Many of us dream of traveling like the rich and famous — but we likely don’t have the budget for it. From traveling by private jets or yachts to staying in luxury villas or five-star resorts, celebrities typically spare no expense when it comes to how they vacation.
GOBankingRates crunched the numbers to estimate the costs of some of the most lavish recent celebrity getaways — and the prices are shocking.
Dua Lipa’s Luxe Escape to Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
Singer Dua Lipa recently shared snaps on Instagram of a luxurious vacation she took with her partner, actor Callum Turner. Her photos include images of beaches, infinity pools and jungle surroundings. While she didn’t identify where she stayed, Lipa was reportedly at the One&Only Mandarina, an ultra-private, ultra-luxury resort located in Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit region.
Guests can choose to stay at villas, private homes or treehouses. Stays at the resort’s grand Villa One start at $1,250 and can be as high as $5,050 on popular dates. That means a three-night stay would start at $3,750 — and that doesn’t include travel, dining or excursion costs.
