Top 12 destinations visited by celebrities

Tetiaroa, Tahiti

Former President Barack Obama jetted off to the Tetiaroa Atoll in Tahiti in March 2017 to unwind at the famous eco-friendly Brando Resort, where former First Lady Michelle Obama joined him. In need of a vacation after his presidency, he previously visited Necker Island (pictured) for a spot of kitesurfing in January.

The Tahitian island rose to fame in 1962 as the backdrop for Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Marlin Brando, Trevor Howard and Richard Harris, making it one of the top movie locations to visit on a luxury vacation. Brando then bought the island in 1967 and invited friends Robert De Niro and Quincy Jones to visit his paradise in French Polynesia.

In 2014, ten years after his death, The Brando Resort opened and it is said that Leonardo Di Caprio has stayed in the luxury eco hotel and spa.

Superyachts up to 100 metres can moor in the Marina de Pape'ete in Tahiti, where guests can take a private aircraft to the resort.

Trinidad & Tobago, Caribbean

In February 2016, Usain Bolt was spotted dancing at the Trinidad Carnival in the Port of Spain, posing with fans and joining in wholeheartedly with the festivities while covered in paint. It's not uncommon to see the fastest man in the world letting off steam at Caribbean carnivals, as he also attended in 2014 and went to the Jamaican event in 2013.

Other celebrity visitors include The Beatles, Rita Hayworth, Amber Rose, Winnie Harlow and Rihanna, some for a relaxing vacation and others for the chance to party like a local. Nicki Minaj was also born on the Caribbean island and filmed her music video there for Pound the Alarm.

If partying in the streets covered in feathers and sequins isn't your idea of a relaxing holiday, there are a number of high-end luxury resorts across the island where you can unwind with a spa treatment and indulge in some of the finest menus in the Caribbean. Not to be missed is the Rio Seco waterfall in Matura National Park, which is a beautiful natural swimming hole and Pigeon Point, a vast nature reserve with one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.

Trinidad and Tobago has some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean, offering wrecks, swim-throughs, drift dives and reefs covered in colourful coral and sponges. These waters are home to eagle rays and stingrays as well as a variety of sharks and dolphins.

The CrewsInn Marina can berth superyachts up to 60 metres, otherwise luxury yachts can anchor further out and tender to shore.
