Taking to her Instagram account, Amy shared a series of pictures from their holiday, and showcased her incredible figure in a floral crochet-style bikini while on a boat.
Amy - who recently said she feels 'stronger than ever' - beamed for the camera as she lay across the back of the boat in the shade, wearing stylish sunglasses and a straw hat for protection from the sun.
In another snap, she posed in the setting sun wearing a cream cropped top and matching maxi skirt while holding a glass of wine.
Amy also shared a series of snaps with Becky from their evenings out by the pool, enjoying cocktails and the incredible sea views.
The star captioned the picture montage: "Some much-needed twin time.
"We had the perfect little escape – full of sunshine, sangria, beach days, rooftop swims, incredible food, and most importantly, proper quality time together."
Amy, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 and underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy, continued: "After my cancer diagnosis, I promised my family (and myself) that I'd take more downtime.
"I used to live life at 100mph, saying yes to everything and everyone. But cancer shifts your perspective.
"This year I've been incredibly lucky with new job opportunities which have been full on but so rewarding and I can't wait to share all to you very soon. So having time to slow down isn't just okay – it's essential.
"These past few days have been the perfect reset and I'm heading into the new season feeling recharged, happy, stronger, and HEALTHIER than ever."
Amy then took time to pay tribute to her sister, writing: "Also bursting with pride for my sister @becky_dowden – she was accepted into her master's program in midwifery while we were away (yes, while still working full-time in the NHS!).
"I'm so proud of her and loved treating her to a well-deserved break."
The star concluded: "Feeling grateful, grounded, and SO excited for @bbcstrictly rehearsals to start tomorrow. Year 9 – let's go!"
Amy was inundated with comments from her fans, with one writing: " Looks like the perfect break. Rest is absolutely needed and holidays are so good for the soul. Enjoy strictly rehearsals and can't wait to see you back on the show this year."
Another added: "girl you're looking absolutely incredible. so beyond proud of you. can't wait to see you back on strictly !!!"
A third commented: "Well deserved and Strictly rehearsals! that makes me so happy x."
