Being beautiful is hard work, that's why so many celebs find time to rest and revamp (or rehabilitate) at some of the world's finest spas and resorts. But you don't have to have a million-dollar contract to pamper yourself.
If you're in need of some relaxation, head to one of these resort hot-spots: Live the lifestyle of the rich and famous, at a fraction of the price.
The Bahamas are home to many of the most beautiful resorts in the world, so it’s no wonder the beautiful people flock to this island hideaway. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon recently exchanged vows in the Bahamas; before them, folk singer Jewel and her husband wed on the island of paradise. Keep a lookout for Michael Jordan – a frequent celebrity on the Bahamas’ notable golf courses. You don’t have to have celebrity dollars to vacation on the Bahamas – book cheap flights to the Bahamas during the off-season summer months and score big with discounted airfare and hotel rates. Enjoy a celebrity-worthy vacation at a fraction of the price.
Charlize Theron, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Gwyneth Paltrow have all been known to rejuvenate in Mexico. After all, being a star is hard work! If you’re seeking a vacation fit for Hollywood’s elite, consider cheap flights to Mexico for an Acapulco vacation. This resort town has beautiful beaches to lounge on, spas to be pampered in, and greens to golf on. Party celeb-style on Cozumel, which is located 12 miles off the Caribbean coast. This celeb party spot also maintains a quiet and laid back atmosphere. For the cheapest Mexico flight possible, plan your trip for just after the rainy season when the hills and mountains are at their greenest and the crowds are small.
Want to mingle with A-list celebs and their wildlife friends? Consider a safari vacation in South Africa. At the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve along the Sabie River, celebrities like Will Smith and Salma Hayek enjoy the lush landscapes and exotic animals South Africa has to offer. Cap off the day with relaxing spa treatments meant for all walks of life. If a safari is too wild for you, then book your cheap flight to Cape Town and enjoy the beautiful beaches, shopping, and vineyards. February through March is when you will find cheap Cape Town flights and hotels. No matter what you decide to do, one thing is for sure: a vacation to South Africa is worthy of royalty—or at least the Fresh Prince.
If rest and constant relaxation is on your must-do list, consider a vacation in Arizona and treat yourself to some A-list activities. If the breathtaking landscapes aren’t enough to soothe the mind, the avid golfer can find solace in Scottsdale at world class greens that pros like Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods frequent. Sedona, Scottsdale, and Phoenix are home to some of the top resorts in the country, frequented by many celebrities. Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn and others break from their busy schedule by jetting off to the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain resort and spa in Paradise Valley. Sign-up for celeb-style spa treatments, or engage in a yoga and pilates class. Book your cheap flight to Arizona for the early fall when some resorts still offer summer rates so you can unwind like the stars at a bargain price.
Thanks to the serene scenery and picturesque landscapes, Utah has become a prime spot for celebs needing a little rest and rehab. It’s no wonder celebutantes like Mary-Kate Olsen, Kirsten Dunst, Eva Mendes, and most famously, Lindsay Lohan have retreated to Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehabilitation center. But you don’t need to live a fast-paced, decadent celebrity lifestyle to experience the benefits of Utah’s resort locations. Relax like the stars and book a cheap flight to Utah for a weekend yoga retreat or spa vacation where you can unwind in an environment of rustic tranquility. Increase your chances of sitting in the sauna next to your favorite starlette by booking a flight to Utah in January during the world-famous Sundance Film Festival.
