Summer may have come to a close for another year, but Maya Jama is making the most of the final weeks of swimsuit weather. 

The Love Island host escaped the autumnal chill for a sun-soaked European getaway across Italy and Spain, sharing a series of breathtaking photos of her in holiday mode. While it's now approaching the season of tights and tweed as autumn is in full swing, Maya showcased her toned and tanned figure in a barely-there bikini in one stunning snap from her vacation. 

The 32-year-old posed in a tiny string bikini top on a patio with spectacular coastal views in the background. Maya paired her swimsuit with loose pants, which she wore low on her hips, and slung an unbuttoned black shirt on.

She looked relaxed with her long hair down and dark sunglasses on for a final cool-girl touch. "The euro stepping continued," Maya captioned the photo dump. 

Swimsuit muse

Maya is the ultimate bikini muse, and her recent sultry snaps proved it. The Love Island host shared more snaps of her swimming in the ocean and lounging by the pool in a striking one-piece with multiple cutouts along the torso. 

In another cheeky photo, the star was beaming as she stood in the pool wearing a bold zebra-print bikini.

An exciting career move

Before setting off on her European holiday, Maya celebrated a major career milestone earlier this month. Fans are used to seeing Maya on TV screens as the host of Love Island, but this year she made her scripted acting debut in season two of Netflix's wildly popular drama series, The Gentlemen

Maya appeared in the recent instalment as Aisha, a glamorous friend of Kaya Scodelario's character, Susie Glass.

"It’s always been something in the back of my mind, but I’ve just been so busy with presenting that I’ve never had the chance to pursue it," Maya, who auditioned for her role in The Gentlemen, told Variety about getting into acting. 

"I never want to do something, and it be [expletive], so I was like, if I’m going to do it, I want to train with someone and get as good as I can. So I said to my manager, “OK, I’m ready to maybe try some acting now,” and we got an agent, and he just started sending out loads of things."
