After a long season of goals, trophies, and post-match interviews, even football’s biggest names need a break. So, where do global icons like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Mohamed Salah go to relax and recharge?

A new study has revealed the answers—and there’s one clear winner.

According to research by Boat Charter, Dubai has become the top holiday spot for footballers. With over 2,300 five-star resorts, warm waters, and endless luxury, the Gulf city is a true footballer’s paradise.

From rooftop views to yacht life, it’s got more flair than a Bruno Fernandes penalty.

The report analyzed factors like weather, sea temperature, and local attractions to rank the favorite destinations.

Dubai edged past popular cities like Barcelona and Mykonos — both also popular with players like Bruno Fernandes and Mo Salah.

Most famous holiday destinations among star footballers

Lionel Messi, true to his love for sun and sea, is a regular visitor to Ibiza. He’s not alone — Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland have been seen partying or relaxing there too.

The Balearic island offers both peace and nightlife, a rare combo that even the busiest playmakers appreciate.

Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, often chooses Marbella in Spain. The Al-Nassr forward has spent several off-seasons there, making the most of the region’s private villas and sunny coastline.

And if you thought Salah was just about goals and sprints, think again — he’s been spotted holidaying in Mykonos, joining the likes of Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli.

And for those craving a slice of America, New York remains a go-to. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe had once taken time off there, catching NBA games and soaking in the city’s endless energy.
