LONDON--(Marketwire - March 3, 2010) - With award season in full swing and the glamorous Oscars on their way, opportunities for some real life face time with the A list are aplenty.
Cheapflights UK dishes the dirt on where the stars holiday, pointing travellers toward deals that offer more flash than cash.
Vancouver: A lesser known celebrity hangout, Vancouver is home to North America's third largest film industry. It served as the movie set to the entire cast of the recently released Twilight film as well as hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics. Often spotted within its glitzy bars and restaurants are the likes of Uma Thurman, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, and even Bill Clinton. See if you raise a glass to one of these famous faces with flights from just £355 return.
Dubai: Having recently served as an escape from scandal for Toni Terry, Dubai plays host, and even home, to many an A list celeb. Last year alone it served as a film set for X Factor hopefuls who performed before the Minogue sisters, while also hosting the likes of Beyonce, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Michael Douglas during the launch of the famous Atlantis The Palm Hotel. Having recently plunged into economic crisis, Dubai still draws the glitz for a lot less spend, so visitors can holiday in five star luxury at three star prices. Join the ranks of big names like the Beckhams and Brangelina, and enjoy shopping, sunshine and beaches from £287 return.
Hawaii: Close to the USA's west coast yet far from the hustle and bustle, Hawaii has long been a getaway for the rich and famous. Paparazzi regularly capture the high flying antics of A listers like Jennifer Aniston, Clair Danes, John Stamos, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, John Travolta, and others. Now, throw Obama mania into the mix and Hawaii's celebrity stock climbs even further. Get your own travelling antics snapped with flights starting at £444 return.
Miami: Two words: South Beach. Miami's art deco district is rich in every possible way. Over-the-top shopping, nightlife, architecture, history and displays of wealth combine to make South Beach a truly unique experience. The trendy bars, exotic hotels and high-end boutiques are all great spots for celebrity spotting. To enjoy fun in the sun alongside the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Gisele Bundchen, and Venus Williams, get packing for flights starting at £339 return.
Dubrovnik: Well renowned for its harmonious offerings of city slicking, cultural attractions, and pristine beaches, Dubrovnik is also a popular destination for celebrity holidays. Recent high rolling visitors include Andre Agassi, Stephen Spielberg, Sharon Stone, Robert De Niro, and Clint Eastwood. With Eastern European destinations gaining in popularity for their exquisite combination of luxurious experiences at low cost, visitors can holiday among the A list without the high price tag. Stargazing opportunities here start with flights from just £103 return.
Los Angeles: This is the mother ship of celebrity; the place where most stars live, breed, film, shop and even vacate. While it offers up traditional tours of Hollywood homes and sound stages, you don't have to visit a movie set to be surrounded by stars. Take a stroll down Rodeo Drive or visit the latest clubs like Opera, Villa and Code de Ville to spotlight among them. Families should also make time for Disneyland, with the current Hollywood baby boom, you're sure to encounter some celebs and their mini me's enjoying family time at "It's a Small World". Grab your front row seat with flights from just £325 return.
New Orleans: While it's had its fair share of hurricanes, New Orleans has found its way back onto the 'IT scene' with Hollywood's golden boy Brad Pitt personally guiding major rebuilding efforts. With everything from Mardi Gras and JazzFest to movie premieres for the likes of the Blindside and big name charity events, New Orleans draws a steady stream of the who's who, including Sandra Bullock, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Buffet, Harry Connick Jr., and Lenny Kravitz. Join the star studded party with flights from just £349 return.
New York: You don't have to read the gossip mags to know that this is home to celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert De Niro. With the film "Sex and the City 2" soon to be released, fashion week coming up in July, and a steady stream of political rallies, product launches, concerts and sports events, stars are just part of the scenery here. Play it cool like the locals do and stroll among the glitterati pretending not to gawk with flights from just £245 return.
Barbados: Birthplace of famous singer Rihanna, this Caribbean island serves as a hideaway for the likes of Simon Cowell, the Beckhams, Sting, Mick Jagger, Davina McCall, Hugh Grant and Jennifer Aniston to name but a few. While stars enjoy the island for its enclaves and quiet villas, they're often spotted along its white sandy beaches, restaurants and designer shops. See who you can snap on the beach or at the bar with flights from just £499 return.
Turks & Caicos: Well hidden from the Hollywood scene, these islands are popular for celeb family holidays. Parents famed for a bit of R&R here include Bruce Willis, Donna Karan, Keith Richards, Shaquille O'Neal, and Oprah Winfrey. Romance is also in the air here, which is why both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner honeymooned at Parrot Cay. The casual atmosphere means a chance to see celebs up close and personal, so escape the UK winter chill for a relaxing chill on the beach alongside the stars with flights from just £639 return.
