Summer is here and it is time to pick a bikini, pack a bag, and head to an amazing vacation destination. Mere, mortals, unlike most pop stars, can’t hop from one tropical island to another; therefore, we have to choose carefully. Fashion Reverie wants you to feel like a celebrity, so we picked seven popular locales of the rich and famous!
This is the only time of the year when we can use the advantage of European Riviera, so let’s start with St. Tropez.
Once a sleepy fisherman’s town that was put on the radar by Brigitte Bardot, St. Tropez today is a playground for Jay Z and Beyonce, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Neil Patrick Harris and the family, and many more. It is a great place to enjoy vacation-style luxury. The Côte d’Azur is perfect for both a relaxing holiday or the bacchanalian nightlife.
Roberto Cavalli is a St. Tropez regular. He opened his own restaurant and loves to promenade down the coast. It is a place where you can enjoy some of the finest French rosè wine and come home rejuvenated. Fashion Reverie recommends Hôtel la Résidence de la Pinède with amazing views of the Riviera.
The island of Capri is one of the jewels of the Mediterranean! There is no celebrity that hasn’t been there! From Jackie Kennedy and Liz Taylor to today’s biggest names in politics, music, and television. Filled with amazing restaurants, historical sights, and best shops in the world, Capri will certainly give you the true spirit of the Amalfi Coast. For hotel accommodations, Fashion Reverie recommends the Hotel Mamela, located on a quiet street five minutes from the famous Piazzetta Square.
With the World Cup madness centering Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is in the minds of World Cup fans and vacation shoppers. Rio has been a popular destination for many famous people. It is known to be one of J Lo’s favorite destinations. If you can’t manage to be here for Carnival, any other occasion is just fine. The city’s locals love to party and will definitely keep you entertained. There are plenty of amazing beaches and there is the Copacabana Palace, Rio’s most luxurious hotel. Learn to samba, drink cachaca and eat heartily. Don’t worry if you gain some extra pounds on your tushy. Remember, Brazilian men love an ample derriere!!
Bora Bora is a place to completely rejuvenate and relax. It is a paradise on earth. So, it’s no wonder that hard-working celebrities occasionally need to stop by in need of some R&R. The most famous place to stay is the Four Seasons Resort. Over-water bungalows are a very unique experience and local fresh foods and spa amenities add to the ambience of this exotic locale.
Last, but not least of our picks is Necker Island, an island in the British Virgin Islands. The island was purchased in 1978 by Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Records and Virgin Airline fame. It is holiday experience of ultimate luxury, full of small unique retreats and with over 200 flamingos.
