Inside celebrity holiday hotspot that's a favourite of Dua Lipa and Chloe Sims
While Ibiza in Spain is still the top celebrity vacation spot, leading in both celebrity visits and 20million Instagram tags, it's not the only party destination attracting the 'in crowd'.
A recent study by Otherworld has identified the top celebrity-approved holiday spots of 2025 based on confirmed celebrity sightings from 2023 to 2025. These destinations were ranked using Instagram hashtag counts, Google searches, number of fine dining venues, and average cost per night at a 5-star hotel.
And while the Dominican Republic came in second, you may be surprised by which destination slipped into third.
Tulum in Mexico has a spectacular coastline, overlooks the Caribbean Sea and has welcomed famous holidaymakers including Lottie Moss and Austin Butler to name just a few. It's slightly more popular on Instagram than the Dominican Republic, with 9.4 million tags.
But what really sets it apart is the cost, at $251 per night - or £186 - for a five-star hotel, making it the most budget-friendly luxury spot on this list.
However, some visitors warn this magical paradise is losing its appeal because it's becoming overrun with tourists.
Tulum attracts close to two million visitors every year - a number expected to rise sharply following the opening of Tulum International Airport.
Travel experts over at Lonely Planet still hail the destination for its 'cobalt water', stunning beaches, and close proximity to ancient Mayan ruins as well as the underground world of cenotes.
Often dubbed 'the new Dubai' by the flock of influencers flying out there to impress their fans. You can fly to Tulum, Mexico from London, Manchester and Birmingham - with most routes including a stopover in New York.
A spokesperson from Otherworld commented on the study: 'Some places attract stars because they're remote and private, others because they're easy to post about. What's interesting is how much that mix varies.
"You've got destinations where everything's built around luxury, and others where it's about vibe and visibility. That difference is shaping how people, celebrity or not, think about where they want to go next.'
Meanwhile, Ibiza, Spain is one of the top celebrity-approved vacation spots of 2025, with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kendall Jenner spotted there in the last two years.
The spot has over 20million Instagram tags, and offers the most fine dining options (136). Five-star hotels average $695 a night, which is less than many other luxury destinations.
The Dominican Republic stands out for its number of luxury stays, with over 3,200 resorts and villas, more than any other place here.
It may not be as Instagram-famous as Ibiza, but it still pulls strong celebrity interest, including Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. At $359 per night, it also offers some of the lowest five-star rates.

Figures uploaded to Companies House this week show the firm is £22,850 in the red for 2024 - following a £18,000 surplus last year. Annual accounts show the GB News host has creditors of almost £150,000 to pay. In addition, he also had a Corporation Tax rebate of £39,173 paid by HMRC. Eamonn has assets that make up some of the shortfall, which is why the firm is £20k+ in the red once that's taken into account. The Sun has approached Eamonn's rep for comment. The former This Morning host – who split from wife Ruth Langsford a year ago – continues to work despite a worsening health condition. The 65-year-old has been experiencing ongoing health issues, including chronic back pain - which he's attributed to slipped discs and a 2022 spinal surgery. Eamonn has also spoken about difficulties walking and reliance on a walking frame or wheelchair. He's also struggled with shingles and has talked about experiencing difficulty seeing, even with his reading glasses. Eamonn Holmes reveals feud with 80s pop legend in on-air rant Last month he said he was in pain, 'even when the sun shines'. Sharing a selfie on Instagram, he penned: "Even when the sun shines there's pain. "Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life. 'So pray for me, help me or get out of the way social media haters.' He is now in a relationship with Yorkshire counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.

June 2019 - On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits "compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal," while Ruth said it was "laughter and an equal marriage". November 2020 - Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in a 'show shake-up'.
