Dua Lipa has shared her favorite travel spots across Asia, offering a genuine look at where the singer-songwriter actually eats, drinks, shops and unwinds when she’s in the region. The picks span Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, with Tokyo drawing the heaviest concentration of recommendations, from a no-menu izakaya to the bar where she says she always ends up on her last night in the city.
Together, these recommendations paint a picture of a traveler drawn to unpretentious, deeply local spots instead of the usual celebrity-approved hotspots. A decades-old Bangkok street food stall sits alongside independent bookshops in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, while a legendary Tokyo club and a handful of standout restaurants round out the list.
