How to Vacation Like Your Favorite Reality TV Casts

If there’s a time when we wish we could trade lives with reality stars, it’s when they travel and go on vacation.

That’s why we’ve put together a guide to help you book your next trip based on your favorite reality TV show.

We know what you’re thinking—this has to be too good to be true. Reality stars don’t live on an average budget after all. But Peta Phipps, publisher of Caribbean Living and Swanky Retreats, believes it is absolutely possible for viewers to live out their favorite reality TV vacations.

“Avid viewers know the experiences inside and out and guided activities are available to almost anyone willing to get out there and go for it,” Phipps shared with E! News.

In fact, these resorts will welcome you with open arms! “Destinations and hotels benefit from these shows being filmed on site because the trips are aspirational and reach millions of viewers,” the travel expert added.

So with a little planning—and a lot of saving—you can have the vacation you’ve always dreamed of.

Whether you want to be heading off to paradise or straight to the casino, this list of TV destinations will take you on vacations you will never forget.
