Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise – The Maldives

Who: One of the world’s most controversial and legendary acting couples chose to spend their honeymoon in the Maldives. Tom Cruise made his breakthrough back in the 1980s in films such as *The Outsiders* and *Top Gun*, and in recent years we’ve seen him in the *Mission: Impossible* films, amongst others. We first saw Katie Holmes in the series “Dawson’s Creek”, but these days she is best known as a style icon. When the couple met, rumours circulated that Katie had been brainwashed by the Scientologists into marriage and pregnancy. When Tom did a happy little jump on a talk show sofa, the world thought he was completely ‘bananas’. Katie has claimed in several interviews that she fell in love with Tom Cruise when she was just a little girl and is said to have told her sisters, ‘I’m going to marry him’.
Where did they stay: Both on a yacht and at the Baros Hotel, which is situated on its own island and surrounded by turquoise lagoons. The hotel naturally features a spa and 24-hour service.
Who’s the Maldives for: The Maldives are situated in the Indian Ocean and comprise 1,192 islands, 200 of which are inhabited. The Maldives are known as “the last paradise on earth” because of their crystal-clear blue waters, chalk-white sandy beaches and tropical islands. The Maldives are famous for their coral reefs, and many divers travel there to snorkel amongst exotic fish. The Maldives are ideal for those who want to relax under palm trees as well as seek adventure. The weather is unpredictable, and you may have to put up with both storms and torrential rain if you’re unlucky.

Who: If you don’t know who Elvis is, just Google “The King”. The world’s most famous singer chose to marry Priscilla in Las Vegas and then headed to Palm Springs for his honeymoon.

Where did they stay? They spent their honeymoon in the house that is now the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway, and Elvis continued to escape there from his Graceland whenever he wanted some peace and quiet. Newlyweds can book a stay there, enjoying views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, a swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as a stunning bubblegum-pink bedroom to spend the night in. You can even get married there. The house was designed in the 1960s and is incredibly posh. It’s often used for film shoots, and many celebrities have been photographed there. You can also go on guided tours and hire the house for seminars and conferences. You can even stay nearby at one of the Elvis-inspired hotels.
Who’s Palm Springs for: Palm Springs is in Southern California and is perfect for anyone who loves golf and glamour. Celebrities were already flocking here as far back as the 1920s, and the streets are named after various celebrities such as Frank Sinatra. If you’re into old Hollywood, you can go on guided tours to see the summer homes of various stars, as well as take a ‘Walk of Stars’. What’s more, Palm Springs is full of typical American fast-food joints, so you can tuck into peanut butter and burgers à la Elvis.
