Dua Lipa and Callum Turner kick back on the balcony of their £6,000-a-night hotel in Sicily as they enjoy a moment of peace before £1million wedding weekend gets underway

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are counting down the hours until their £1million Sicily wedding weekend kicks off.

On Thursday morning, the couple, who got legally married in London on Sunday, spent some time together at the Villa Igiea Hotel on the outskirts of Palermo.

The couple, whose celebrations will begin later on Thursday, had a pleasant time on the balcony of the five-star hotel worth £ 6,000 per night, which will host some guests over the weekend.

Reportedly wearing a custom Versace dress on her big day, 30-year-old Dua wore a pale blue shirt, a striped sarong and bikini bottoms.

Wearing a backward-facing hat over his dark tresses, Callum, 36, was seen embracing the Sicilian sun in a brown shirt and shorts as he took in stunning views of the Mediterranean from their Donna Franca suite.

The couple’s private jet touched down in Sicily just before 10.30pm local time on Wednesday night after a two-hour and twenty-minute flight from Luton.

Their guests are also scheduled to arrive for the three-day extravaganza in the coming hours and no expense has been spared, with the couple said to have booked an entire floor suite at the hotel overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

On Thursday morning, the couple, who got legally married in London on Sunday, spent some time together at the Villa Igiea Hotel in Palermo.

The hotel is on the outskirts of Palermo and is the centerpiece of the Coupe’s three-day wedding celebrations, which kick off on Thursday, with the couple’s suite being described as a ‘noise gem’.

This suite offers ample privacy in a fresh, contemporary setting adorned with local artwork, a separate living room and the added luxury of an airy sea-view terrace with loungers and sun loungers, perfect for pleasant mornings and relaxing afternoons.

‘Enjoy your super king size bed that can be combined as desired. ‘Soak up the charm of your spacious marble bathroom with a separate bathtub, walk-in shower and exquisite Irene Forte Skincare toiletries.’

Three hundred family and friends will attend the three-day party, with private jet slots booked at Palermo airport and a fleet of blacked-out limousines to transport guests to various villas and hotels.

Private security firms also do extensive business with hired guard teams, and all personnel attending the wedding are required to sign confidentiality agreements.

The couple paid €10,000 to close Palermo’s Galleria Moderna, where they were to host a cocktail reception for guests on Friday afternoon.

The venue, which will be closed to the public in the afternoon, will reopen to visitors after the barricades are removed on Saturday morning.

A further €10,000 was paid to the local council in Bagheria; Another reception will be held at Villa Valguanera on Saturday, where Elton John is rumored to play a set.

Callum was seen embracing the Sicilian sun in a brown shirt and shorts.

More than 50 guards from Rome and London were deployed to secure the event, and the streets around Villa Valguanera were also closed due to inconvenience to local businesses.

The café opposite said: ‘I’m glad they’re getting married, but it means loss of daily work for us. There’s no point in opening up because no one can reach us.’

As part of strict security measures, trash bins have been removed and temporary drone no-fly zones have been established around Galleria Moderna and Villa Valguanera.

The Italian-Scottish native, who lives next door to Villa Valguanera, told the Daily Mail: ‘I left my house to do some shopping and walked a short way past the villa and two men jumped me.

‘They had black t-shirts with the word security on them and asked what I was doing. I said I lived here and was going shopping. “They thought I was paparazzi.”

The cost of the wedding is said to be 1.5 million Euros.

No expense was spared for the big day, with the couple reportedly booking an entire floor of the hotel overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Antonio Rini, from the tourism department of the City of Palermo, said: ‘It is a great honor for us to host Dua Lipq’s wedding here and the reception they received will promote the city on the international stage.

‘A lot of big international artists will be coming to Palermo for the wedding and it’s a great comeback for the city.’

Insiders are hailing the couple’s second nuptials as the ‘showbiz wedding of the year’ and describe it as Sicily’s most notable marriage since Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone married Apollonia Vitelli in the 1972 classic The Godfather.

Leading names in showbiz such as Elton John, Olivia Dean, Mark Ronson and Charli XCX will be among the guests of the rumored £1 million party.

It is even said that The Candle In The Wind star is planning a mini concert for the couple, and the celebrations were talked about in the city of Palermo for days.

It was initially thought that the wedding would take place in September, but the date was brought forward as there were rumors that the One Kiss sensation would be performing a concert in the Italian capital Rome at the time.

The ceremony will take place at the 17th-century Villa Valguarnera, perhaps the most magnificent of the villas in Bagheria, an idyllic town ten miles from the capital.

Many people will recognize this venue and it was also featured in the opening credits of the popular TV series The White Lotus. The 18th-century building is an important historical landmark with its ornate gardens and sweeping staircases.

Earlier this week, a team of workers began blocking roads around venues in Palermo that were hosting celebrations this weekend.

Although guests may need to call it an early night as the venue is only licensed for outdoor music until 23:30, they can head inside for an extra 90 minutes of dancing.

On Monday, workers began blocking the entrances to the historic Palazzo Gangi in Palermo’s quaint Kalsa district and erecting screens to prevent paparazzi shootings.

The magnificent 18th-century Palazzo, which is privately owned, has a magnificent Galleria degli Specchi (Hall of Mirrors) and the ornate Baroque setting will be the center of the party on Saturday.

The venue was home to the classic ballroom scene from the iconic 1963 Sicilian film The Leopard, starring movie legend Burt Lancaster.

A second civil ceremony is expected to be officiated by Palermo Mayor Roberto Lagalla.

No expense will be spared on the wedding, with the couple estimated to be worth more than £100 million thanks to Dua Lipa’s singing success and Turner’s acting career – he is set to become the next James Bond.
