Dua Lipa

Pop powerhouse Dua Lipa is officially off the market, and fans everywhere can’t stop levitating with emotion. The Grammy-winning singer has said yes to British actor Callum Turner, best known for his roles in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Masters of the Air.

Dua Lipa on Vacation

Together, they’re the ultimate cross-genre couple — part pop goddess, part period drama heartthrob. Naturally, fans and fashion editors alike are already wondering where these two will tie the knot. Will it be a Renaissance villa fit for a music video? A regal English estate that nods to their roots? A serene Japanese retreat that says “no press, just vibes”? These are the options that would make for a wedding worthy of front-row buzz.

Villa Balbiano

Location: Lake Como, Italy

If Dua Lipa ever wanted to step straight into a Dolce & Gabbana ad, or give her own House of Gucci moment minus the crime, Villa Balbiano is the spot. The villa delivers where it matters most for celebrity nuptials: privacy and luxury. The property boasts six meticulously landscaped acres designed by renowned British landscape architect Peter Wirtz. It offers plenty of space for a lakeside ceremony and opulent reception. And a private dock provides direct access to the lake, should the couple want to make a dramatic arrival by boat.

The 16th-century palazzo sits on the tranquil western shore of the lake, in Ossuccio. Its stately stone façade, arched windows, and hand-carved details radiate Italian Renaissance grandeur. The 17th-century frescoes, antique furnishings, and gilded chandeliers create a setting worthy of a period drama. With Michelin-starred catering and handcrafted cocktails, the food options are as polished as the marble floors. And while specific celebrity weddings at the villa remain hush-hush, Lake Como’s reputation as a playground for stars like George Clooney and Donatella Versace gives the venue an added layer of glamor.

Cliveden House

Location: Berkshire, United Kingdom

While jet-setting to an exotic locale has its allure, nothing says full circle like going back to your roots. Both Dua and Callum are card-carrying members of the British Cool Club. He’s from Chelsea. She’s from London by way of Kosovo. A wedding in Berkshire won’t be just posh, it’ll be patriotic.  For both Dua and Callum, Cliveden House in Berkshire offers a homegrown venue steeped in history, luxury, and just the right amount of royal intrigue. It’s got the history (built in 1666), the drama (a few scandals and political affairs), and the royal stamp of approval (Meghan Markle stayed here the night before her royal wedding).

What makes Cliveden especially suited for the couple is its ability to offer both privacy and British prestige. The interiors remain true to their aristocratic roots. There are the wood-paneled libraries, glittering chandeliers, and staircases that practically beg for a bridal train. The Cliveden Dining Room offers garden views with a side of modern British cuisine, while the Astor Grill (set in the estate’s former stables) adds a more intimate, cozy vibe. They also added a luxurious spa in 2017. And there’s the option for exclusive hire of the entire property. Plus, it’s only 40 minutes from London making it ideal for those A-list guests who don’t do long car rides.

Amanemu

Location: Ise-Shima, Japan

On the other end of the spectrum is Amanemu, a secluded sanctuary nestled within Ise-Shima National Park on the coast of Japan. Here’s the thing about Amanemu: it’s not flashy. It’s not tabloid-friendly. It’s not even easy to pronounce. But it is absolute peace. If Dua and Callum are looking to ghost the entire industry for a minute, this is it. The Aman brand is known for its ultra-discreet service and high-profile clientele, making it a favorite among celebrities looking to keep the paparazzi far away.

The resort is built in the style of a traditional Japanese ryokan, with low-slung wooden villas and views of Ago Bay. Amanemu also has onsen hot springs and a spa with watsu pools and salt therapy. The menu features Matsusaka Wagyu and seafood that probably high-fived a fisherman an hour before dinner. No known celebrity weddings here probably because they were too private to leak. If Dua and Callum want a wedding that feels like a Studio Ghibli retreat with a side of luxury skincare, this might just be the spot.

 

Oheka Castle

Location: Huntington, New York

For a couple with global fame and a taste for theatrical elegance, Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York, might be just the thing. Built in 1919 by a real-life Gatsby (banker Otto Hermann Kahn), Oheka is peak American aristocracy. The castle’s grand ballrooms and manicured gardens have hosted a range of high-profile weddings. The list includes Kevin Jonas, Megyn Kelly, Joey Fatone, Brian McKnight, and even Anthony Weiner. It’s also graced the screen in shows like ‘Platinum Weddings’ and inspired Gatsby-esque fantasies for decades.

With its award-winning culinary team, bespoke menus, and luxury accommodations, the venue blends extravagance with intimacy. Its location just outside New York City adds extra appeal. There’s the global accessibility for guests. Plus, the media capital of the world right next door for potential exclusive photo deals (if the couple decides to go public).
