Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez began the new year in St. Barts after spending Christmas in Aspen, Colorado. The couple was seen at Nikki Beach, a popular celebrity destination, where Sánchez wore a large sun hat while Bezos relaxed with friends alongside his security team. An eyewitness noted the heavy security presence.
During their visit, bottle service staff—including one arriving on a motorcycle—emerged with sparklers to celebrate a birthday, prompting Sánchez to dance on a banquette. The pair frequently visits the Caribbean island during this season, often aboard their $500 million yacht, Koru, which features a wooden carving of Sánchez at its bow. Last year, the yacht underwent a routine customs inspection during their stay.
Before arriving in St. Barts, the couple was spotted in Aspen shopping at luxury hat store Kemo Sabe with DJ Diplo. They also attended an après-ski event where Diplo performed, which drew Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Photos showed them holding hands while strolling through the ski town.
Both Aspen and St. Barts trips have become annual traditions for Bezos and Sánchez, who married in Venice earlier this year.
