Barbiecore By The Pool
Villa Fugata Flamingo – Costa Rica
For some hot pink privacy, head to Villa Fugata Flamingo. The clue appears to be in the name, but this villa is actually named for the beach it perches over: Playa Flamingo in Costa Rica. It’s very much Barbie Dreamhouse: an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, private decks from which to absorb breathtaking sunsets, and hot pink decor throughout.
BOOK: Sleeps up to four people, from £319 per night. vrbo.com
Barbie In Paris?
Hôtel Le Milie Rose – Paris, France
Romanticise your life twofold: this Barbiecore hotel is just steps away from the Louvre in the renowned city of love, Paris. With more muted pink than hot pink (rose pink, if you will), Hôtel Le Milie Rose is calming but undeniably cute, with pink pillows for sweet dreams, and a pink breakfast room to wander into once you awake.

The Pink Beach House – Cayman Islands
If Malibu Barbie is your favourite rendition of the blonde bombshell, head to the Cayman Islands, where The Pink Beach House sits on the waterfront, with access to its own private beach.
