With the global travel industry slowly getting back up and running, it’s unsurprising that the world’s A-list were among the first to hop back on their private jets and make their way to exotic shores.
Stars have been busy sharing snapshots of their post-lockdown holidays across social media over the past few weeks, from island getaways to trips closer to their homes.
So if you are looking for some inspiration for your next vacation, this is where the celebrities have been holidaying for summer 2020.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend – Mexico
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend recently took their two children, Luna, 4, and Miles, 2, on a family vacation to Mexico. They were joined by hairdresser to the stars Jen Atkin and her husband Mike Rosenthal, and shared a number of snaps from their time away on Instagram. They also shot the video for Legend's latest song Wild on the trip, in which the couple announced they are expecting their third child.
Kylie Jenner – Turks and Caicos
To celebrate her 23rd birthday on Monday, August 10, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan flew a number of her friends and family out to Turks and Caicos. The beauty mogul shared pictures from the trip, including sweet snaps of daughter Stormy Webster playing in the waves with her cousin, True Thompson, daughter of Khloe Kardashian.
Stormzy – Dubai
British grime star Stormzy was spotted holidaying in Dubai in early August. The Own It hitmaker is thought to have stayed at Five Palm Jumeirah, and was pictured out and about at The Dubai Mall and nightclub Nargui Five. He was also spotted on a yacht with fellow UK grime star Dave.
The Beckhams – Greece
The Beckhams flew off to Greece after travel restrictions were lifted, alongside David's mother Sandra and all four of their children. They were also joined by eldest son Brooklyn's new fiancee, Nicola Peltz, as they continued to celebrate their engagement.
Dua Lipa & Anwar Hadid – Saint Lucia
After isolating together at a rented AirBnB in London, Dua Lipa and boyfriend Anwar Hadid jetted off for an island break in St Lucia. The pair shared a number of idyllic snaps from deserted beaches, before returning to the US to spend time with Hadid’s supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella on the family’s farm in Pennsylvania.
Sofia Richie – Cabo San Lucas

Kendall Jenner – Utah
The supermodel joined sister Kylie Jenner and Palestinian model Fai Khadra to explore the sprawling deserts of Utah's national parks. The resulting Instagram shots of the vast and rocky landscapes offered up plenty of travel inspiration. The trio stayed at the Amangiri Resort in Canyon Point.
Joan Smalls – Portofino
The Puerto Rican supermodel shared a stunning digital postcard from the Italian fishing village of Portofino following a recent visit.
Adut Akech – Disneyland Paris

It's up to you to go green
Nils El Accad, chief executive and owner of Organic Foods and Café, says going green is about “lifestyle and attitude” rather than a “money change”; people need to plan ahead to fill water bottles in advance and take their own bags to the supermarket, he says.
“People always want someone else to do the work; it doesn’t work like that,” he adds. “The first step: you have to consciously make that decision and change.”
When he gets a takeaway, says Mr El Accad, he takes his own glass jars instead of accepting disposable aluminium containers, paper napkins and plastic tubs, cutlery and bags from restaurants.
He also plants his own crops and herbs at home and at the Sheikh Zayed store, from basil and rosemary to beans, squashes and papayas. “If you’re going to water anything, better it be tomatoes and cucumbers, something edible, than grass,” he says.
“All this throwaway plastic - cups, bottles, forks - has to go first,” says Mr El Accad, who has banned all disposable straws, whether plastic or even paper, from the café chain.
One of the latest changes he has implemented at his stores is to offer refills of liquid laundry detergent, to save plastic. The two brands Organic Foods stocks, Organic Larder and Sonnett, are both “triple-certified - you could eat the product”.
The Organic Larder detergent will soon be delivered in 200-litre metal oil drums before being decanted into 20-litre containers in-store.
Customers can refill their bottles at least 30 times before they start to degrade, he says. Organic Larder costs Dh35.75 for one litre and Dh62 for 2.75 litres and refills will cost 15 to 20 per cent less, Mr El Accad says.
But while there are savings to be had, going green tends to come with upfront costs and extra work and planning. Are we ready to refill bottles rather than throw them away? “You have to change,” says Mr El Accad. “I can only make it available.”
