Celebrities flock to St. Barts for holiday

From Heidi Klum to Rihanna, stars swarmed to the exclusive island for some Christmastime rest and relaxation.



Celebrities Holiday in St. Barts

This holiday season, stars gifted themselves… with vacations to the exclusive Caribbean island. From Heidi Klum soaking up the sun with her younger beau, Vito Schnabel, to Rihanna partying it up with pals, see photos of celebs kicking back on the secluded isle.

Aspen isn't for everyone! Some Hollywooders headed for warmer climates over the break, and one of the most popular destinations was St. Barts. The island is both secluded and exclusive (there are only about two dozen hotels), making it a favorite of A-listers, including Rihanna. After spending Christmas in her native Barbados, the songstress island hopped. When she wasn't partying with friends (yep, she's clutching a cocktail menu), she was taking her own close-up bikini shots. (1/1/15)

 

Heidi Klum's getaway was of the romantic variety. The model and TV personality enjoyed couple time with Vito Schnabel, her art dealer beau of nearly a year, while her ex-husband Seal took their children on a ski trip. She posted an Instagram photo of their sandy beach feet intertwined, writing, "Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2015." Looks like things are off to a good start for her already.

Single again, Leonardo DiCaprio was ready to mingle over the holidays — and surrounded himself with a bevy of bikini-clad beauties on the shores of the island. The bearded and bunned actor wasn't lacking for companionship, making us wonder if one of these model types will soon become his next squeeze.                         

Salma Hayek enjoyed an extended stay on the island with her businessman husband, François-Henri Pinault, and their daughter, Valentina. Early during the trip she made a splash by rocking a black bikini, but she wore a long, lacy cover-up for this day out. (12/26/14)

Diddy made the scene aboard a private yacht — one of his favorite ways to vacation. In tow? His children. And why are we not surprised to see that the mogul has a selfie stick? He must be planning to up his social media game in 2015. (12/27/14)

Stella McCartney was also up for some big sea adventures. The designer dressed down in cut-off shorts for a spin on a boat with her fam. (1/4/15)

Not all celebs had drama-free vacations on St. Barts. The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney dislocated his shoulder on his trip. According to TMZ, the incident occurred when a wave slammed him to the ocean floor, and he was taken to the hospital for treatment. "Tune into my new lifetime movie. 'Dislocated shoulder' airing right now,' the drummer wrote along with these Instagram photos. No word how this will impact the band's tour, which resumes Feb. 6.
