Choosing to live near her family home in Berkshire would suggest Pippa Middleton is somewhat of a homebody. However, that doesn't stop her from enjoying luxurious getaways to far-flung corners of the world, including her private getaway spot that she enjoys with her famous sister-in-law.
The parents of Pippa's husband James Matthews own the incredible Eden Rock resort on the beautiful Caribbean island of St Barths.
Here, the younger sister of the Princess of Wales has enjoyed time away from public view with Vogue Williams, model, host of My Therapist Ghosted Me, and wife of James' brother, former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.

"The Caribbean island drenched in sunshine is trendy, luxurious and discreet, meaning major celebrity names can flock there safe in the knowledge that they'll be shielded from prying eyes," says HELLO!'s Digital Travel Editor, Francesca Shillcock.

"In recent years, the gorgeous island has become synonymous with Eden Rock, the luxe hotel owned by the Matthews family. The Princess of Wales' sister, Pippa, and her husband James have, naturally, spent their vacations at the property that offers a five-star stay, but also a significant familial tie that makes it extra special."

And thanks to the island and the resort ensuring high levels of privacy, it's the ideal spot for them to holiday and bond as a family unit without the presence of photographers or onlookers.
"While Vogue and Spencer have more of an online presence, in-laws Pippa and James are far more private, so naturally opt to head to the safety of their home-away-from-home that Eden Rock provides them."
Eden Rock's amenities
Situated on a cliff overlooking the Baie de Saint Jean, Eden Rock's amenities also add to its enduring appeal. The hotel site, which contains 32 rooms and suites and 2 villas, offers a private beach with complimentary water sports, as well as the Eden Spa, a gym, and a boutique.
