The Beckhams have cut short their €300,000 Christmas paradise break in the Maldives.
Posh, Becks and the four kids arrived at the luxury holiday resort, hoping to stay for an 11-day break over the festive period.
Instead, they boarded a private plane back to Male airport in the Indian Ocean island group on St Stephens Day before heading to somewhere different.
Why did the Becks crew pack up and leave the luxurious One&Only Reethi Rah resort?
Because it wouldn’t stop raining.
After three days of downpours, David, 37, and Victoria, 38, said enough was enough.
It was a major disappointment for the family who had arrived at the One&Only Reethi Rah resort last Sunday, hoping to stay for 11 days.
A source told the Irish Sun: “It really is unfortunate for them, especially because it’s such a beautiful place.
“But there was hardly anything for them to do except wait for the rain to stop. They arrived too late to leave in time to snatch Christmas Day somewhere sunny so they left on Wednesday.”
The luxury resort was a wash-out for the Christmas week.
The source added: “They were told by staff the rain could pass any day but the forecast for the coming days didn’t look good either. You can only keep four children inside without anything to do for so long, especially over Christmas.”
Becks, who left US soccer side LA Galaxy earlier this month, had booked the most expensive suite at the complex, costing a whopping €10,000 a night.
He also booked three other suites for Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper to enjoy their Christmas break in.
The resort, which has 130 private villas, 12 beaches, 40 pools and a seaplane, also has “swirling vitality pools, crystal steam rooms, saunas and stimulating ice fountains”.
It is estimated the Beckhams’ decision to cut short their holiday would have left a hole in their wallets as the hotel is not obliged to refund money because of bad weather.
Where are the Beckhams now? The celebrity hunt is on…
We’re guessing they could have set up camp for the New Year in Dubai or Oman as the sun was guaranteed there for the festive period. Thailand, only three hours to the east from where they were, would also be a good bet.
