The Beckhams – Indonesia

The entire Beckham brood reportedly descended on the resort of Nihi Sumba in the Indonesia Archipelago in August. The hotel is found on the relatively undiscovered island of Sumba, located south-east of neighbouring (and more visited) island Bali. The resort has 21 wood and thatch villas all complete with gardens amid “hundreds of acres” of land. Luxury holiday operator Scott Dunn offers a seven-night trip to Indonesia (five nights at Nihi Sumba) from Dhs17,451 per person.

Ellen DeGeneres – Kenya

The chat show host extraordinaire and wife of Portia de Rossi headed out to the Insta-famous Giraffe Manor in May. Owned by the Safari Collection and set within 12 acres of private land on a forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, the Manor has garnered attention due to the herd of Rothschild’s giraffes who visit morning and evening. Rates start from Dhs1,994 per person sharing per night.

Serena Williams – Italy

After her defeat in the Wimbledon finals, following an incredible tournament just 10 months after giving birth, Serena headed to the exquisite Italian countryside to recuperate with her husband Alexis, daughter Olympia and dog Chip. Her hotel of choice was the five-star Espace Chenot – L’Albereta, nestled within the remote hills and vineyards of Erbusco in northern Italy. The hotel centres around health and wellness, making it ideal for Serena’s post-tournament downtime, and is perfectly secluded and hidden, too.

Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario – Greece

The couple stayed in celebrity-favourite CavaTagoo which is found on a cliffside overlooking the Agean sea (just look at that infinity pool complete with floating sunbeds).

Alessandra Ambrosio – Ibiza

The Victoria’s Secret model headed to the White Isle last month with friends. With so many luxurious hospitality options on the Spanish island, Alessandra opted for Me Ibiza, which has 205 rooms and is found on the eastern side of the party isle. Though the area of Santa Eulalia might be more secluded than other areas of Ibiza, ME provides its own entertainment with its Radio Rooftop bar hosting world famous DJs and Michelin-starred restaurant pop-ups. Prices start from Dhs960 + VAT in low season and from Dhs1,920 in high season.

Rebel Wilson – Iceland

While Iceland might not immediately spring to mind as a go-to summer destination, Pitch Perfect’s Rebel Wilson apparently can’t recommend it enough. The actress devoted numerous paragraphs to the destination on Instagram, in particular The Retreat hotel, found in the country’s Blue Lagoon, which she said was “the best” (while also reiterating that it wasn’t a sponsored post). The Dhs4,716-a-night hotel is the first luxury offering at the Blue Lagoon and features 62 suites which come with stunning views of the lava or direct access to the lagoon itself.
