Oscar winner Denzel Washington took a break from promoting his latest film The Manchurian Candidate to relax in style at one of this summer's hottest celebrity locations – the island of Sardinia.

The Hollywood actor was joined by a familiar face during his boat cruise around Porto Cervo - Formula One boss Flavio Briatore. Famed for hosting his supermodel girlfriends, including Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum, on his yacht during previous Sardinia holidays, playboy Flavio owns the nearby Billionaire Club, an exclusive hideaway open only to the crème de la crème of the jet set.

And there is no shortage of VIPs flocking to Sardinia, as demonstrated by the roster of big names who've visited the Mediterranean paradise just this year.

Footballer David Beckham and the England squad held their Euro 2004 training on the Mediterranean island, while rap mogul P Diddy sailed in for his vacation on a £15-million yacht. The elite hotspot has also seen its share of romance, with Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster spotted on a romantic holiday, and Christian Slater seen smoothing out his rocky relationship with wife Ryan Haddon with some passionate kisses.
