List Of Bollywood Celebrities’ Favourite Destinations:
1. Maldives
After a slew of B-town biggies snapped in the Maldives, it was soon touted as the new Mumbai. The picturesque South-Asian country, a conglomerate of over 1,190 coral islands and home to sunset-facing villas, Maldives is a perfect destination to break out from the mundane with minimal Covid-19 cases. Another reason why the entire Bollywood fraternity is lazing off at Maldives beaches is its favourable weather. While Alia Bhatt had fun with her girl gang at Cheval Blanc Randheli, Kajal Aggarwal honeymooned in underwater suites of Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. Intercontinental, Taj Resort & Spa are a few other places where you can rub shoulders with celebrities like Sidharth Malhotra, Tiger Shroff, and Parineeti Chopra.
2. Goa
The next place to get your dose of Vitamin D is the beach capital of India, Goa. Lush with whispering palms, seafront cafes, hidden coves and adrenaline rushing watersports, this pocket-sized state is complemented by gentle weather and friendly people. But, what steals the limelight is the string of golden-sand and unspoiled beaches where you can unwind, gobble and swim. Amidst the cross-cultural influences, be prepared to bump into famous figures. Celebrities and churches are found in every nooks and corner. The stylish Bipasha Basu and her husband Karan Singh are often spotted here. Jumping on the bandwagon are Malaika Arora, Arjun Kapoor and Sunny Leone.
3. Dubai
Whoever has even a hint about Dubai knows it is resplendent with opulence and royalty. In this petite emirate, you can set sail on a private cruise, hike the tallest building, upgrade to a VIP shopper, book a helicopter ride, stay in ocean-inspired suites, sip tea in a 7-star hotel and bet on a camel race. It is like a second home for the king of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. Dubai was amongst the firsts of a few places that opened its doors for visitors after the Covid rules were relaxed. Deepika Padukone, Salman Khan and Vicky Kaushal had a whale of a time in this luxury playground. From the superstar Sanjay Dutt to choreographer Farah Khan, several celebrities have received the golden UAE Visa. We would recommend you to add this place on your bucket list — because it’s amazing to watch how fearlessly it creates the future and also embraces history.
4. Italy
Be it the flawless luxury of Lake Como or the spellbinding heritage of Tuscany or the winding canals of Venice, Italy is a star-studded paradise. Travellers swoon over its photogenic lakes, verdant landscapes, sophisticated villas, unparalleled history, countryside charm and gastronomical delights. What can be more surreal than sipping a glass of wine in your celebrity crush’s favourite bar overlooking a fairytale scene! Not just for casual holidays, Italy has been hogging headlines as a hot wedding destination. From the Indian Cricket team captain Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma to the power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, a dozen of B-town celebrities have exchanged their vows in Italy.
5. London
A city of 2000-year-old history, incredible architecture, fine dining, cool pubs and celebrity-owned lavish properties, London is where the heart of Bollywood resides. The glam girl Katrina Kaif hails from London, and as soon as the restrictions lifted, she flew back to her hometown. After the Unlock was announced, Akshay Kumar had jetted off to London for his shoots and a laid-back trip with family. Sonam Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty and Shah Rukh Khan own swanky homes in London and keep flocking now and then. From meeting the wax VIPs at Madame Tussauds to running into real celebrities at Chiltern Firehouse, Soho or London Eye, London will stay in your memories for a lifetime.
6. Switzerland
Switzerland has all hill town whims — powdery snow, larger than life resorts, skiing courses, eye-popping views, most graceful lakes, majestic Swiss Alps and hot air balloon rides. Celebrities make the most of their time at a 150-year-old luxury hotel, biggest spas, high-end boutiques and expensive chalets. No wonder, the Pataudi couple, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s favourite destination is this snow-capped Switzerland. But what turned our heads were the jaw-dropping pictures of Varun Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, Jacqueline Fernandez and Karishma from here, during the same time. Did we say this country has an exotic array of dishes made of palatable flavours?
7. Seychelles
Another country where Bollywood loves to chill, relax and slow down away from paparazzi, Seychelles is unique, beautiful and generous. It is a nation of 115 islands scattered over 400,000 sq km of the Indian Ocean and resembles a fable paradise. Dotted with the world’s best beaches, UNESCO sites, and the world-class scuba diving, Seychelles brings unforgettable experiences to the table. Not to forget, it is teeming with wildlife where you can say hello to endangered species like a black parrot, giant tortoise, and smallest frogs. Sonali Bendre was the latest name added to the travellers’ list after lockdown. Sonakshi Sinha is another leading lady who is seen posing on a private yacht. Ajay Devgan loves having family time here and Athiya Shetty just hangs out with KL Rahul.
8. New York
A state where Alia Bhatt vacays with her beau Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar writes most of his scripts, Sonam Kapoor brings her fashion A-game on the streets, Jacqueline Fernandez travels solo and Janhvi Kapoor twins with her sister — New York is a sensational holiday destination for Bollywood celebrities. It gives the much-needed break where every celebrity cannot resist but lose their heart. With innumerable things to do in New York, it takes a lifetime to see everything. From the labyrinth of Thousand Islands and adventures of Saratoga Springs to musicals of Broadway and exhibits at Metropolitan Museum of Art destination, New York strikes a chord with millions of tourists.
