Most Exotic And Expensive Vacation Destinations To Find Celebrities

Portofino, Italy

Portofino is a fishing village located in the Ligurian Riviera that hosts a stunning harbor and many beautiful waterfront houses. Known as the resort of the rich and famous, Portofino attracts celebrities such as Rod Stewart, Elton John, and Steven Spielberg for its unmatched sunsets and friendly dolphin visitors. Getting to the car-free village requires visitors to take a ferry, boat, train, or bus. Its restaurants specialize in fresh-caught fish. Wine tasting is also popular in the small village, which only holds five hundred permanent residents.

Hotels in Portofino are expensive, though this is not a problem for most celebrities. Popular places to stay include the five-star resorts Grand Hotel Miramare, Eight Hotel Portofino, and Belmond Hotel Splendido Mare. Portofino’s preferred resort is the Excelsior Palace Hotel Rapallo, which faces the Italian Riviera to the east and the headline of Portofino to the west. It is the only five-star hotel on the Portofino Coast and includes the elegant architecture featuring work of the early 1900s. With its romantic setting, the Excelsior Palace offers a beach club with sea terraces, personalized cabanas, and two spectacular pools. Other celebrities, including Madonna and George Clooney, prefer the Hotel Splendido, which is known as a millionaire’s playground. The hotel boasts a more laid back atmosphere than the Excelsior. All rooms include a balcony overlooking the harbor. The resort’s wellness center specializes in treatments for children and teens, making it a better option for celebrities looking for a getaway with the family.
