The 1970s can be called an era of iconic achievements in fashion, music, and film: celebrities led glamorous lifestyles, and their travels were no less legendary. They sought privacy and top-tier service in many luxurious corners of the world.

Today, many of these places remain just as stunning, offering modern travelers the chance to experience that same timeless charm. Let’s take a small journey through these iconic destinations!

Saint-Tropez, France

No place embodies the glamour of the ’70s quite like Saint-Tropez. This sunny town on the French Riviera became a beloved summer getaway for Brigitte Bardot. Her role in the film And God Created Woman not only made Saint-Tropez a popular resort, but also cemented Bardot’s status as a sex symbol.

Today, Saint-Tropez is a luxurious, world-famous resort, though this fame has forever stripped it of the Provençal solitude once adored by Alain Delon, Brigitte Bardot, Yves Montand, and others. “There are more yachts here than taxis,” locals joke. The resort town has become a place where you can easily spend thousands of euros and spot celebrities.

Acapulco, Mexico

Acapulco, the Mexican city on the Pacific coast, attracted stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, and more. Golden beaches, cliffside villas, and a vibrant nightlife made it the prime destination for Hollywood’s elite.

While the glittering days of Acapulco may have faded, its beauty never has. The lively discos of this Mexican port city are still packed every night, and hotels tower along miles of sandy beaches.

Capri, Italy

Capri was a favorite retreat for icons like Sophia Loren, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Grace Kelly. Its narrow streets, hidden coves, rocky cliffs, and atmospheric restaurants made it a must-visit for the world’s celebrities.

Modern tourists can still enjoy the charm of Capri by staying in luxurious hotels, dining at the famous Da Paolino, where lemon trees bend over the tables, and swimming in crystal-clear waters surrounded by cliffs. Capri's most famous attraction is the Blue Grotto — a cave on the northern shore where the water is illuminated in a way that makes it appear as blue as a sapphire. You can only enter by joining a group on a small boat.

Marrakech, Morocco

Marrakech, one of Morocco’s ancient capitals, is located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. In the ’70s, it became a favorite destination for celebrities seeking exoticism, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Talitha Getty, and members of The Rolling Stones. Vibrant markets, magnificent palaces, and the mystical desert atmosphere captured their imaginations. Yves Saint Laurent’s connection to Marrakech was so strong that he bought a home there — the famed Villa Oasis — and later restored the iconic Jardin Majorelle, a garden created by artist Jacques Majorelle, which today is a must-see attraction.

Modern Marrakech remains an oasis of luxury. The most colorful hotels are located in riads — traditional Maghrebian houses. These can range from luxurious palaces to refined boutique hotels. Among the five-star options, you’ll find stunning hotels in traditional styles, such as Royal Mansour, El Fenn, or La Mamounia. International chains like Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech, Four Seasons Marrakech, and Nobu Hotel Marrakech also add to the city’s opulence.

Hawaiian Islands

The Hawaiian Islands, especially Maui and Kauai, were another favorite getaway for 1970s stars. Elvis Presley made Hawaii famous through his films, as he adored Hawaiian music. Barbra Streisand and Steve McQueen often came here to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and natural beauty.

Even today, Hawaii attracts those seeking an exclusive tropical retreat. Whichever island you choose, you’ll find excellent beaches — secluded or popular, hard-to-reach or directly accessible from hotels. Oahu leads in the number of beaches, with Waikiki being the most famous. Not far behind is Hanauma Bay, where people come for snorkeling thanks to the nearby coral reefs.

Nepal

In the 1950s-1970s, Nepal became a true Mecca for those seeking spirituality and solitude. This stunning destination attracted not only adventurers but also global celebrities.

The legendary British band The Beatles were known for their quest for spiritual enlightenment, and George Harrison's love of Eastern philosophy brought them to Nepal. Richard Gere also had an interest in Eastern spiritual practices. The actor admired Buddhist culture and naturally visited Nepal.

Today, this high-altitude country continues to attract tourists from all over the world. Hidden within its valleys are ancient cities and some of the most significant sacred sites in Asia!

These iconic destinations, beloved by celebrities of the 1970s, continue to offer modern travelers the perfect blend of glamour, stunning natural beauty, and unrivaled luxury.
