The celebrity holiday homes that you can stay in
Who hasn't stayed in a holiday rental and sniffed around looking for clues about the owner? It's even more fun if you can critique the tastes of public figures by staying in their villas. It can pay off even if you aren't a fan. Fashion designers and film-makers — with practice in constructing elaborate fantasy worlds — can make bold, imaginative decisions when it comes to their own holiday homes. And often — thanks to hit albums or top-line billing in films — they don't have the cost considerations that the rest of us face. Or much in the way of self-doubt. Most of these properties are Big Vision stuff, with price tags to match. David Copperfield doesn't just own one private island in the Caribbean, he has an archipelago of 11 and his personality is writ large across them. Sting has 900 acres of prime Tuscan landscape to call his own. But celebrity holiday lets can also provide some surprises. These houses and villas, available to rent, anywhere from California to the English countryside, can also show a gentleness and an affinity with both nature and classic architecture. This article contains affiliate links, which can earn us revenue Best for Britpop fansPearl Lowe and her husband, Danny Goffey of Supergrass, turned a 19th-century gothic-inspired mansion into a boho-accented party pad after buying it in 2017. Now a fashion and textile designer, Lowe has adorned each of the nine bedrooms in her 1920s-inspired image, with brass bedsteads, velvet sofas and exuberant wallpaper mixed in with maximalist beading and tassels. You can walk to funky Frome from the end of the tree-lined drive but also ramble straight into impossibly lush Somerset countryside from a garden that has a hot tub and a gypsy caravan. With its mix of art galleries and very trendy restaurants, Bruton is a 20-minute drive away. This was the couple's family home when their children were growing up, but you may need to make a booking fast. Or think of it as a try before you buy — Pearl's Place is on the market for £ Seven nights' self-catering for 18 from £10,995 a week ( Best for modern-day MedicisSelf-sufficiency, celeb-style. The music legend Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, bought their estate in Tuscany in 1997. The family tend to take up residence there in the early part of the summer but it's available to mere mortals the rest of the time. There's also a large private swimming pool, tennis court and yoga pavilion amid acres of olive groves and serried rows of vines. Perched on a hilltop, Il Palagio is near the medieval town of Figline Valdarno and a 40-minute drive from Florence. The main house, which dates from the 16th century, has nine bedrooms with a further six bedrooms split between two cottages while cellars have been turned into dining rooms and a meditation room. With guitars and mandolins sprinkled around and its own recording studio, there are plenty of clues to the ownership (although to be fair, Il Palagio's website spells it out pretty clearly too). Details Seven nights' all-inclusive for 29 from £188,003 ( Fly to Florence/Pisa Best for architecture loversThis sprawling compound gives guests the choice of two celebrity owners to boast about. Located in the very smart Old Las Palmas area of Palm Springs, 432 Hermosa was built in 1964 by the architect Donald Wexler for the singer Dinah Shore. In 2014 Leonardo DiCaprio snapped it up. While the actor is said to stay regularly, you won't find much trace of him — instead, this sprawling single-storey building majoring in glass and glamour has been sensitively updated to showcase its mid-century heritage, with carports a built-in bar and more than a sprinkling of shag-pile carpet. This means that all the 1960s Palm Springs essentials are here to get starry-eyed about, including six bedrooms, seven (and a half) bathrooms and a swimming pool with a guest cottage, and views onto the San Jacinto mountain range beyond. Details Two nights' self-catering for 16 from £5,568 ( Fly to Palm Springs • 13 of the most luxurious villas in Europe Best for party tricks Think that owning a private island is pretty aspirational? In 2006 the American illusionist David Copperfield bought a chain of 11 islands in the Exumas, a district of the Bahamas made up of more than 365 islands and cays. Today it's the most high-octane private property in the Caribbean, sleeping up to 24 guests across a main house and a series of smaller properties. The turquoise waters and creamy sand have been augmented with all the ultra-luxury aquatic toys you can want, including jet skis and water trampolines. Copperfield has also added plenty of trademark touches. There's a secret village, a full-scale cinema called Dave's Drive-In and sculptures on the ocean floor to bring a bit of extra fun to snorkelling. Meanwhile the 30 staff have the magical ability to appear with cocktails and gourmet meals at any one of its 40 beaches. Details Five nights' all-inclusive for 12 from £211,590 ( Fly to the Bahamas Best for proper relaxationGentler than most celebrity holiday rentals, this three-bedroom villa is proof that the bad boy of rock has a very mellow side. Set on the beach (obviously), there's a touch of Balinese contemplation in the wooden decking and infinity-style swimming pool. Decorated in soothing creams and whites, the vibe is so serene, Richards has said that he'd like to see out his days here, but if the Rolling Stones tour again in 2026, there should be plenty of time to nip in. And you may get a starry neighbour thrown in. Just along the beach, Lucky House is owned by 1980s supermodel Christie Brinkley. Both villas have access to the hotel facilities of Parrot Cay, a short wander along the white sand beaches of this Caribbean island and come with butler service. Details Seven nights' B&B for six from £84,000, including flights, transfers and butler service ( Best for immersion in natureFrom the masks on the wall to the family photos and Illy espresso machine, this is the surprisingly low-key holiday hangout of one of the world's most famous film directors. Not content with winning five Oscars and starting a series of acclaimed vineyards, Coppola has also opened hotels in Italy, Guatemala and Argentina as well as Georgia, USA. But the director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now has a special affinity with Belize and recently made a collection of villas on the island available for exclusive hire. Blancaneaux Lodge, which he bought in 1980, was originally a family home, becoming a hotel in 1993. Deep in the rainforest, surrounded by ancient pines and palmetto trees, his own two-bedroom villa overlooks the Privassion River. Nature has primacy here; toucans drop in, a plunge pool and hammock beckons, and you can even rustle up a meal in the kitchenette, although a walkie-talkie means you're in constant touch with Blancaneaux's staff for meals and service.

Jennifer Lopez has gotten to work on a big project. The 55-year-old singer is giving a 'sexy glow up' to her new $21M nest that she snapped up in February after finalizing her divorce from husband of two years Ben Affleck. The over 10K-square-foot mansion is located in the gated Hidden Hills, California community where friends Kim and Khloe Kardashian as well as Kylie and Kris Jenner reside. 'Jennifer is renovating the home to her satisfaction,' an insider told 'She is spending a lot of money because it's big: there is the main house, the pool house and a guest house.' But this is business as usual for the Unstoppable actress. 'Jennifer renovates every home she moves into because she wants a certain look, the JLo touch, which makes the place her very own,' added the friend.

Jennifer Lopez has gotten to work on a big project. The 55-year-old singer is giving a 'sexy glow up' to her new $21M nest that she snapped up in February after finalizing her divorce from husband of two years Ben Affleck; seen on Monday in Las Vegas 'She has great style so she makes everything better. And she had very specific ideas for this place. Jennifer wants it light, bright and flirty,' said the source. It will be a great pad to enjoy the summer months, though she will be out of town often. Lopez's Up All Night: Live in 2025 summer tour will feature shows across Europe and beyond, beginning on July 4 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and concluding on August 7 in Istanbul, Turkey. She will also be performing in Las Vegas, where she used to have a residency. Her 56th birthday falls on July 24. The home celebrates her new life as a single woman after a painful split from Ben. The property is an hour drive from Affleck 's home in the Brentwood area, near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. earlier reported the single mother to twins Max and Emme moved for peace of mind. 'Jennifer wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and have a more relaxed home life in Hidden Hills,' said the source. 'It has nothing to do with getting away from Ben and his family and Jennifer and their kids. She is OK with them. It is about being in a more relaxed environment.' It also helps that the security is tops. 'She bought a home in a gated community where there is security personnel and cameras everywhere, it's extremely safe. This way she doesn't have to worry if Max rides his bicycle down a street or if Emme goes for a walk with a friend.' 'Jennifer wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and have a more relaxed home life in Hidden Hills,' said the source. 'It has nothing to do with getting away from Ben and his family. It is about being in a more relaxed environment.'(seen in January 2024) Jennifer has lived in the area before. In 2001 she had a house in Calabasas when she was wed to Cris Judd. This new house is quite the beauty. The sprawling 2.5-acre estate features a 10,046-square-foot main house, along with a barn, stables, a riding arena, a guest house, and a pool. For added luxury, the home boasts a private theater, a chef's kitchen, and a fully equipped gym. The property also has a touch of Hollywood history, having once been owned by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, who purchased it from Sylvester Stallone before selling it to Lopez. Meanwhile, Lopez and Affleck are still struggling to sell their $61 million Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased in May 2023. Initially attempting an off-market sale, they later publicly listed the 38,000-square-foot mansion for $68 million in July. Known as Crestview Manor, the lavish estate includes a 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom main house, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, a caretaker's house, and a 12-car garage. The property also boasts a home bar, gym, sports lounge, boxing ring, basketball and pickleball courts, and parking for up to 80 vehicles. The former couple accepted a $64 million offer from a New Jersey buyer, but the deal fell through in September, leaving the mansion back on the market as of December 5. TMZ reported that while the buyers remain 'interested,' the home remains unsold. A source told PEOPLE that Lopez and Affleck weren't fully aligned when they bought the house. 'The $68 million mansion was Ben's idea and a major compromise for her,' the insider revealed, noting that its expansive layout was ideal for their blended family. However, Lopez reportedly preferred a more romantic, European- inspired aesthetic, while Affleck soon found the home's location inconvenient for his Brentwood-based life and children. After months of speculation about their crumbling marriage, Lopez filed for divorce in August, citing April 26, 2024, as their date of separation. Affleck moved into a $20 million Brentwood home in September, placing him closer to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three children. Lopez and Affleck's rekindled romance, which began in 2021 after 17 years apart, saw them wed in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a star-studded celebration at Affleck's Georgia estate. Last month Affleck shed some light on the breakdown of his marriage to Lopez and his relationship with first wife Garner in a candid chat with British GQ. Affleck has insisted there was 'no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue' that caused their breakup. Admitting why he doesn't like to dwell too much on the split in interviews, he said that it wasn't a blame game but 'the reason I don't want to share that is just sort of embarrassing. It feels vulnerable.' Affleck also addressed his participation in the documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told - part three of his wife's $20 million media homage to their romance. Fans were quick to point out how disinterested he looked in the doc - where he openly said he felt 'uncomfortable' on camera and revealed he 'found their privacy sacred'. Doubling down on his remarks, Affleck explained: 'Part of it was, 'OK, if I'm going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that's interesting.' Because I thought it was an interesting examination.' Addressing the difference in their approach to fame, he continued: 'My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. 'As happens in relationships, you don't always have the same attitude towards these things. 'And so I thought, "Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that?" Because exactly what you said is true. I love and support this person. I believe in them. They're great. I want people to see that... You've got to own what you knew going into any relationship.' Clarifying that he 'has a lot of respect' for Lopez, the Oscar-winning actor added that fans would do well not to read too much into their documentary. He mused: 'I think it's important to say that wasn't the cause of some major fracture. It's not like you can watch that documentary and go, 'Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.''

Our quiet seaside village is being wrecked by celebrities and second home owners who buy our humble properties for stupid prices and turn them into monstrous retreats - we fear we're being priced out of our own homes
Families living in a Cornish village fear they will be priced out by Hollywood A-listers as more movie stars convert properties into holiday botholes. Cate Blanchett and Jason Statham are among those who have homes in Mawgan Porth, a peaceful former fishing village. The surfing spot has become a destination for the wealthy, who are increasingly converting bungalows into second homes and building mansions up the side of the hill. And while some business owners embrace the newcomers, not all locals are happy with the changing face of the quaint town. The Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings actress was believed to have been the first celebrity to buy a property in the village. Imogen Stubbs, Fifty Shades of Grey actor Jamie Dornan, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Hollywood actor and foodie Stanley Tucci are also reported to have bought properties there. Locals say the influx of A-list celebrities has 'ruined' the picturesque village and turned it into a 'building site' - with prices being hiked to 'unaffordable levels. John Bradley, a retired builder, has lived with his wife Barbara, 77, in the town for 19 years. He said: 'If you look across the road, five of the seven bungalows are holiday homes and do you think we're happy with that? 'People lived in one for 30 years and moved out of the country. This guy bought it and as soon as he comes in he wants to take the roof off and put another roof on it. I gave him my views straight away. 'There's a place down the road which is rented out for £7,500. It's just ridiculous. It's not even in keeping.' The stretch of properties along the seafront in Mawgan Porth features a series of multi-million pound developments that have attracted the rich and famous. At the heart of the cliff-top scene is a five-bed eco-home being built by the Oscar-winning Blanchett after she got planning permission to knock down the £1.6million cottage she bought with her playwright husband Andrew Upton. Pictures also show other 'Californian' style mansions that have taken over the landscape of traditional homes in what was once called 'Cornwall's best kept secret' that lies between Padstow and Newquay. Some have claimed the village has been 'overrun' with second homeowners and is left like a ghost town in winter. John, 81, has run a bed-and-breakfast in his house for several years but says he is against AirBnBs as they do not have to comply with as many regulations. He feared that the renovations set precedents for other neighbours to do the same to their properties and worried the council did not step in enough. John added: 'The only people benefiting from these second homes are the builders and gardeners. It keeps certain local people in work so in that way it's good but we have lost the community. 'I understand that when the top end of the earners have money, the most sensible place to put it is in accommodation. 'There's no doubt about it, it's safer than anywhere else, and any returns are going to be better than investing anywhere else. 'But it means that places like this become an empty shell and that is very sad. 'I would like to see celebrities contribute more to the community.' One resident said: 'I think locals are being priced out. 'We've got a humble little bungalow but every time someone comes and buys one, they knock it down and build some kind of monstrosity. 'I think it's losing its character because there is a lot of money coming in.' He said it was empty in winter but added: 'I don't mind it too much because I like the quiet.' 'It seems a waste but round here it's been like that. It is very holiday home-ish. 'It seems like they're taking away the character. I know everything has to get modern but that's not what we moved here for.' One of his neighbours had been replaced with an Airbnb and he said the ratio of permanent residents and second homes was about half and half. He said: 'We know lots of people have got to our age and have passed away, the houses have been sold off and they become a holiday home. He said the area's reputation attracted the wealthy which in turn priced out locals. The resident added: 'People are being priced out. I don't particularly blame Cate Blanchett but it's people like that. 'At the bottom of our garden something is being built. There are a lot of people with money.' Debbie, a retired resident said: 'Lived here 20-odd years. It doesn't bother me. There are couples and families living in the posh bit. If we moved our house would become a holiday home.' The 68-year-old said: 'There aren't many bungalows left now but they were all like this. 'There aren't many places to work here for young people to move in and get jobs. 'Jobs are poorly paid so there is no way you can afford a house. It's a lovely place as long as nothing else gets built up.' But Stuart Kirk, the owner of Bettie's general store, said Cate Blanchett's situation was not unique. He said: 'Because she's a celebrity everybody latches onto it. It happens in every village around Cornwall, people buying up homes. 'So many houses have been bought up for stupid money. An old client of ours sold her house for £900,000 and somebody literally just bought it and flattened it and built something else in its place. 'It was just a three-bedroom house. 'It's not specific to this area; it's happening all over Cornwall. 'I grew up in the area. I've owned this shop for 21 years now but when I first bought it in 2003 the houses were too expensive then anyway. 'It's because of the location.' The 53-year-old said: 'I see it as an issue from a business point of view. When I took over there were RAF houses and you would get constant trade coming through the village but now we still see regulars of all ages because there are still people living in the village here but the whole demographic does change. 'Somebody elderly might have a house here but their family might decide not to live here so then that generation and that family's gone. 'But I do think housing prices have topped and are starting to come down now. 'We do have a very strong community here. You can come down here on a winter's evening and see a lot of lights on. 'It's surprising how many people do live up there.' He said the programme Playing Nice starring James Norton had been filmed there which had attracted tourism and interest. He had seen Statham a few times and Stanley Tucci and his family often visited the surf shop to chat with them. 'We are proud', Stuart said. 'It is quite nice to have the reputation. 'I don't think the population will ever phase out. I don't think it will ever end up where the whole village is holiday homes. 'But if they are holiday homes, they're always occupied. If you speak to any holiday home owner around here, they're always booked up. 'There is always somebody here; it's not like it's going to be left empty for three months and we're going to be turned into a ghost town.'

Beverly Hills Estate Owned By A String Of Industry Titans Hits The Market At $17 Million
Tall gates and dense hedging ensure complete seclusion—essential for a residence that has welcomed a former president. Few buyers place 'previous owner' at the top of a must-have list, yet provenance casts color on every address. A storied history suggests how a house is lived in, loved, even re-engineered. At 708 North Rexford Drive in Beverly Hills, that color comes from an elite palette. Three power players—fashion mogul Max Azria, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos with former author, producer and former U.S. ambassador Nicole Avant, and Fox Television chief Jack Abernethy—have all at different times called these walls home. Built in 1923, the residence has been thoughtfully modernized while standing by its classic character. From the curb, the house projects discreet East Coast formality. A high hedge, twin motor courts and a black-slate rooftop adorned with dormer windows whisper New England more than Los Angeles. Step through the door and the illusion continues. Traditional millwork and formal rooms project buttoned-up composure. Yet sliding walls open to a sun-bleached pool deck—pure California. Style says tux, setting says swimsuit. Living areas favor the formality of measured layouts and polished finishes. Speaking of attire, Max Azria, founder of women's fashion brand BCBG (not to be confused with CBGB, the legendary dive bar turned NYC punk nirvana), likely found the six-bedroom layout perfect for his eye for fashion. Twin dressing areas—with closets spacious enough to host a season's collection—surely proved irresistible. The short hop to Rodeo Drive's designer ateliers only sweetened the choice. Time and temperature recommend the gathering scene: brisk coffee around the kitchen island in the morning, a chilled white on the patio once the air turns warm. Azria's buyers, Sarandos and Avant, brought a different spotlight. In 2012, the power couple staged a private fundraiser here for President Barack Obama. No press allowed. Guest cars curled through the dual motor courts and vanished behind foliage. Inside, the floor plan proved more than hospitable. Formal living and library corridored into a glassy family room, then spilled outdoors to a lantern-lit dining grove. Tickets ran towards $40,000 a seat. Proof positive that this architecture can handle both intimate scripts and box-office blockbusters. The keys would eventually land in the hands of 708 North Rexford Drive's current owner, Jack Abernethy, who quickly went to work behind the scenes. The Fox executive relocated the kitchen to the back of the house. Now marble countertops spectate as family and guests cannonball into a newly minted pool. A guest cottage sprang up a few steps away, outfitted with its own fireplace and two baths. The overhaul moved the heart of the home toward the garden, coaxing people outside, letting conversation track the sun across the lawn. The primary suite doubles its indulgence with twin closets and separate ensuite baths. Private quarters remain suitably elevated. The primary suite pushes onto an airy terrace with a fireplace. Two secondary suites play their own balconies. A convertible fifth bedroom waits on the main floor for staff, teenage independence… or a sudden brainstorm that needs an office by morning. Location completes the portrait. The Flats earns its name from—you guessed it—flat ground that stalls just before the Santa Monica Mountains begin to climb skyward. That gentle topography means quick hops to studios along Pico, red-carpet premieres on Hollywood Boulevard, late dinners on Rodeo Drive. The Beverly Hills Hotel glows five minutes away. Private jets at Van Nuys break the horizon in under half an hour. For executives who measure days in such increments, minutes matter. A detached guest house—equipped with living room, kitchen, bedroom and two baths—grants visitors enviable poolside access. So does legacy. A house that has inspired couture, courted presidents and rewritten prime-time schedules speaks to more than square footage. It signals uncompromising standards. Buyers may not list 'former owner' on a spreadsheet, yet the notion hovers. Who actually lived here? At 708 North Rexford, the cohort is hard to ignore, with each name a benchmark of success. The home rose to their levels. Now the question is: who will shape its legacy next? Priced at $16.85 million, the listing for 708 N Rexford is held by Brett Lawyer of Carolwood Estates.
