Maura relaxed on a lounger close to the water's edge on a white sandy beach.
Her brunette hair fell in beachy waves from underneath a floppy hat and she enjoyed a delicious sushi spread under a canopy when the sunbathing got too much.
The Irish stunner's getaway comes after she was named as one of the stars of the upcoming series of The Traitors USA.
Maura will appear alongside Real Housewives legends Lisa Rinna, Porsha Williams, Dorinda Medley and Candiace Bassett.
Also in the line-up are Travis Kelce's mum Donna Kelce, Big Brother stars Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell, and Survivor favourites Rob Cesternino and Yam Yam Arocho.
They'll be joined by The Amazing Race winner Natalie Anderson, The Bachelor's Colton Underwood, Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas, RuPaul's Drag Race alum Monét X Change, figure skater Johnny Weir, and singer Eric Nam.
A source told us last week: 'Maura is becoming a huge star across the pond and her slot on The Traitors is just part of that.
'The future is bright — and has stars and stripes.'
Rumours swirled she had joined the US version of the TV mystery game — which always has a celeb cast — when she stepped aside from hosting Love Island USA's sister show Aftersun.
But in an announcement video this week, she told Aussie replacement Sophie Monk: 'Don't get too comfy, I'm coming back.'
Maura Higgins reveals Love Island USA return - just hours after being 'replaced' by new Aftersun host
Maura has just become a global ambassador for L'Oreal and is fresh from a posh brand trip with Space NK to Mykonos, where she posed in her bikini.
She was joined by fellow Love Islander Amber Gill, looking red hot in a sparkly mini dress.
The star was previously said to be 'relieved' to have been offered work from L'Oreal, who have given her six-figures after impressing with her shoot for MAC cosmetics.

Kris Jenner shocks fans as she praises controversial Kanye West and Tristan Thompson in Father's Day post
KRIS Jenner shocked fans after she praised Kanye West and Tristan Thompson in a Father's Day post. The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch, 69, posted an Instagram tribute to "all of the dads" in her life. 4 4 4 Among those included were her daughters' exes - Kayne West, Scott Disick, Tristan Thompson and Travis Scott. Kris penned: "Happy Father's Day to all of the dads, step dads, grandfathers and father figures out there! "You have shaped, supported and loved us in so many ways and I'm grateful to have witnessed that love that each of you has for your children. "To my son, Rob... you were born to be a daddy and I am so proud of the father and man you are. I love you! "I wish all the dads out there a day filled with love." Kris' montage-style post also featured her own exes, Robert Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner. Meanwhile, her current partner, Corey Gamble, was likewise included in the tribute. Another commented: "The way u included Scott and Kanye is so sweet." A third penned: "Appreciate the inclusiveness no matter the personal differences, go Kris." Kris Jenner's 'struggling to sell' her Hidden Hills mansion as interested buyers feel $13.5m price tag is 'way too high' While a fourth remarked: "This is an example of being the bigger person. Bravo!" Other followers queried some of her inclusions, as one wrote: "Kanye? Tristan? Wow." Another chimed in: "Girl Tristan? Be fr lol." As a third said: "Remove Kanye Eeeeeew." Earlier this month, The U.S. Sun revealed Kris has been "struggling" to sell her family's iconic Hidden Hills mansion - as interested buyers complained the massive $13.5m price tag is 'way too high." All About Kris Jenner Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who rose to fame with her six children after starring on the E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Here's what Kris has been up to: Kris was first married to the late Robert Kardashian, famously known as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney in his 1995 murder trial. They shared four children: daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, and a son, Robert The former couple were married from 1978 until 1991. Following their divorce, Kris tied the knot with former Olympian, Bruce Jenner, who also appeared on KUWTK. The pair shared two daughters, Kendall and Kylie. They split in 2015, around the time that Bruce transitioned and changed her name to Caitlyn. Kris met her current boyfriend, Corey Gamble, in August 2014, and they have been together ever since. Kris manages her daughters' widely-successful careers and they've continued their reality TV run with The Kardashians on Hulu, shortly after KUWTK ended. The home would be familiar to Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans, as it was a staple of filming the reality show for over 11 years. According to an insider, the house 'hasn't had any good enough offers.' 'People have complained it's way overpriced for what it is. There has also been a lot of concern over wildfire danger and the lack of insurance available for that. 'The home is gorgeous, everyone agrees on that. But in order to get someone to bite, they'll need to make the price lower,' the real estate source claimed. 4

Broadway hit Stereophonic is the closest you will come to being in the studio with Fleetwood Mac
Playwright David Adjmi's deft, droll portrait of an ascendant 1970s Anglo-American rock band protractedly – and acrimoniously – recording their 'difficult' second album in California arrives from Broadway trailing clouds of glory. It was named Best Play at the 2024 Tony awards; the New York Times anointed it 'a must-see American classic'. There's no small pressure, then, on Daniel Aukin's hit production and the West End cast (including three key players from the New York run) to wow us. Do they? Yes, up to a considerable point. Stereophonic is an original, if obvious idea, executed with elan – yet it also feels a touch two-dimensional. In its huge favour: after three hours of eavesdropping on a lovingly recreated retro recording studio (anachronistic Yamaha monitors aside), you'll likely emerge from the theatre feeling elated and attached to the unnamed band – two fractious couples and a drummer with a fraying marriage back home. They slog through sessions, and verbally slug it out, tended by a pair of geeky but laid-back sound engineers. There's idle chat and cocaine, spliffs and tiffs, and gilded moments when the music (impressively performed live by the cast) goes from side-show to main event. Was Adjmi inspired by the making, in 1976, of the Fleetwood Mac album Rumours? There are certainly striking parallels, not least between the play's American female singer and Stevie Nicks; and the songs, by former Arcade Fire member Will Butler, have a seductive Mac-ish energy. A lawsuit by Ken Caillat, the author of a 2012 book about the experience of producing Rumours, resulted in an out-of-court settlement earlier this year. Laying aside the controversy, Stereophonic clearly broaches creative struggle more broadly – the way pain can yield artistic gain, but also the human cost of going for broke. While the balance between art and heart-ache, technical challenge and emotional clash, is well achieved, what's missing are the specifics that might give the band a stronger inner-life. We're left in the dark when it comes to the minutiae of their past, or the day-to-day logistics of their existence (no fans, journalists or corporate types intrude). When their previous album tops the charts, it feels curiously incidental; how the new album alters because of the shifting dynamics seems nebulous. It's best to tune into the finely calibrated performances, and luxuriate in warm nostalgia for that colourful, flare-trousered era, blighted though it was, as we're reminded, by addled brains and chauvinist thinking. Lucy Karczewski and Nia Towle shine as the band's golden-voiced, ever more independent-minded women. The men combine a comically unlovely lordliness with intermittent pathos: Zachary Hart emitting hippy gibberish and romantic distress as the wrecked bass-player; Jack Riddiford sullen yet magnetic as the front-man; Chris Stack tilting between paternalism and petulance as the dandy drummer. Eli Gelb endears himself as the gradually emboldened chief knob-twiddler while Andrew R Butler is a delight as his sidekick. It all adds up to a rewarding, if long night. A modern classic, though? Not so sure, man.

MAGA barbie Savannah Chrisley shares heartwarming first hug with father Todd after prison release
Reality Star Savannah Chrisley took to Instagram Sunday to celebrate her first Father's Day in years with her dad Todd Chrisley. The 27-year-old reality start and influencer celebrated her reunion with her father, who was was pardoned by President Donald Trump last month. Savannah told 3.1 million followers on the social media site, "Father's Day looks a little different these days,' with a hysterical emoji. Savannah wrapped up in saying, 'I sure do. Love you, daddy!! God is good!!' Savannah accompanied the holiday post with footage of herself and Todd, 56, leaving a jail facility in Florida, where he had been in custody and connection with his and wife Julie's 2022 bank fraud and tax evasion convictions. Savannah had worked tirelessly on behalf of her parents after they went into custody. Todd, 55, and Julie, 52, were found guilty by a Georgia jury in November of 2022 of accusations of tax evasion and more than $30 million in bank fraud. Todd and Julie were serving a collective 17 years in custody - Todd is serving a 12-year sentence, which was later reduced to 10 years, while Julie was serving a seven-year sentence - at prisons in Florida and Kentucky respectively. They had been there for more than two years since beginning their sentences in January of 2023. Savannah in February told People about her hopes to gain an audience with Trump, who she supported during the 2024 election cycle, speaking in July at the Republican National Convention. 'I know that I am going through the proper channels to do so,' the Atlanta native said of the pardon process. 'And I'm going to bring as much awareness to it as possible because these things should not happen.' Savannah's statement came about three months after exclusively reported the day after the election that Todd Chrisley had been 'jumping for joy in prison' over Trump's defeat of Democratic challenger Kamala Harris. 'Savannah truly believes that Trump will pardon her parents,' a source told November 6. The couple - who were initially indicted in August 2019 - said they were innocent of the crimes they were convicted of and had filed multiple appeals to have their sentences reversed. Todd, 55, and Julie, 52, were found guilty by a Georgia jury in November of 2022 of accusations of tax evasion and more than $30 million in bank fraud Savannah said that she planned to inform Trump about the 'corruption in Fulton County,' Georgia and 'how the judge handled the case' in asking for the pardons. The argument might hit home for the president, who repeatedly accused Georgia officials of corruption in his January 2, 2021 phone call to state election officials. In the infamous call, the president asked election officials to 'find 11,780 votes' in his favor in the 2020 presidential election. Savannah told People her family 'stood in the truth' and 'stood in what we knew to be the truth' but were ultimately let down by a broken legal system that left her family in a state of shock after her parents were convicted and sentenced. 'We just saw all of it and we're like, "There's no way. There's no way it's going to end this way,"' Savannah said. 'But, it did.' The Chrisley Knows Best star told the outlet of how the the family's problems have impacted her, as she has taken over the role of legal guardian of her siblings Grayson, 18, and Chloe, 12, when she was 25. 'I think that I've gone through a lot of s*** in my life, I really have,' Savannah told the outlet. 'And I've gone through a lot of things that I've never even publicly spoken about. 'When you fight silent battles, resilience just comes. When you fight silent battles, there was no one that was there for you.' The Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast host explained how she has become more resilient with age, wisdom and life experience. 'Whether you didn't allow someone to be there for you, or whether you just didn't have people there, you just learned to pick yourself up,' she said. Savannah told the outlet that her father Todd 'was a constant encourager' who imbued her with an upbeat attitude ready to take on all challenges life presents. 'I come from a place [where] my dad was very much just like, "Come on, we can do this. We can do this. You can do anything a man can do, if not better,"' Savannah said. Savannah said that her ability to bounce back from adversity comes from 'having that encouragement' from her loved ones. 'Also, knowing that I don't ever want to give up, and I want to give my future children something to look at and be proud of,' Savannah told the outlet. 'I have such a fight mentality in me. I'm a Leo to its core. So, I just don't give up.' In November, a source told that Savannah had been tirelessly working to free her parents over the past few years, spurring her appearance at the RNC. 'Ever since they were convicted she has spent every waking hour campaigning to free them and when she found the loophole through the RNC she jumped on it,' the source said. Savannah 'took that stage in the hope of seeing her parents walk out of jail and it will likely happen' and was 'gloating' over Trump's election day dominance. The source added that 'everyone is just hoping that she stops going on' in her efforts to upend the legal decisions, but it is clear she is moving forward.
