Tulisa looked incredible as she gave an insight into the first day of her sun-soaked holiday on Monday.
The singer, 37, posed for photos wearing a black and white plunging crochet bikini and matching striped skirt.
She flashed her taut midriff in the stylish two-piece and styled her hair straight to top off her look.
Enjoying a day at the beach, Tulisa headed for sea food and a glass of wine with her friends.
After dinner, the N-Dubz star pulled her hair back and posed as one pal sketched her portrait in a notebook.
Tulisa recently announced she has ended her three years of celibacy and hinted at finding love.

During her I’m A Celeb appearance last year the singer revealed her orientation – which is based on based on emotional connection rather than physical attraction – but admitted the thought of being with someone still made her feel ‘physically sick’.
At the peak of her fame, Tulisa endured a very high-profile 2012 court case after her ex boyfriend Justin Edwards released a sex tape of her, leaving her traumatised and ‘impacting her relationships to this day’.
She previously told how she felt ‘judged, disgusting and ashamed’ because of the ordeal and due to revenge porn was not being illegal at the time, she only managed to get a court apology from him.
But while appearing Jaime Laing’s Great Company podcast on Thursday, Tulisa revealed she was no longer celibate, but reiterated that for her finding someone attractive was ‘few and far between’.
She said: ‘People [think I was celibate because] there is some kind of vow I made to god, or to myself, I just am very picky.’
‘Finding someone I like is very few and far between and then if I do someone that I like, I can feel physical attraction to you I can be very flirtatious but I don’t think about having sex with them until I start building quite a deep emotional emotional and it take a long time to get to that place’.
‘It’s less about me going “no I don’t want to have sex with anyone” it was case that there was no one I wanted to have sex with, I just didn’t want to’.
When host Jamie asked if she saw her body as sacred, Tulisa replied: ‘Yeah, I think all woman are sacred and they should be worshipped a lot more so than they are being treated in today’s society’.

She added: ‘You’re also taking on other people’s energy when you’re sleeping around, you don’t realise the things – aside from STDs- the other things you’re putting into your body, the energy has got to be right when you’re having that exchange and it should be about the connection’.
Last year Tulisa admitted she’s had ‘periods of being asexual’, which is someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction to people of any gender, during her appearance on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast.
She said: ‘I’ve had periods of being asexual in my life, periods. I’ve been told that I’m sapiosexual as well, very much attracted to intelligence.’
She added: ‘I can look at someone and think they have a cute face but I don’t get any tingles. I don’t think about sex.
‘I can look at someone and think “Wow you’re stunning”, but for me attraction is I have to want to kiss someone or be physical with someone.’
Speaking about her celibacy, she joked: ‘Three years and four months, but who’s counting.
‘I haven’t got to the point where I’m like this is it. It’s hard to word things without giving away too much about your own current love life.’
Tulisa went onto insist that she is single as she ‘doesn’t want to be in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship’.
Asked if she believes in love, she replied: ‘I think love is all about perception and I think one person’s perception of love wouldn’t be the same as my perception.
‘Real love for me is time and loyalty, choosing someone every day. That for me is love. I have it in a lot of friendships.’
Tulisa is leaving no stone unturned in her upcoming autobiography, detailing her battle with addiction, two suicide attempts and her sex tape scandal.
She vowed to be ‘brutally honest’ in the tome, titled Judgement: Love, Trials and Tribulations, and has stayed true to her word.
