Simone Ashley looked sensational as she paddled out in a super flattering floral bikini while soaking up the sun in Panama.

The Bridgerton actress, 31, oozed glamour as she showed off her washboard abs, toned figure, and sun-kissed skin in a carousel of pictures shared on social media.

While enjoying the sun-filled enclave, Simone took the opportunity to try out her paddleboard skills, with one picture showing her kneeling on a board alongside friends.

She left her luscious black hair loose around her shoulders, slipping into a bright green bikini to pose against a tropical backdrop filled with palm trees.

Simone, who recently played Amari Mari in The Devil Wears Prada 2, looked incredible as she showed off a floral bejewelled bikini with pink gem-encrusted bottoms in another snap.

Perched on the side of her boat, she flaunted her mermaid waves and sculpted physique. In one clip, the actress smiled aboard a boat that her friend was surfing alongside.

In another picture, she revealed a super-healthy holiday breakfast featuring fresh watermelon, granola bowls, and an omelette. Surrounded by friends, the Sex Education star enjoyed a lavish holiday by the Caribbean coast; taking boat trips, sunning on the beach and tucking into delicious meals.

She left a gushing caption alongside the glamorous pictures, writing: "Probably the best trip ever!!!!! Splish splash x" alongside two sparkle emojis.

The post was met with a flurry of envious yet complimentary comments, with one saying she looked "stunning" and others excitedly welcoming her to Panama.

Super private hotel

Her holiday was based at the Islas Secas, a luxury hotel situated in the Central American destination of Panama. The venue describes itself as being "driven by conservation" and "defined by adventure".

Set on a 14-island archipelago in the Gulf of Chiriquí on the Pacific coast of Panama, the hotel offers luxury stays. The exclusive destination hosts a maximum of just 18 people at a time.

Commenting beneath Simone's post, the hotel wrote: "We’re delighted to hear it. It was our pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you back very soon."
