While the rest of us have been in that post-Christmas slump and state of confusion, stars including Rochelle Humes, Scarlett Moffatt, Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster have been living their best lives on lavish holidays around the globe. Where better to ring in the New Year than a luxurious five-star resort in the Maldives or the sun-soaked beaches of Dubai? We’ve rounded up some of the best celebrity holiday photos that will leave you motivated to book your 2019 getaway (and maybe start that New Year health kick, too).
Rochelle and Marvin Humes:
The couple are back in the Maldives for another year, where Marvin will be playing DJ at the Kandima resort’s New Year’s Eve party. But it’s not exactly all work and no play, Rochelle and Marvin have been making the most of the beautiful beaches, idyllic weather and lavish restaurants along with their two young daughters, and haven’t been able to resist sharing several photos from their break on social media.
Rio Ferdinand and Kate Wright:
Lucky Rio Ferdinand and Kate Wright have also jetted off to the Maldives for the New Year, along with his three children. While there they had the opportunity to enjoy a special treat, dining at the underwater restaurant at their luxury resort!
Sam Faiers:
The Maldives is the place to be this New Year! Sam Faiers and her family have been enjoying an extended break there over the Christmas holidays, where they have also celebrated both Sam and her son Paul’s birthdays. And they’ve bumped into some other famous faces too, including England manager Gareth Southgate, Jaime Winstone and Rita Ora.
