Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart - School kids aren't the only ones who deserve a summer vacation. Celebs who work hard, deserve to play hard, too, and they usually do it in style. Jennifer Lopez, who works awful hard on that bikini body, showed it off last year in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, where she played in the sand with her boyfriend Casper Smart and adorable twins Max and Emme. But her poor bodyguard, who the family buried in the sand, was still on duty.(Photo: Honopix, PacificCoastNews.com)

Beyoncé and Jay-Z - After a hectic start to 2012 — Bey wasted no time to start training for her comeback after giving birth to Blue Ivy in January 2012 — the new parents took some much-needed R&R in St. Bart's last April. Among their vacation essentials? Cocktails in coconut shells, a fancy DSLR camera and an iPod boombox. (Photo: Maxppp /Landov)

The Kardashians - The line between work and play is often blurred in the Kardashian family, and their Dominican Republic vacation last year sas no exception. Cameras for their reality show followed the bikini-clad clan to their $6,000 a night villa at the Casa de Campo resort — this was before Kim Kardashian was pregnant. Hopefully producers at least picked up the tab for the drinks! (Photo: Larry Busacca/E/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images for E!)

Mariah Carey - After spending the early summer traipsing around Europe with her twins (Rome, Cannes, Morocco...oh my!), Mimi decided there's no place like home and dropped $150,000/month for a palatial manse in the Hamptons, just a short drive from her New York City headquarters. Now that's what we call a staycation! (Photo: Youssef Boudlal/ REUTERS/)
