Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos rumoured to be setting sail for ‘the White Lotus Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in Sicily’ after their £40m three-day wedding celebrations in Venice But What’s that on Lauren’s Left Hand

Following their glamorous multi-day, multi-million dollar wedding celebrations in Venice, newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are now heading on their equally lavish honeymoon.
Sources suggest the billionaire couple will enjoy a luxurious trip as they take their first holiday as husband and wife.
Though the details have not yet been confirmed, it is believed they will have stayed in the area of Torcello to enjoy lunch, before heading to Nicelli airport.
There, the luxury travel will continue, with the pair said to be journeyed in a helicopter back to Bezos’ $500 million superyacht, ‘Koru,’ the crown jewel of sailing yachts.
The plan is for the impressive vessel to move on to Taormina in Sicily, according to The Daily Mail’s Chief Showbusiness Writer Alison Boshoff. Bezos fell in love with the town last year when the couple sailed along Sicily’s coast and the Aeolian Islands.
The belief is that he and Lauren will anchor in Taormina and spend time at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace – famous for being the host hotel for The White Lotus, season two.
The hotel, where a suite can cost upwards of €7,000 a night, is in the Sicilian hilltop town, beside the Ionian Sea and below an active volcano called Mount Etna. It is located near vineyards, an ancient Greek theatre, and medieval villages.
Earlier, the beaming newlyweds were snapped waving goodbye as they left the Aman Venice hotel by boat on Sunday after their three-day wedding extravaganza.
Lauren stunned in a loose-fitting sleeveless white dress with an elegant drape as the Italian sun shined down on her. She completed the look with a wide-brimmed black hat and oversized black shades.
Meanwhile, her husband kept it casual after a weekend of formal looks, opting for a navy t-shirt to keep cool in the summer heat.
If the couple are heading to the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, it is a luxury Italian hotel which has its own rich history – which includes an impressive rota of famous guests including Oscar Wilde.
The hotel was bequeathed to the San Dominican religious order by Baron Damiano Rosso d’Altavilla, a benefactor of the order, who had turned to the monastic life himself. The order received the building in 1430, five years after the Baron’s death.
After the convent was established in the building, retaining a small community which never exceeded 40, over the coming centuries.
Then, some 400 years later in 1866, a law was passed by the Italian state in an effort to suppress religious orders and confiscate their assets.
State representatives came to confiscate the building, and despite there being only one monk there, Vincenzo Bottari Cacciola, they had to use force to take the keys as he was not willing to hand it over.
Vincenzo went on to unearth an ancient document that had been kept in secret by the brothers – Damiano Rosso’s will.
As the will stated that the building had only been lent to the Dominicans, this meant it could not be requisitioned by the state, so the monk approached a descendant of Damiano Rosso, Prince Cerami, who reacquired ownership rights to the convent.
It was Prince Cerami’s vision to transform the convent into a hotel, and his addition of a large wing in the Liberty architectural style, ensured the building’s status as one of Europe’s first grand hotels.
With Taormina becoming a fashionable location for European tourists at the time, with the town known for its wild parties and a liberal sexual atmosphere, the hotel became a renowned global destination.
High profile guests visited through the early 1900s, including King Edward VII the second, Baron Rothschild, Oscar Wilde and DH Lawrence.
The hotel’s fortunes took a turn in 1943, when it was bombed by the Allies while being used as a headquarters by the German army.
It was several years until the hotel was reopened, in 1926, after the convent, which was almost totally destroyed during the war.
Upon its reopening, it hosted many lavish parties. By the 1950s, many of the most famous stage and screen visited the location, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren.
More recently, the hotel hosted political leaders for a G7 summit meeting in 2017 – but most people now associate it with the White Lotus franchise.
Described as the ‘wedding of a century,’ the 61-year-old Amazon founder and the former journalist, 55, exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy, on Friday.
The nuptials began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice, followed by the intimate ceremony on Friday and then a star-studded rave.
Around 200 of the world’s wealthiest people were gathering for a final night’s fun, and many of the VIP guests were spotted bidding goodbye to the Italian city the following morning.
The party appeared to have a pyjamas and masked ball theme, with music from Usher and popular US DJ Cassidy.
Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio led the star-studded departures from Venice on Sunday morning, following the final party on Saturday night of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s three-day wedding extravaganza.
Kylie commanded attention as she made her departure, sporting a leopard print top and matching tight-fitted jeans as she climbed into a waiting water taxi.
The makeup mogul looked ever the doting mother as she walked hand-in-hand with her seven-year-old daughter Stormi, who she brought along on the lavish trip.
