West Street, Covent Garden, London - Telephone: 020 7836

Chez Michel in Villefranche-sur-Mer - Chez Michel’s is a
reasonably sized, reasonably priced French restaurant serving
unbelievably authentic Provencal food. The restaurant is owned by a
husband and wife team who take special care to create a menu filled
with fresh ingredients and plenty of local flavor. The atmosphere is
comfortable and warm with Provencal landscape murals along the
walls. It will be very easy to immerse yourself in the good wine,
good food, and good conversation. So good in fact, that you may not
even notice celebrities such as Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong
sitting at the table next to you!
Location: Place Amélie Pollonais, Villefrance-sur-Mer, France -
Telephone: 04-93-76-73-24
Los Cabos’ One & Only Palmilla Resort - Palmilla is located
on the southern end of Baja California... a hop skip and a jump away
from L.A. and yet a fabulous and quick getaway for celebrities. The
area boasts great weather, scenery, outdoor activities, and plush
resorts. Palmilla at Los Cabos was founded in the 50s (back when it
was reachable only by plane or boat) and started catering to
celebrities from the get go. John Wayne, Lucille Ball, Bing Crosby,
and President Dwight D. Eisenhower all escaped to be pampered at Los
Cabos. Some of the more recent celebrities to stay at the Palmilla
include Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.
Location: San José del Cabo, B.C.S. Mexico - Telephone: 624 146-7000
