Dustin and family holiday on celeb-filled Caribbean isle

Veteran silver screen star Dustin Hoffman this week joined the exclusive ranks of A list names who've made the Caribbean island of St Barts one of this winter's most popular celeb hot-spots.

Like Desperate Housewives star Nicolette Sheridan and her crooner beau Michael Bolton, diva songstress Mariah Carey, and UK-born Kelly Brook and fiancé Billy Zane, the Finding Neverland star has been chilling out with his family during a break on the paradise isle.

After enjoying a relaxing lunch on neighbouring Pinel Island, the family - headed by the Oscar-winner and his attorney wife Lisa Gottsegen - treated themselves to a therapeutic mudbath.

No doubt Dustin is relishing the island's tropical climate after spending time in rainy London lensing Last Chance Harvey, in which he co-stars alongside Emma Thomson. And the family holiday should give the busy actor time to recharge his batteries ready for the year ahead, too. He has an action-packed 2008 lined-up, with three new films in the pipeline.
