Gwyneth Paltrow packed a few bikinis and some sun dresses and said goodbye to Los Angeles over the weekend, jetting to Mexico for a vacation with her boyfriend Brad Falchuk and her kids, Apple, 11, and nine-year-old Moses. The couple was spotted soaking up the rays on the beaches of Punta Minta in front of their spectacular US$30-million Airbnb villa.

The Hollywood A-lister was seen enjoying a spot of sunbathing and a swim with her boyfriend, Glee creator Brad, before returning to their stunning beachside residence, which is located 30 km from Puerto Vallarta.

The villa, which rents for US$40,000 a week, features six bedrooms, two outdoor infinity pools, a home theatre and farm-to-table meals prepared by the estate chef. The home is structured around a grand dining room and living palapa, where guests can enjoy oceanfront seating and dine at a table that seats 12.

One of the main selling points of the residence is its location. No need for transportation to the beach, as all you have to do is open the large bedroom doors and walk out onto the white sand. Gwyneth and Brad, who went public with their relationship in September, stayed in the villa's master suite, which features a king-size bed that leads out to a swimming pool with incredible ocean views.

Despite being on vacation, Gwyneth has shared her detox diet for the new year through her lifestyle site, Goop. The 43-year-old Iron Man star will cut out gluten, dairy, red meat, soy, caffeine, shellfish, alcohol, white rice and added sugar.

Punta Minta, has become a favourite hot spot for many Hollywood celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Demi Moore, Orlando Bloom and Vince Vaughn.
