Celebrity hospitality is having a moment, with Hollywood stars increasingly putting their names \u2014 and money \u2014 behind wellness retreats, boutique hotels and oceanfront resorts. Here\u2019s a guide to the celebrity wellness retreats and properties where you can vacation like your favorite stars.<\/p>\n

Hugh Jackman \u2014 Gwinganna Health Retreat<\/h2>\n

Hugh Jackman<\/strong> is a co-owner of Gwinganna Health Retreat, located inland from Queensland\u2019s Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

Gwinganna, which launched in 2006, focuses on structured wellness experiences. Guests start the day with sunrise qi gong sessions \u2014 a practice similar to tai chi \u2014 often held outdoors among local wildlife including wallabies. Daily activities include boxing, hiking, water polo and yoga. Meals center on clean eating, with much of the produce sourced from the retreat\u2019s own organic gardens and served on an outdoor dining deck.<\/p>\n

Olivia Newton-John \u2014 Gaia Retreat & Spa<\/h2>\n

The late Grease<\/em> actress co-founded Gaia Retreat & Spa, a 25-acre property near Byron Bay in New South Wales.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2005 with Gregg Cave<\/strong>, Ruth Kalnin<\/strong> and Warwick Evans<\/strong>, takes its name from Gaia, the ancient Greek mother goddess of the earth. The property\u2019s design reflects a focus on helping guests reconnect with nature and their spiritual center. Gaia offers personalized wellness packages tailored to guests\u2019 health and fitness goals, with residential-style rooms and villas that look out over the New South Wales countryside. The 25-acre property has become a destination for travelers seeking both privacy and personalized wellness programming.<\/p>\n

Newton-John was effusive about her own retreat\u2019s offerings. \u201cThe best breakfast in the world is at Gaia,\u201d she told Forbes<\/a><\/em> in 2020. \u201cI can tell you that. I have eaten all over the world at every fancy restaurant, and the breakfast at Gaia is the best breakfast in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert De Niro \u2014 The Greenwich Hotel<\/h2>\n

Robert De Niro<\/strong> opened The Greenwich Hotel in Manhattan\u2019s TriBeCa neighborhood in 2008.<\/p>\n

The Greenwich Hotel is known for individually designed rooms inspired by locations including Manhattan, Milano and Mumbai. Privacy is a major focus of the property, with guest-only access to the lounge, spa and pool. The hotel also houses Locanda Verde, the well-known restaurant from chef Andrew Carmellini<\/strong>, which offers private dining for guests.<\/p>\n

Designer David Rockwell<\/strong> built the project around De Niro\u2019s personal aesthetic, which the actor defines as \u201cmasculinity and comfort, executed with meticulous, refined craftsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really good, collaborative project,\u201d Rockwell said, per the hotel\u2019s website<\/a>. \u201cBob (De Niro) wanted the hotel to fit into the fabric of TriBeCa, so we started looking at brick treatments, among other elements. Ira thought that we could make a real design statement with the masonry, and really drove that investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Niro\u2019s hospitality footprint extends beyond TriBeCa: he is also involved in the Nobu Hospitality hotel brand.<\/p>\n

Richard Gere \u2014 Bedford Post Inn<\/h2>\n

Richard Gere<\/strong> co-owns Bedford Post Inn, an eight-room property in Westchester County about an hour from Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The inn which he owns alongside ex-wife Carey Lowell<\/strong> and friend Russell Hernandez<\/strong>, sits on wooded grounds with a peaceful pool and a yoga studio. Gere and Lowell discovered the vacant 1762 stone farmhouse by accident on a horseback ride and decided to take on the restoration project together. Rooms were designed by Lowell and decorator Tiffany Vassilakis<\/strong>, featuring muted interiors, fireplaces and claw-foot tubs that lean into the inn\u2019s farmhouse heritage.<\/p>\n

Clint Eastwood \u2014 Mission Ranch Hotel & Restaurant<\/h2>\n

The Carmel property is known for its rustic cottages, romantic atmosphere and tennis club. It draws visitors who want a quieter Northern California coastal experience and has remained part of Eastwood\u2019s portfolio for nearly 40 years.<\/p>\n
