Oscar- winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Camila Morrone hit the shores of the South of France visiting St.Tropez followed by the beaches of Capri and Positano in Italy this month.

Two friends who have been spotted more than once on holiday together are basketball star Magic Johnson and actor Samuel L. Jackson. The duo and their partners plus friends were on vacation on the 241ft superyacht Siren travelling to St Tropez and Corsica in France and Capri and Portofino in Italy, where Jackson hoped to do ‘nothing’ according to his instagram photos (he avoided the gym in the luxury yacht they were staying on). There was still some sport on the menu however with golf in Golfe de Saint-Tropez before they travelled to Italy. The two families and friends then went ashore to Forte Di Marmi for gelato and shopping, visiting Pucci and Louis Vuitton. The group also visited Ristorante Puny in Portofino, which Magic said on Twitter was one of his ‘favorite restaurants’.
