Vacations

Serena Williams might have lost her last time on the court ... but here's more proof she's winning in life ... the RIDICULOUS crib she's calling home while on vacay in Jamaica.

The 10,000 sq ft spot is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and rents for an insane $20k per week ... but with 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms it sleeps 14 freakin' people ... so you can go halfsies.

It ain't just space she's buying though ... according to the listing site FlipKey.com ... the home gives you access to a pool, hot tub, and get this ... your own private boat to cruise the high sea.

Serena's been Snapchatting like crazy from inside the place ... including the now instant classic vid of her reppin' the USA to the fullest ... in an ASSTACULAR star-spangled one piece swimsuit.

Of course, we included that below ... so you can see the home in the flesh. All its beautiful perfect flesh.

'Vampire Diaries' star Nina Dobrev does not fear the sun.

Dobrev, who left CW's hit show last year after six seasons ... soaked up the surf and sand over the weekend with her pals in Maui.

Nina's found new and exciting ways to entertain us.

Gwyneth Paltrow and her BF, TV producer Brad Falchuk enjoyed a quiet Mexican vacation in a teeny tiny beachfront villa ... BUILT FOR 12!

Okay, they've got Gwyneth's kids too, but they ain't that big. The 4-some rented the $20 million, 6-bedroom pad from Airbnb ... and likely chose it for its secluded vibe near the St. Regis Punta Mita. It ain't cheap ... $8k a night!

It's a stone's throw from another celeb magnet down in Mexico -- Joe Francis' baller pad.

Perks of Gwyneth's place include a private chef, yoga room, gym, and not just one, but 2 connecting infinity pools. So, yeah, not a bad place to watch sunsets.

Mariah Carey went solo in Aspen Monday when she walked the streets in her signature red and black XMAS outfit with no one by her side.

Mariah and Nick Cannon were a staple in the ritzy mountain community, always wearing matching getups during the season.

It appears Mariah's new man, James Packer -- who is with her in Aspen -- isn't a fan of matchy matchy.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is basically wearing your mortgage on his back while he roams around Europe, settling into life as a retiree.

We found out Floyd picked up this little number in Milan on Friday during a 400,000 euros shopping spree, because he obviously thinks it looks good ... but mostly because he can. We're told the coat ran him about 10,000 euro.

Floyd's easing into retirement like a college grad -- tramping around the Continent -- except if he stops at a youth hostel ... he's probably buying it.

Before Italy ... he hit up Russia, Turkey, and France. Thursday he was strolling around Monaco like a sharp-dressed man without a care in the world ... and several hundred million in the bank.

Passengers on the Mad Decent Boat Party had their trip altered when a woman jumped overboard last week -- and now many of them say the cruise company's ripping them off.

Most of the EDM lovers paid on average $1,000 for a ticket, but Norwegian Cruise Line and festival organizers promised refunds. Due to the tragedy, several DJ sets were nixed ... as well as the offshore excursion planned for Mexico. Only problem is ... that refund was a measly $57.47 according to several pissed off passengers.

Festival and cruise reps tells us it's simple math: $57.47 is the cost of the cancelled excursion plus port taxes. Everything else is nonrefundable. Some angry guests have taken to social media to demand way more dough ... despite the fact they still got a 4 day vacation at sea.

Kim Zolciak looked like the picture of health splashing in the Mexican surf, less than two months after a stroke and heart condition derailed her "Dancing with the Stars" gig.

Kim jumped waves with daughter Brielle and NFL hubby Kroy Biermann (who's got a week off). The whole fam flew to Cancun to celebrate her and Kroy's 4th wedding anniversary ... and quick road to recovery, which includes a bangin' bikini body.

And Brielle's clearly following in mom's footsteps in that department.

Here's what Cindy Crawford really looks like untouched ... in a bikini.

Crawford hit the waves Monday with husband Rande Gerber in Miami, putting body shaming Internet trolls in their place with her itsy bitsy white snakeskin bikini and flat torso.

It's sweet justice for the mother of two who became the victim of an unflattering Photoshop prank.

Gerber seems to be keeping up with his wife, for the most part.

She turns 50 in February. Life truly is unfair.

"Bad Girls Club" alum Judi Jai is stranded in Jamaica after being kicked off a cruise for fist fighting.

Judi tells us she was on a weeklong trip with her close friend AC Style. The two got into an argument Tuesday night on the deck of the ship ... security broke it up and sent the girls to their room.

But it didn't end. Once in the cabin, the fight continued and Judi got physical, striking AC in the face. AC reported Judi to the ship's brass and the 'BGC' star was kicked off and stranded in Jamaica.

Judi tells us she NEVER hit AC. As for the trip, she booked a room in Montego Bay for the next two nights to salvage the rest of her vacation ... solo.

We reached out the cruise company for comment. So far ... no word back.

Kourtney Kardashian ignored the issue of tanlines and donned a strappy bikini as she relaxed Thursday on the beach in St. Barts.

Meanwhile in Mexico, Scott Disick hung out with Joe Francis and Darren Dzienciol, who co-owns 1 OAK.

Being single seems to agree with both of them.

Anne Hathaway took a spraying of water to the face courtesy of hubby, Adam Shulman, as the two enjoyed a day in the water in Ibiza.

So do you think he's doing it to be nice, or is it more of a "Billy Madison" situation?

Oprah is the billionaire queen of media, but she's still no match for royalty when it comes to sailing the Mediterranean.

The Big O and gal pal Gayle King were spotted off the coast of Ibiza on The Rising Sun, billionaire David Geffen’s $200 million superyacht. They've vacationed on it before ... and looking at Rising Sun's stats it's not hard to see why Oprah's back aboard. It's loaded with a basketball court, helipad, wine cellar, 45-person crew, movie theater, swimming pool, and a submarine meant for emergency exit ... if it ever goes down like the Titanic.

But O's boat is dinghy-like compared to the $350 million yacht Eclipse, which was cruising with Princess Beatrice of York and her BF.

The Eclipse, owned by Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich, comes fully loaded with a cinema, two helipads, three subs, 20 jet skis, a 70-person crew, two pools (one of which turns into a dance floor) and a missile detection system ... no joke.

Oprah didn't seem to have any boat envy because she invited the princess aboard.

Still good to know people in high places ... even if you’re Oprah.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are keeping their wedding party going -- by bringing their friends along for a fabulous honeymoon!

The newlyweds arrived in Bora Bora with several of their closest friends -- including Jason Bateman and wife, Amanda Anka ... and Aniston's BFF Courteney Cox.

And the party's not just for adults, since Courteney and the Batemans brought their kids too!

LeBron James is not sticking to the rivers and lakes that he's used to -- instead he took the whole damn fam on vacation to Hawaii, and had a run-in with a waterfall that had him grinning from ear-to-ear.

Paris Hilton made a triumphant -- and soaking wet -- return to her summer home ... reminding us why they keep paying through the nose to bring her back to Ibiza.

Hilton was the main attraction Saturday night at Amnesia's Foam & Diamonds party, where she'll be DJing every Saturday night for the next few months. We're told the club owner said last weekend's opening party was the biggest money maker, so far this summer.

Paris' millionaire BF, Thomas Gross was there, and bought out the entire VIP balcony for himself and friends. Not to be outdone, we're told someone from Dubai came in and dropped $100k on endless bottles of Cristal.

The party went on til 7:30 AM and was capped off when Paris doused the crowd with foam from above. But the most fun part for Paris had to be the paycheck. We hear she's getting $300k per gig!

Saturday nights are way more than alright for P.

Nothing says "friendship" like 3 guys on a banana boat ... with Dwyane Wade's wife.
