What is a summer holiday without a trip to the world famous Club 55 St Tropez France. Ever since the discovery of Pampelonne beach by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s, holiday makers and celebrities alike have flocked to Club 55, making it the institution that it is today!
The French Riviera is awash with celebrities as the 2015 Cannes Film Festival continues and Monaco Grand Prix is speeding towards us. There’s a constant flow of stars flying in and out of Nice airport, hopping on and off yachts in the old port of Cannes and posting pictures all over their social media accounts.
So where are the celebrities spending their time? What are they getting up to when they’re not walking the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals or partying in to the night with other stars at Cannes 2015.
Offering year round sunshine and steeped in history, the Bahamas is one of our favourite charter spots. Follow in the steps of Christopher Columbus who first made landfall in the New World here, pirates who used the islands as a haven in the 1600s and where British loyalists made their homes following the American Revolution. With 29 islands, 661 cays and nearly 2400 islets surrounded by clear turquoise water, it is a sailor’s paradise. Located just 100 miles off the Florida coast and a two hour flight from New York you can find yourself relaxing on a warm teak deck in record time.
This week is our Cannes Film Festival special, with some of the greatest charter yachts in the world gracing the bay and port of Cannes with their presence, it’s a spectacle on the water as much as inside the Palais des Festivals. In the port you’ll see the seasoned event yachts with their experienced crews working away to cater to the discerning taste of the film industry’s youngest and brightest, and one yacht in particular has caught our eye. HARLE is a 45-metre Feadship, built to the highest standard in 2007. She offers space for 12 guests to sleep, as well as excellent open social areas both inside and out.
We know the action is all around Cannes at the moment, with Cannes Film Festival well in to its third day of the programme, and soon the stars will be flocking towards Monaco as well in light of the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix. But do you get a little tired of the hustle and bustle? It’s clear that actress Charlize Theron wanted to step out of the limelight for a little while before she stepped on to the red carpet for the première of Mad Max: Fury Road in a stunning gown by Dior. So where did she go?
