The entire Beckham brood reportedly descended on the resort of Nihi Sumba in the Indonesia Archipelago in August. The hotel is found on the relatively undiscovered island of Sumba, located south-east of neighbouring (and more visited) island Bali. The resort has 21 wood and thatch villas all complete with gardens amid "hundreds of acres" of land. Luxury holiday operator Scott Dunn offers a seven-night trip to Indonesia (five nights at Nihi Sumba) from £3,700 per person.

The chat show host extraordinaire and wife of Portia de Rossi headed out to the Insta-famous Giraffe Manor in May. Owned by the Safari Collection and set within 12 acres of private land on a forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, the Manor has garnered attention due to the herd of Rothschild's giraffes who visit morning and evening. Rates start from $525 (£412) per person sharing per night.

After her defeat in the Wimbledon finals, following an incredible tournament just 10 months after giving birth, Serena headed to the exquisite Italian countryside to recuperate with her husband Alexis, daughter Olympia and dog Chip. Her hotel of choice was the five-star Espace Chenot - L'Albereta, nestled within the remote hills and vineyards of Erbusco in northern Italy. The hotel centres around health and wellness, making it ideal for Serena's post-tournament downtime, and is perfectly secluded and hidden, too.

Immediately after attending his former co-star Meghan's royal wedding to Prince Harry in May, Patrick J Adams and his Pretty Little Liars actress wife Troian Bellisario hopped on a plane to the chic island of Mykonos. The couple stayed in celebrity-favourite Cavo Tagoo which is found on a cliffside overlooking the Agean sea (just look at that infinity pool complete with floating sunbeds). Rates in low season start at €600 (£530) and in high season go up to €1150 (£1000) per night.

The model and a group of friends chose the Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel on the Caribbean island of Grenada for their summer 2018 holiday - where she also celebrated her 28th birthday. The intimate, family-run resort is home to 30 suites and five estate homes. Rooms start at $430 (£330) per night in low-season.

The Victoria's Secret model headed to the White Isle last month with friends. With so many luxurious hospitality options on the Spanish island, Alessandra opted for Me Ibiza, which has 205 rooms and is found on the eastern side of the party isle. Though the area of Santa Eulalia might be more secluded than other areas of Ibiza, ME provides its own entertainment with its Radio Rooftop bar hosting world famous DJs and Michelin-starred restaurant pop-ups. Prices start from €225 + VAT in low season and from €450 in high season.

While Iceland might not immediately spring to mind as a go-to summer destination, Pitch Perfect's Rebel Wilson apparently can't recommend it enough. The actress devoted numerous paragraphs to the destination on Instagram, in particular The Retreat hotel, found in the country's Blue Lagoon, which she said was "the best" (while also reiterating that it wasn't a sponsored post). The £1,000-a-night hotel is the first luxury offering at the Blue Lagoon and features 62 suites which come with stunning views of the lava or direct access to the lagoon itself.

In June, the model flew across the Atlantic to enjoy a holiday with her daughters at the famed Hotel du Cap-Eden-Rocon the south coast of France. The resort has 117 guest rooms, a spectacular infinity pool with ocean views and, of course, its iconic gymnasium-style apparatus which dangles over the sea.
