From Beyoncé to Kevin Hart and the always-vacationing Kardashians, celebrities seem to be forever hopping on private jets, renting out entire islands, and using their connections to charter yachts. All we can say is, keep the inspiration coming! Here are some of our favorite celebrity trips that inspire us to dream big.
Serena Williams
Between dominating on the tennis court and running her business empire, Serena Williams knows a thing or two about the importance of self-care. She treats herself to relaxing vacations with her family several times a year.
Serena is a beach girl and can often be found lounging by the oceanside while on tropical getaways. She’s been spotted in Miami, Anguilla, and Hawaii soaking up the sun. She’s also known to organize a private jet charter when visiting the Bahamas, ensuring her trips are as luxurious and convenient as possible.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
In 2018, the Carters took a break from their On The Run II tour to enjoy a quick family vacation in Cannes, France. They rented a swanky private yacht on the French Riviera for maximum privacy and enjoyed amenities like a beach club with a jacuzzi and balcony. While in the Cote d’Azur, they likely posted about their 5-star Hotel Byblos in St Tropez, a fave of celebs who hit Cannes.
However, this quick trip was nothing compared to their most expensive vacation. To celebrate the arrival of their twins, Bey and Jay jetted to Tahiti and Bora Bora for a babymoon. They reportedly got an overwater villa with a personal chef catering to their every need. The Carters know how to do vacations in style.
Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi
Blue Ivy may only be ten years old, but she lives a more lavish lifestyle than most adults could dream of. Earlier this year, she and her family enjoyed time in the Bahamas on board a mega yacht. She was photographed swimming in the ocean blue water, hanging out in the hot tub, and riding jet skis during their island getaway.
Her younger siblings, Sir and Rumi, are following in her footsteps. Last summer, Bey and Jay took their kids to the Hamptons so they could enjoy all the amenities of luxury living.

Lori Harvey
Lori Harvey knows a thing or two about traveling in style. Whether she’s taking a girls’ trip, vacation, or a romantic getaway, Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter does it big. Remember her birthday celebration in Jamaica? She was living it up while lounging oceanside in a bikini and enjoying wine on the beach with her friends.
She and ex-beau Michael B. Jordan also upped their couple style during their whirlwind European vacation. The pair chartered a private jet and made stops in France, Italy, and more during their extravagant vacation.
Michael B. Jordan
Michael B. Jordan proved he knows how to vacation like a pro when he took Lori Harvey on that European getaway we just mentioned. Before that, he rang in his 35th birthday in the Caribbean by renting out an entire resort and inviting his closest friends and family. Talk about going all out.
He also treated himself to a boy’s trip to Miami aboard a private yacht in 2020. Michael was spotted soaking up the sun, playing volleyball on the deck, riding jet skis, and lounging oceanside with friends.
Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union always keeps it funky and fun when she jets sets around the world. She and her family enjoy lavish vacations, often involving yachts, beaches, and many great photo opportunities.
Last year, Gabrielle and her husband, Dwyane Wade, sailed in Spain with daughter Kaavia James and stepson Zaire Wade. The stylish family was the picture of vacation goals as they explored the coastal town and lounged on their luxury boat.
In 2020, they rented a yacht in Italy, and Gabrielle served us some serious vacation fashion inspiration. She snapped pics posing on the dock and aboard the boat wearing colorful bikinis and coverups.
Dwyane Wade
Speaking of Dwyane Wade, he treated his wife for her 40th birthday. The NBA legend secretly flew all of Gabrielle’s closest friends and family to Cabo so they could surprise her with a lavish celebration.
The party crew spent the week at a luxury oceanfront villa with a private theater, game room, and personal chef. There was pampering at the spa, dance parties by the pool, and beachfront lounging.

Oprah has been living her best life long before our current crop of influencers made lavish vacations trendy. She is the original queen of travels done right.
Who could forget when she treated her most loyal fans to an all-expenses paid trip of a lifetime to Australia? Oprah booked two private jets to fly nearly 300 audience members for an 8-day adventure.
She also owns an impressive real estate portfolio that allows her to relax and recharge in style frequently. Her Hawaiian farmhouse has been the site of many celeb vacations, thanks to its sprawling acreage, stunning Pacific views, and many activities like hiking trails and a stream for swimming.
It’s no surprise Oprah knows how to vacation in ultimate luxury. She works hard and plays hard when it’s time to get away.

She went on guided drives to see exotic animals, captioning her photos with “This is what heaven looks like to me.” She also indulged in luxurious spa treatments after long days on safari.
Ms. Washington is passionate about travel and has said it’s her favorite way to “reboot and re-energize.” Well, if a $2,700 per night villa in Tuscany is her way of recharging, sign us up!
Kim Kardashian
Y’all remember when Kim Kardashian was all over the news after posting pics from her exclusive vacation in Tahiti in 2020? Kim went all out for her 40th birthday celebration and chartered an 88-seat Boeing 747 to fly her entire family and friends squad out to The Brando, a super luxe French Polynesian private island resort. Of course, this was all before her famous KimAir.
Kim footed the bill for 30 or so family and friends to join her at this breathtaking spot in Tahiti. The 193-acre island has blue lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, and beaches for days.
Some of The Brando’s many over-the-top amenities include two gourmet restaurants, a spa, and two bars where Kim sipped cocktails and lived her best life with her faves. One thing’s for sure: Ms. Kardashian spares no expense regarding dream vacations.
John Legend and Chrissy Teigen
In 2017, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen dropped some major coins on a wellness retreat for the whole family, and they did it in true baller style. The pair spent $50,000 on a PJ flight to the island of Bali. Once they touched down, they headed to the exclusive Como Shambhala Estate resort. This spot is a top-tier wellness oasis for the rich and famous.
When they weren’t getting their health on, they spent time doing yoga, hiking, and rafting. And get this — they loved the trip so much they’ve turned it into a yearly thing. Now, that’s living your best life. The Legends sure know how to vacay in style.
