When the rich and famous need an escape from the oppressive adoration of us dull normals, they tend to spare no expense to head somewhere exclusive, where the premium is on personal privacy.

Of course, with a few exceptions, these fabulous destinations are open to just about anyone who can pony up the cash. So even the little people can live it up celebrity style if they so choose. Here are some of the best places in the world to vacation like a star.

Saint-Tropez, France

If the French Riviera is a playground for the wealthy, Saint-Tropez is the rumpus room. Ever since Brigitte Bardot’s heyday, Europe’s elite has had a torrid love affair with the place. What makes one location so desirable for so long? Who knows? Whatever it is, Saint-Tropez has held that mysterious allure ever since the Invasion of Normandy. The beaches are gorgeous enough, the hotels swanky and the yachts oh-so secretive – not to mention bigger than your house.
