Callum Turner Spent Honeymoon Reading Martyr!, A Heartbreaking Novel, While Dua Lipa Walked Around In A Skimpy Bikini, Showing Off Her Almost Perfect Abs
During their honeymoon, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner were spotted at two of Italy’s most exclusive beach hideaways: Hotel Il Pellicano, a popular clifftop retreat in Porto Ercole, and Villa Treville, a 15-suite hideaway in Positano. Both are secretive, paparazzi-unfriendly, and designed for the very rich and famous.
It was at Il Pellicano that the latest paparazzi photos appeared. The beach club of this area is not a sandy beach but a series of stone terraces and platforms built in the desert, with direct access to the water. The couple spent the day there, swimming in the waters near Monte Argentario, and trading kisses on the rocks. Even their downtime looked very productive: Dua was photographed flipping through what looked like work notes, while Callum settled in with a copy of Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar, a 2024 National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestseller. She wore a printed string bikini with gold hoops and a high ponytail.
Il Pellicano sits on a rocky outcrop on the Monte Argentario peninsula in Tuscany, just above the coastal town of Porto Ercole. It has been one of the most famous photographic landmarks of the Porto Ercole jet set since the 1960s, when Slim Aarons photographed his white umbrellas and a pool of sea water and made it short in the beautiful Mediterranean summer. Guests walk or walk into town for dinner and the marina, but the hotel itself is the destination.
The same discipline that kept him stage-ready in heels was displayed on the rocks. His chiseled body and abs are the product of intense workouts. In September 2025, Dua joined Frame Fitness as founder and chief creative officer, working with co-founder Melissa Bentivoglio, a former ballerina and Pilates instructor. He trains almost every day with a Frame Reformer (he was the first person in Europe to get one) and on the mat, emphasizing the important work of stabilizing his spine to do heels. “The thing that keeps me strong and keeps me strong is getting on the mat every day,” she said. “I’m a big advocate of getting up and getting on the mat at least once a day.”
Before the Pilates era, he trained 3 to 4 times a week with celebrity trainer Peter MacIver, known as PMAC: 20 minutes of hill sprints followed by 40 minutes of full-body strength work with bands, balls, and bodyweight circuits. He also credited boxing for getting him into the best shape of his life. Deuxmoi’s post fans are easy to read. “The real 8 pack is crazy,” wrote another. “I’m so happy for them and their abs,” said another.
The honeymoon has since ended. The couple capped off a trip to Rome on June 19, posing for photos leaving a luxury hotel and loading designer luggage into a black Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet worth around $264,000, valets came in after they couldn’t get all the bags into the trunk. Callum drove, Dua riding shotgun in a pale green scarf, knit vest, and low rise jeans, with a Y2K phone case featuring a 2006 paparazzi shot of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan tucked in her back pocket.
