Mariah Carey was on the beautiful island of Capri this week, taking a relaxing break from her busy World Tour.

Having wrapped up the first leg in Asia and Japan, the Loverboy singer took full advantage of her down time, her curves poured into a revealing bikini as she lounged on her luxury yacht. Mariah's barely-there tangerine and brown two-piece was accessorised with a splash of glam – Hollywood shades and a £20,000 diamond ring.

The Mediterranean island is a favourite holiday spot for the American vocalist, who joins Demi Moore, Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts – as well as legends Greta Garbo, Clark Gable and Sophia Loren – on the long roster of celebs who have enjoyed Capri's sunny shores.

In fact Capri, located in the Bay of Naples off the coast of Italy, is where Mariah took refuge from the limelight after suffering a high profile breakdown in 2001. She spent five months on the scenic island, enjoying the tranquil surroundings and learning, she said, "how to be healthy and take care of myself".

But now, it looks like it's back to work for the sexy singer – she's on her way Stateside to kick off her US tour on August 1.
