It’s unlikely to be financial hardship that’s driven celebrities to rent out their holiday homes, but if you’re after a Caribbean holiday and you’ve money to burn, there are a number of places that you could stay.
If you’re after a palatial Barbados pad, that of Sir Anthony Bamford and Lady Bamford is available. At £9,000 a week and no last minute deals, you can expect a certain level of luxury and with an Olympic sized pool, tennis courts and exquisite gardens, you should get just that.
Perhaps even more intriguingly, Richard Branson rents out his place in the British Virgin Islands for £8,000 a week and Bruce Willis rents his in the Turks and Caicos for £6,000 a week.
Mick Jagger has a seafront pad that was originally leased out secretly, but once it became known that it belonged to the Rolling Stone, the letting agents have played on that fact. Now holidaymakers looking on luxury rental sites might happen across it and be tempted by the bargain £10,000 a week price tag.
Other celebrities leasing out their own properties include Pierce Brosnan, Gary Lineker and Andrew Flintoff. The biggest bargain comes from Beatles producer, Sir George Martin however, who offers his rooms for just £50 a night – by invite only though.
