When it comes to travel, there’s no doubt about it: celebrities do it best. Breaks in their demanding schedules are rare, so when they do have down time, they make sure to not waste it with mediocre vacations. Take it from the travel pros and put these utopian destinations on your bucket list.
St. Bart
St. Bart’s has a widespread reputation of being one of the fanciest locales in the world. And for good reasons. This lush island in the Caribbean boasts 22 white-sand beaches, impeccably adorned cottages, high-end shopping, yacht-filled waters, mouthwatering French-style cuisine, and so much more. Of course, don’t be surprised at all if you have a run-in with the droves of celebrities that frequent here, such as Harrison Ford, Liz Claiborne, Beyoncé, Derek Jeter, Black Eyed Peas, and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name just a few. May through June is advised as the best time to visit St. Bart’s, with December being considered peak season that requires at least 6 months advanced booking.
Cabo, Mexico
There’s nothing more cliché than vacationing in Cabo, especially during Spring Break. But with its winning combination of luxurious seaside resorts, majestic beaches, world-class spas, professional golf courses, and unmatchable scenery, it’s obvious why this destination is a clear favorite. Keep a look out for more celebs than you can possibly imagine! This never-ending list includes Paris Hilton, Tommy Lee, Michael Jordan, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez, Kid Rock, and countless more. Like St. Bart’s, the most ideal time to take a trip to Cabo is May through June, while October and November are touted as good months as well.
Maui, Hawaii

The unanimous tropical travel destination for most people is undoubtedly Maui, Hawaii. The glorious reputation alone is enough of a reason to go, but Maui offers so incredibly much more. Awe-inspiring history, rich culture, incomparable beaches, legendary luaus, endless outdoor activities, unique wildlife, one-of-a-kind shopping, and an overall laid back vibe are just some of the reasons why this place is a real-life paradise. Tiger Woods, Oprah, Britney Spears, Shia LaBeouf, John Stamos, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, Bill Gates, and many other celebrities put this perfect island in Hawaii at the top of their vacation list. Maui is known for being wonderful year-round, but April through May and September through November are the typically the less crowded times.
These destinations all provide something for everyone, and should not be missed. So pack your bags and get ready for adventures. Happy traveling!!
