For most of us, our summer holidays are the moment we most look forward to throughout the year. The thought of laying on a sandy beach or exploring a foreign city is what keeps us looking for our next getaway destination. Whatever you love doing in your time away, we can all agree that no one vacations quite like celebrities.

How many times have you looked on Instagram to see your favourite celebrity living it up abroad? In the world of fame, privacy is paramount, and wealth offers numerous choices. You’ll find them lounging on a yacht in Spain or chartering a private jet flight for a holiday of a lifetime in some of the world’s most luxurious destinations.
