BRITNEY Spears splashed out $13k-a-night for a beachside villa for her romantic five day vacation with fiance Sam Asghari to mark her conservatorship victory.
The superstar and her long-term beau jetted off to the luxury Brando Resort in French Polynesia and even extended their stay because Britney was “having so much fun celebrating her independence,” a source exclusively told The Sun.

Britney, 39, and Sam confirmed their engagement earlier last month after four years together and battling through her legal troubles.
They celebrated after a judge suspended dad Jamie Spears as conservator of her estate during a hearing on September 29, after Britney’s lawyer petitioned to have him removed.
He will be replaced by accountant John Zabel until the end of this year, and her attorney promised to file paperwork within the next few months to fully end the conservatorship after 13 years.
Britney said she was on “cloud nine” on Instagram as she flew off on vacation with 27-year-old Sam, and they had “the time of their lives,” the insider told us.
“They flew from California to mainland French Polynesia by private jet,” they said.
“Upon landing at Faa’a International Airport they boarded a propeller plane to the small island of Tetiaroa where they arrived at the stunning Brando Resort.
“Britney and Sam stayed on the island for five nights. They were initially planning to vacation for four but decided to extend the trip as they were having so much fun.
“They stayed in a luxury beachfront three bedroom villa which cost around $13k a night, there was certainly no expense spared as they celebrated Britney getting her independence back.”
The Brando is one of the world’s most exclusive private island retreats named in honor of actor Marlon Brando, who purchased the island after falling in love with the destination during the filming of 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty.
According to online descriptions, it harbors 35 private villas with plunge pools and direct access to empty stretches of pristine white-sand beach.
Services offered at the resort include mouth-watering dishes from a Michelin two-star chef, spa treatments and unlimited activities, from exploring the lagoon in a Polynesian outrigger canoe to attending lectures about local marine life.
The source said Britney and Sam were desperate for some time alone and soaked up the sun after an intense few months.
“They finally had chance to relax and spend quality time together, but of course, being Britney and Sam, they also spent a hell of a lot of time in the gym working out,” the insider added.
And Britney was in no rush to get home, as the source says: “The couple left the island on October 2 on a flight from Mainland French Polynesia to San Francisco.
“They spent the night in San Francisco and boarded a private jet to Los Angeles on the 3rd, they clearly wanted to drag the trip out.”
The singer had been pictured in Hawaii in recent weeks before moving on to the Brando Resort.
Britney posted a number of risque shots from their trip, including snaps of her completely naked in their villa and topless crouching in the sea, while Sam showed the pair went surfing.

The star also shared a video of the couple on a pontoon boat, writing: “Having the time of my life here,” while also calling the location “paradise.”
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed this week Britney’s legal team ordered a professional security sweep of her LA mansion while she was away – in the wake of allegations she was spied on.
The sweep – similar to those conducted by the CIA or FBI –  comes after damning documentary claims her dad Jaime hid a listening device in the star’s bedroom and monitored her phone and iPad.
Lawyer Mathew Rosengart brought in former military security specialists to conduct an extensive search of her $7.4million villa in Thousand Oaks.
The team checked furniture, decor, doors, walls, vents, and ceilings looking for any hidden surveillance or listening devices.
A source close to Britney told The Sun: “When allegations arose about the spying, action was immediately taken to make sure things were more secure.”
Speaking in court about the surveillance ahead of the suspension, Britney’s lawyer said: “Ms. Spears knows of the allegations and she’s traumatized. She still sleeps in the bedroom her dad allegedly bugged. She’s pleading to be free of him.
“Ms. Spears will not work until her father is removed. He should be suspended today. My client will be extraordinarily distraught if Mr. Spears stays on for one more day.”
Mathew put on record the “unfathomable” behavior of Jamie by “eavesdropping on his daughter” and “recording conversations” including those with her children and even her former attorney Samuel Ingham III.
The high-powered attorney also called Jamie “cruel, toxic, abusive and an alcoholic.”
