Rihanna poses in her bikini

Love The Way You Lie: Rihanna poses in her bikini as she flaunts curves and stretches herself out aboard luxury yacht

She's been working and playing hard recently, taking her recording sessions and partying in between America and London.
But Rihanna is now hard at work enjoying herself as she relaxes on a sunny break in Sardinia.
The Umbrella hitmaker jetted in to the stylish region earlier this week and has spent the majority of her time aboard a yacht with her girl pals.

Rihanna, 24, posed in her bikini as she flaunted her body while posing a number of positions on the luxury boat.
She was joined by two girl pals, who also tweeted photographs of the singer in her summery finest.

In one image Rihanna can be seen smouldering at the camera with her lips covered in red lipstick.
She pouts at the camera seductively while her hair blows in the wind and her tattoo can be seen.
In another image she stretches across a boat next to one friend as they pose with the backdrop of a clear blue sky.

Rihanna also wears a turban over her long dark hair in one picture and in another she hugs a metal post.
She also poses on a bed with her legs in the air while wearing just the strapless bikini top and bottoms.
The super star recently had some time out in her native Barbados to mourn the death of her beloved grandma Dolly.

But she relocated to the Mediterranean island over the weekend.
The singer and her friends are staying aboard a luxury boat just off the coast and it is clear she is making the most of the opportunity to relax.
As she arrived on the island the Talk That Talk singer was seen clutching a bottle of Corona as she made her way across the airport tarmac - clearly in the mood to start the party early.
And she's sparked speculation her rumoured beau Drake is set to holiday with her in the Italian resort.
