Beyoncé Celebrates Birthday on Private Island with Friends and Family

Beyoncé is still in the middle of her hugely successful “Renaissance” tour, but that didn’t stop her from taking a little break to get some serious privacy to celebrate her birthday.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the singer rented out a spot called Mermaid Bay — a string of 11 villas located within The Brando, a private island resort for the ultra-rich in French Polynesia.

Our sources say Beyoncé and crew arrived at the property September 5, and stayed at least through Friday the 8th … with adults and kids all in tow.

As for her accommodations, we’re told Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed in the Bay’s main residence — a 4-bedroom villa that goes for around $20K per night — and the rest of their group stayed among the 10 other villas … which have 1, 2 and 3 bedroom options.

Of course, Beyoncé’s actual birthday was September 4, and she celebrated it with Diana Ross and about 70,000 fans — so the private island retreat looks like the perfect destination to unwind before taking on her 42nd year.
