A Year of Design-forward Hotels, Seaside Rituals, and Perfectly Timed Escapes - Where Dua Lipa Spent her Time Away in 2025
Il San Pietro: Positano
There’s a certain kind of travel that isn’t about being seen - it’s about being held. By the place, the pace, the pause. Over the past year, Dua Lipa’s hotel stays have quietly traced a map of what modern luxury looks like when it’s done well: rooted in landscape, respectful of rhythm, and designed for staying put. These aren’t just beautiful backdrops; they’re destinations that reward lingering, unstructured days, and the luxury of doing less. This is where she’s been checking in - and why these places matter.
Hotel Esencia | Riviera Maya
Hotel Esencia is the kind of place where luxury quiets itself - where days unfold slowly, design feels effortless, and the greatest indulgence is how unbothered you’re allowed to be. Morning swims blur into long lunches, rooms feel more like private sanctuaries than hotel suites, and the overall effect is deeply calming. It’s a reminder that true luxury often whispers.
One&Only Mandarina | Riviera Nayarit
One&Only Mandarina feels like disappearing into the jungle on purpose - where architecture bends to the landscape, time loosens its grip, and luxury is measured by how completely you unplug. It’s immersive, grounding, and quietly spectacular - designed for travelers who want to feel somewhere, not just stay there.
Belmond La Residencia | Mallorca
A hillside refuge where art, heritage, and the Mallorcan landscape move at the same unhurried pace, inviting you to linger longer than planned. Tucked into the village of Deià, La Residencia feels lived-in in the best way - like a place with memory and soul. It’s Mediterranean life, refined but never rushed.
Hotel Il San Pietro | Positano
A lesson in beautiful excess - arriving by boat, dining above the sea, and letting the Amalfi drama do all the talking. Perched high above the water, Hotel San Pietro leans fully into romance and spectacle. Every arrival feels cinematic, every view insists on your attention. It’s indulgent, iconic, and unapologetically grand - the kind of place that defines a destination rather than blends into it.
GoldenEye | Jamaica
Part hideaway, part cultural landmark, GoldenEye is where barefoot luxury meets legacy, and days are guided more by rhythm than routine. It’s soulful, storied, and refreshingly unpolished—a place that invites you to slow all the way down.
Villa Igiea | Sicily
Villa Igiea is Sicilian grandeur softened by the sea - where Belle Époque elegance, palm-lined terraces, and unhurried days give Palermo a quieter, more romantic rhythm. Overlooking the Tyrrhenian coast, the hotel feels both stately and serene, grounding guests in history while offering space to slow down. It’s the kind of place where afternoons drift, aperitivos stretch, and Sicily reveals itself gently rather than all at once.
Six Senses Ibiza | Spain
Six Senses Ibiza is a modern retreat rooted in ritual - where barefoot mornings, cliffside stillness, and a reverence for nature redefine luxury as balance rather than excess. Set on the island’s quieter northern edge, it trades nightlife for nourishment, inviting guests into a slower, more intentional version of Ibiza. Think sunrise swims, sound healing, and days that feel restorative rather than indulgent.
