From Brad and Angelina, to Madonna, President Barack Obama, movie, music and TV stars are spending their vacation time away from the crowds and the cameras, and hiding away in luxurious, private vacation homes. Heres the top 7 reasons why!
1. Privacy
A vacation isnt much of a vacation when youre surrounded by adoring fans screaming for your autograph, or ducking paparazzi around every corner. Which is why you dont see major movie and TV stars spending their vacation time at hotels. Instead, famous faces know that in order to really get away from it all, the key is to check in to a private vacation home. Unlike hotels that cater to the public, a vacation home offers guests a real escape from the outside world, with a level of total privacy a hotel just cant match. So they can bare all by the pool without worrying about winding up on the cover of a tabloid next week.
2. Space For Their Stuff
The rich and famous dont typically travel light. They may be heading out of town to get away from it all, but at the same time, they need to make sure theyre ready for anything from lunch with the big-name director who happens to be in town to a formal dinner party on a yacht. Thats why the stars tend to bring MORE than what they need, just in case. Which is why theyre bypassing the big hotels and settling in to roomy vacation homes – where they have plenty of space for the tuxedo, the ball gown AND the scuba gear.
3. Room For An Entourge
Just as they dont travel light, celebs also dont travel alone. Theres the personal assistant, the personal trainer, the hair and makeup guy (or gal), plus family, friends, acquaintances and hangers onin other words, more people than you can possibly fit in even the largest hotel suite. And thats why the stars are bringing the whole entourage to roomy vacation homes where everyone can spread out and enjoy their time together.
4. Exclusivity
Celebrities like to stay on the cutting edge of trends they dont follow the herd and do what everybody else is doing. Why should they, when they can afford to set the trends and set themselves apart from the crowd? So instead of following the masses to whatever resort is popular each season, the stars prefer to create a vacation that is uniquely, exclusively theirs by escaping to a luxury vacation home. After all, what could be more exclusive than your own, private paradise, reserved only for you and the people you want around you?
5. Peace and Quiet
Lets face it people are noisy. And people who have a lot of money to spend on fancy hotel rooms are no exception. Their kids fight and splash in the pool. They have parties at all hours of the night. They argue, they laugh, they basically live their lives. Which is fine for them. But if youre on vacation trying to get away from it all, its not necessarily fine for you. No wonder so many celebrities are skipping noisy hotels altogether and opting to stay in peaceful, private vacation homes. That way, if a wild party keeps them up all night, at least it will be their wild party!
6. Freedom
A vacation is the time to do what you want to do when you want to do it and no one knows that better than celebrities, who are used to getting their own way. But even the most luxurious hotel has limits. Hankering for a late-night swim after the pool has closed? No can do. Feel like spending the day in your bathrobe without getting dressed? Youll not want to leave the privacy of your room if you stay in a hotel but a vacation home gives you the freedom to spend your vacation the way you like. And if that means eating a grilled cheese sandwich in the pool at 2:30am, go for it!
7. Luxury
In travel, as in their day-to-day lives, celebrities demand the best. And theyre finding the best in luxurious, comfortable vacation homes. Dining rooms where they can entertain friends. Spacious living rooms where they can spread out and enjoy all the comforts of home. Their own, private swimming pools and Jacuzzis. With so many options, theres no longer any reason to settle for less than the best. Which probably explains why, when it comes to travel, vacation homes are topping the list of celebrity trends.
So now you see why the rich and famous are making vacation home rentals such a fast-growing travel trend. And the best part is, these advantages arent just for celebrities.
