There are a number of vacation spots around the world where Hollywood's elite go to find some rest and rejuvenation. With some research and travel planning, you could be sitting in a spa next to Jack Nicholson or playing tennis with Julia Roberts.

For an exotic getaway fit for a star try the South Pacific Island of Fiji. Fiji offers solitude from the rest of the world and a relaxing getaway on one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Surrounded by a crystal clear ocean, spectacular waterfalls, and picturesque mountains, it is no wonder why Hollywood's most famous stars vacation here. With a number of vacation resorts around Fiji, you should not have any trouble finding a place to stay if you book in advance. Make sure to check out some of the extra activities offered by the resorts when choosing where to stay. There is so much to do in Fiji, from scuba diving to taking a tour through a nearby rainforest that you do not want to miss anything that would really interest you. Fiji is the perfect spot to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Also consider pampering yourself like a star and renting out a private island for the day. One of the most popular features of Fiji, having your own island for the day is something you will likely never be able to do again.

Another beautiful vacation spot popular with the stars is the Mediterranean Sea. Bordered by some of the most beautiful European nations including Italy and Greece, the Mediterranean offers a picturesque scene of tranquility and beauty. If visiting the Mediterranean consider booking yourself on a Mediterranean cruise. These cruises often offer the best views of the beautiful land and crystal clear waters surrounding you. The cruises typically dock in at least three different ports, offering you the opportunity to see as much of the area as possible during your trip. On shore excursions in places like Cypress, Egypt and Italy will provide plenty of entertainment and activities during your trip. You will also be able to take in all of the fun on the boat. Most cruise ships offer an on board spa, casinos, restaurants and activity areas where guests can make the most of their vacation.

Bit of History

[When asked: “If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?”:] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.

—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

If you want to travel like the stars but do not want to travel abroad do not worry, you can vacation with the stars right here in the United States.

The grounds of the resort are packed with beautiful sculptures and landscaping that makes it one of the most beautiful spots to vacation in the US. The resort is also home to a number of Arizona's finest pieces of art in its three art exhibition halls. Culture is definitely not lacking at the Westin Kierland Resort in Arizona.
