The Best Celebrity Vacations of 2024, Ranked in Order of How Badly I Wish I’d Taken Them


Vacation: It is, famously, all The Go-Go’s ever wanted (vay-cay-tion, had to get away!), but it’s also an exercise in capitalist comparison and ensuing despair. Personally, I can’t seem to scroll through my Instagram feed these days without learning that seemingly everyone who used to bully me in middle school is currently in Lisbon. And when it comes to celebrity vacations, my heart is even smaller, colder, and more infected with jealousy. Good for them, but also…that should be me on that yacht in the Mediterranean!

Sure, most celebrities work hard (I mean, not ER-nurse hard or third-grade-teacher hard, but they’re definitely called upon to put in the hustle in their own way), and yes, I’m a socialist who believes we should basically all be on government-sponsored holidays all of the time, but I still can’t help going green with envy at the sight of some of our most beloved music, TV, and film stars getting away from it all during the summer. And so, without further ado, here’s a ranking of the celebrity vacations that I wish I had taken this summer.

Stockholm looks beautiful and all, but it’s too much biking for me. Next!

This is the energy I hope to embody every day of my life, even though I am rarely on a yacht and even more infrequently in Ibiza.

5. Nicole Kidman (and her hat) on Fire Island

“I got a lot of love,” Kidman said in a recent interview of her visits to New York’s gay beach haven (possibly not actually this summer, but play along)â€"adding that she used a time-tested accessory to avoid undue attention: “I wore a hat.” I can’t believe that worked, but I am jealous of the Fire Island visitors who got to party next to an incognito Nicole Kidman without even knowing it!

4. Magic and Cookie Johnson’s French party yacht
