With people finally feeling the return of the travel bug it seemed as though pretty much every person whether they’re from the southern or northern hemisphere decided to take a much-needed holiday during 2023. And of course, this includes some of our favourite celebrities.
Whether they were jet-setting off the Europe, traveling to the nearest tropical paradise or taking a much-needed staycation, we know one thing for sure, over the past few months we’ve seen a handful of stars and their loved ones touch down in enviable locations.
Hamish & Zoë Foster Blake
Known for their brilliantly adventurous holidays, the Blake Family’s travels this year were no exception. After a bike riding tour of New Zealand back in January, the family of four made their way to Japan where they explored Tokyo and Kyoto, visited Disneyland Japan and even had a ‘Ninja Experience’. Zoë posted to her Instagram:
“Udon know just how much we enjoyed our trip to Japan! Was such excellent, excellent fun to explore Tokyo and Kyoto as a family, and really crank our tourism dial up to an 11. We loved it so matcha. Thank you for being Japan, Japan. There’s no one else like you.
Ps Made a highlight of all the, um, highlights.”

Returning from Japan, Hamish and Zoë weren’t home for too long before they were off again taking off on another family bike ride but this time through France. The Blakes on Bikes spent five days riding through Provence before spending some relaxing time in the South of France followed by a special trip to Denmark where they celebrated Rudy’s sixth birthday at LEGOLand.

But don’t worry, they managed to make it home before Hamish’s most anticipated annual Cake Night.
Chrissy Teigen & John Legend

Sunning it up in Mexico, the model shared happy snaps of her family lounging by the pool, having fun on the beach and indulging in some sweet treats.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker
It’s no secret that the Kardashians know a thing or two about holidaying and with an annual trip to Italy every (northern hemisphere) summer for the past few years Kourtney Kardashian Barker continued her tradition but being further along in her pregnancy this time the reality tv star vacayed a little closer to home. In the stunning location of Hawaii, the soon Mum of four revealed that she took her daughter Penelope and her friends to the tropical paradise to celebrate P’s eleventh birthday. Showing off her baby bump in two-piece bikinis, Kourtney shared photos of the girls on their trip (including Kim Kardashian‘s eldest daughter North) having fun and enjoying the sun.

Ashley Graham
Mum of three, Ashley Graham travelled to Italy in June with her husband on a couple’s getaway that we are for sure jealous of. With a carousel of photos showing their time spent in Scilla, the model wrote:
“Scilla, a hidden gem by the sea in the South of Italy, is a place I hope to call home one day. It’s a coastal treasure with so much charm, beauty, and culture – I can’t help but want to share Scilla with the world. When planning your next European adventure, don’t forget to add this magical town to your itinerary”

Martha Kalifatidis & Michael Brunelli
Now it certainly seemed as though at one point or another, pretty much everyone was in Europe this year including MAFS couple Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli. With little Lucius only five months old, they began their trip in Lake Como for a wedding, a quick stopover in Milan and ended in Rome. Martha made a super sweet post on Instagram during their stay in Rome as it happened to be the location where the couple found out they were in fact pregnant with baby Lucius.
“This time last year when we were in Rome we found out I was pregnant… today you’re 5 months and I still don’t believe you’re here and you’re ours.”

Matty J & Laura Byrne
It seems that another popular destination for the stars this year has been Fiji. Bachelor alumni Matty J and Laura who tied the knot earlier in 2023 finally took their honeymoon to the tropical destination and even brought the kids along for it. Laura hilariously captioned her post about the trip:
“Honeymoons are supposed to be the most romantic time of your life, and there is nothing that screams romance quite like 4 kids, getting your period on day one and a husband whose hobby is swimming lengths of the hotel pool underwater.
FIJI you’re BULA-tiful, cheers to the best week with the ones I love the most”
