Celebrity travellers: Tamara Ecclestone

MODEL, socialite, TV personality and F1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone, 33, married stockbroker Jay Rutland in 2013.

Together, they have a three-year-old daughter, Sophia, and the trio live in London’s prestigious Kensington Palace Gardens. 

MOST MEMORABLE HOLIDAY? 

A trip to The Bahamas with Sophia and Jay. Sophia [known as Fifi] was 18 months old and loved swimming with me in the sea. 

We spent a lot of time at the Aquaventure water park too – my daughter is a water baby and this went a long way to solidifying her mermaid status.

The Bahamas is stunning. It has the most beautiful turquoise, clear water and the white sandy beaches totally blew me away. 

We had our hair in braids for a week after getting them done on the beach, I didn’t wear any make-up and there was no fuss – it was so chilled.

AND YOUR WORST? 

Thankfully I’ve never had a really disastrous holiday but on the way to Miami once my suitcases were lost on a flight. 

They eventually arrived two days later but were half empty – somebody had stolen most of my clothes and shoes. 

BEST SOUVENIR? 

I like to collect mementos from each holiday. For me they’re amazing memories and I keep them in a little box for Fifi. 

My last ones include some sand from the Maldives and a tacky mini Eiffel Tower from Paris. It’s lovely to see all the places we’ve been.

BEST BOOK? 

I never get a chance to read a book nowadays as I am permanently running around after Fifi – she doesn’t stop. 

In my old life, when I used to read on holiday, my guilty pleasure was the Fifty Shades Of Grey trilogy by EL James. 

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR TIME ON HOLIDAY? 

I’m always in the water. Fifi loves to swim and her ability is so good for her age. 

I’m so proud of her when she takes to the water – fearless doesn’t cover it. 

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO REVISIT? 

I’m a big fan of India. I last went when I was a teenager and we had such an incredible time.

It’s such a rich, vibrant land and you never know quite what’s going to happen when you leave the hotel. 

That element of surprise is always thrilling. We stayed at the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur and also visited Jaipur and Mumbai.

One minute you’re near the slums and the next you’re in a beautiful resort but the impressive thing with India is the positivity and the smiles on people’s faces no matter what their situation.

Going there for a short trip really wasn’t enough – you could spend months there and still discover something new. 

Seeing the Taj Mahal in Agra was an amazing experience.
