Want to holiday like Janhvi Kapoor, Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor Khan? Top five star-approved summer destinations to know in 2025

The Maldives is practically Bollywood’s second home. From Alia Bhatt sipping coconut water in custom swimwear to Katrina Kaif meditating in monochrome bikinis, it's a masterclass in soft-glam vacationing. Tiger Shroff’s abs have graced these waters more than the sun, while Disha Patani made an entire career out of beach content. Over in Hollywood, Joe Jonas honeymooned here, and Kate Hudson called it her zen zone. Private infinity pools, sky-blush sunsets, and no paps in sight? Maldives is where celebs go to recalibrate their chakras—and their Instagram grids. Warning: visits may cause unrealistic holiday expectations.

When Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor spent New Year’s Eve at ÀNI Thailand, the internet lost its chill—and so did they. This low-key luxe Thai island is where A-listers go when they want spa days, sea views, and zero public appearances. No chaos, no crowds—just curated calm. Angelina Jolie has been known to retreat to quiet Thai islands, and Naomi Watts has raved about their grounding energy. Koh Yao Noi is Thailand’s chic little secret: part healing haven, part coastal couture. If Phuket is for influencers, this one’s for icons. Pack linen. Leave your WiFi guilt at home.

Shah Rukh Khan has a mansion here. Salman Khan jets in for Eid. Priyanka Chopra does desert photoshoots, and Ananya Panday’s Atlantis The Royal stay basically broke the internet. On the Hollywood side? Will Smith skydived over the Palm, Zac Efron took dune buggy selfies, and Beyoncé opened Atlantis The Royal with a private concert—casual. Dubai is where your favorite celebs come to feel expensive. Between gold-dusted lattes, mall crawls in Balenciaga, and rooftop parties that start after midnight, Dubai is less “vacay” and more “main character energy.” It’s not just a city—it’s a vibe check.

From Alia Bhatt’s girls’ trips with Karan Johar to Kareena Kapoor’s family strolls with Saif and Taimur or a girl's trip with her sister Karishma Kapoor (above), London is Bollywood’s go-to for tea, trench coats, and tabloid sightings. Shilpa Shetty shops at Harrods, while Ranveer Singh drops chaotic fashion fits on Oxford Street. Meanwhile, Hollywood owns the West End—Zendaya rules red carpets, Tom Holland is basically Mayor of Kingston, and Taylor Swift pops up at pubs like it's no big deal. It’s old money meets new pop culture. If you’re not gallery-hopping between rain showers and buying overpriced vintage, are you even doing London right?
