The candles are lit. The meal is warming in the oven, and the gifts are under the tree. There’s nothing else to do now but enjoy some fodder in the form of celeb travel. This is where the celebs are this holiday season.
The Destination: St. Barths
The Celebrities: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, Heidi Klum, Camila Cabello
The Hotspots
When there are secluded beaches and world-class dining all on one intimate island, it’s bound to have a reputation for romance. These celebrities are confirming that love is in the air in St. Barths. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez celebrated last New Year’s on superyacht Koru, complete with a foam party aboard the ship. Sanchez also made time to shop, heading into stores like Prada and Louis Vuitton in Gustavia.
Villa Eden House
Camila Cabello also kicked off the year with beachside romance in St. Barths alongside billionaire boyfriend Henry Junior Chalhoub. Meanwhile, Heidi Klum enjoyed her six-month anniversary with Tom Kaulitz on a terrace at what appears to be Villa Eden, known for its expansive terraces and infinity pools.
Where to Stay: Eden Rock St Barths, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa, Cheval Blanc St-Barth
The Destination: Aspen
The Celebrities: Nina Dobrev and Shaun White, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Costner, Kate Hudson, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber
The Hotspots
There’s an obvious reason celebrities flock to Aspen when temperatures drop, and that’s skiing. But the second-best reason is the sheer amount of luxury shopping packed into this small Colorado town. Celebrities are no different from the rest of us when it comes to material indulgences, and Aspen is the place to see it in real time.
Mariah Carey made stops at Gucci and Prada last winter, while Jennifer Lopez perused Western wear at Kemo Sabe. Kendall Jenner had other plans as she prepared for the reveal of her new Aspen mountain home. The supermodel spent her first summer there earlier this year and says the vacation home is a place to connect with friends and family.
Matsuhisa Aspen
While board games were on the agenda, last year Jenner, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian hit the slopes at Buttermilk Mountain and enjoyed dinner at Matsuhisa Aspen. The Biebers, good friends of Jenner, were also spotted snowboarding at Snowmass Mountain. While specific whereabouts are kept hush-hush, odds are high that the usual celebrity crowd will return again this holiday season.
Where to Stay: The Little Nell, Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection
The Destination: London
The Celebrities: Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, David Beckham, Jonathan Van Ness
The Hotspots
London had its fair share of celebrity sightings this year. While some trips were strictly business, others focused on time away from work. In November, lead actors in Wicked: For Good (Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey) were in Leicester Square for the movie’s UK premiere. Universal hired Brasserie Zédel in Piccadilly for the afterparty, reportedly spending £100,000 on the event. The art deco-inspired French restaurant sits on a lower floor of ZL Café and offers the perfect setting for A-list discretion.
Brasserie Zédel
While Grande enjoyed French cuisine during her visit, Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness opted for a more traditional English breakfast. The stylist stayed at The Marylebone Hotel in central London and dined at 108 Brasserie & Bar alongside Nicola Coughlan and Camilla Whitehill-Mathieson. David Beckham and Rebel Wilson also enjoyed leisurely time in London this year, attending the Wimbledon tennis tournament with Royal Box seats, of course.
Where to Stay: Claridge’s, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London
