Why the Internet Is Begging for an Invite to the Lipas’ Vacation
Dua Lipa Kicks Off Birthday Fun with a Yacht Trip in Formentera
The Party Started Early
Pop superstar Dua Lipa didn’t wait for her actual birthday to start celebrating. She jumped right into the fun with a sunny yacht trip off the coast of Formentera, a beautiful island in Spain’s Balearic Islands. She was joined by her younger siblings, Rina and Gjin, for a day of swimming, posing for photos, and soaking up the Mediterranean vibes.
Dua’s Vacation Outfit: Pure Gucci Glamour
Even on a boat, Dua serves serious style. For her day at sea, she wore a head-to-toe Gucci look that was equal parts chic and playful.
Her outfit included:
- A leopard-print bikini top and bottom
- A matching leopard-print crepe skirt (a light, flowy fabric perfect for the breeze)
- Thong sandals for easy on-and-off boat access
- Oversized sunglasses for that mysterious movie-star look
- A cherry-red Chanel shoulder bag for a pop of color
Style Tip: Dua loves mixing bold prints (like leopard) with classic designer accessories. The red Chanel bag breaks up the pattern and draws the eye up!
She Has a "Killer Vacation Wardrobe"
This isn’t a one-time thing. Dua has basically earned a PhD in vacation dressing. Over the last few weeks alone, she’s been spotted looking effortless in:
- String bikinis from the brand With Jean
- Sundresses by Helsa
- A giant nautical-themed Chanel tote bag (big enough for a towel, a book, and snacks!)
- A ruffled white Chloé co-ord (matching top and bottom set) at a friend’s bachelorette party
- A shimmering blue Isabel Marant mini-dress for a night out
Why the Balearic Islands Are Her "Spiritual Home"
Dua keeps coming back to the Balearic Islands (which include Ibiza, Formentera, and Mallorca). Think of them as her happy place. Here is why she loves them:
- Chill Mornings: She can lounge by the pool and read her latest book club pick.
- Amazing Food: The seafood is world-class.
- Epic Nights: She can dance until sunrise at legendary clubs like DC10.
Important Point: For Dua, a perfect vacation balances relaxation (reading, eating) with celebration (dancing, friends). It’s not just a party; it’s a lifestyle.
Flashback: Her Unforgettable 30th Birthday in Ibiza
Last year, Dua pulled out all the stops for her 30th birthday on the nearby island of Ibiza. It was a masterclass in how to celebrate a milestone.
The Birthday Week Highlights:
- Lunch at Jondal: A trendy beach club spot loved by celebrities.
- Dancing at DC10: The iconic superclub where the music doesn’t stop.
- The Main Event Dress: She wore a custom Jacquemus dress made of white sequins with dramatic, deep side cut-outs. It was sparkling, bold, and totally her.
- The Crew: She was surrounded by close friends and her partner, Callum Turner.
Summary
Dua Lipa has officially rung in her birthday season, starting with a stylish yacht day in Formentera with her siblings.

With a history of iconic trips to the Balearics—including a sequined, cut-out Jacquemus dress for her 30th in Ibiza—Dua shows us that the best birthdays are spent with family, great fashion, and a view of the blue Mediterranean sea.
