This is where you're most likely to spot Lindsay Lohan during her honeymoon in Mykonos—and where you won't
The 'Mean Girls' star has a special relationship with the Greek party island
The news hit the global gossip machine like Lizzo plunging into the deep end of the Beverly Hills Hotel’s swimming pool: Lindsay Lohan’s finally getting hitched, and that means a new wrinkle in the gifted/troubled actress’s relationship with the Greek island of Mykonos.
Lohan revealed that she’s gotten engaged to Dubai-based finance guy Bader Shammas, and you know that once a relationship goes Instagram-official it’s definitely going to last! Of course, the real star of the Insta post is a square, in the form of the diamond engagement ring with an estimated $250,000 value. But before the high-falutin’ if aesthetically anodyne bling, there was Mykonos.
The Internet won’t let you forget that in 2016 a beach in Mykonos was the site of an infamous altercation between Lohan and a former fiancé, Russian Egor Tarabasov—a nasty squabble caught on camera and one that made a huge impact on Lohan’s reliably dramatic life. Determined to expunge the memory of that episode, Lohan would three years later make that very same beach, Kalo Livadi, the locus of her short-lived MTV reality show, Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club.
Kalo Livadi beach seems to be a magnet for drama. Last summer the Mayor of Mykonos was even arrested there, though good luck trying to find out why. Turns out that the beach, which is an adequate sliver of Myconian sand but really nothing to write home about, is in development/overdevelopment overdrive, with numerous resorts vying for their place in the sun there and lo and behold, one of the biggest is going to be built by Aman Resorts, which is owned by Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin. No doubt it’ll be a beauty, but Kalo Livadi in our view comes with too much baggage for LiLo to even consider a post-nuptial lune de miel sojourn there.
So where will she honeymoon? It’s possible she’ll avoid Europe altogether, though this is doubtful. Her adopted Dubai is no place for romance, and post-Trump or no, Lohan has soured on America—if the media there made her, it also made her life something of a living hell for a long spell so who can blame her?
The fact is that when the good people of Dubai (among which, Lohan) and other Gulf dictatorships look for fun, and with Tel Aviv and Beirut being out of the equation, all super yachts and private jets pivot toward the Mediterranean party islands and the last time we checked, Mykonos comes before Sardinia which comes before Ibiza and so, you know.
The two most likely candidates for the Lohan-Shammas honeymoon are The Wild by Interni, because it’s got a truly private beach impervious to the paparazzi, and Kalesma Mykonos, because it’s away from the fray on the island’s western fringe and also away from beach—making it another luxe bolthole safe from prying eyes.
