From a yacht trip to exploring fabulous foreign countries, we’ve rounded up some of the most amazing vacations A-list stars took over the holidays.

Pop star Dua Lipa has built a reputation as a globetrotter. Its launch until 2024 was no exception. The “Training Season” singer took to Instagram to share a slideshow of her time in India, including posing with an elephant and showing off the safari she went on.

“Thank you to all the wonderful people here who have shown us so much love, kindness, hospitality and generosity,” Lipa wrote. “This experience was deeply meaningful. I feel blessed to be in magic and within my family where we had time to explore, regroup, recharge and reboot. Ready for next year. What a joy!!!”
