Football superstar David Beckham has guaranteed a white Christmas with a difference, swapping the snow for the powder white sands of the Maldives in a spectacular private island vacation.

According to British press reports, former Manchester United ace David Beckham will be starting 2015 in style – seeing in the New Year from a seven-star private island in the Maldives alongside his wife, Victoria, children Brooklyn (15), Romeo (12), Cruz (9) and Harper (3), as well as a group of close friends, which is said to include showbiz chef Gordon Ramsey.
Despite infamously having to cut short their GBP 250,000 Maldives private island after three days of dramatic downpours holiday back in 2012, the far-flung festive celebration is becoming something of a tradition for the Beckham clan, who are reported to be firm fans of the tiny island republic’s longest-established celebrity haunt, the One & Only Reethi Rah after staying there during last year’s luxury Maldivian jaunt.
Whilst Private Island News is – of course – not at liberty to disclose which of the Maldives’ many private island jewels the Beckhams will be jetting off to this year, with the help of the Vladi Island Travel team (the first and only travel agency dedicated exclusively to private island travel), we are able to give our lucky readers a run-down of this year’s hottest resorts. And the best bit? Several are still available throughout the festive season, so it’s not too late to put them on your Christmas list – e-mail travel@vladi.de or call +49 40 46 000 730 now for more details.
