ELLE MACPHERSON LAPS UP THE SUN ON THE ISLAND OF IBIZA

Australian beauty Elle Macpherson is resting her famous body on the beautiful island of Ibiza off the coast of Spain. Known for its crystal clear waters and all-night parties, the hedonistic escape has become a celebrity hot spot, and it’s easy to see why from these photos.

Elle and her longtime boyfriend Arpad Busson, a Swiss financier, were recently spotted taking a leisurely stroll along the island's white sand beaches with their three-year-old son Flynn. And while some enjoy sleeping in on holiday, the supermodel was up at dawn for a jog with a close friend. No word on where the family stayed on the island, although they may have set up camp at one of Elle’s favourite resorts, El Palacio.

In the past, the leggy supermodel has enjoyed the facilities of the luxury hotel, a 1,000-year-old palace which has been transformed into an exclusive hideaway and a tribute to movie glamour. It boasts several vintage Hollywood collectables, including the sledge from Citizen Kane and one of Marilyn Monroe’s handbags, and is a known hangout of Claudia Schiffer and Oasis star Noel Gallagher.

Elle is a frequent visitor to the clubbers' paradise in the Balearics and partied alongside fellow supermodel Kate Moss and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger at a celebrity-studded bash there last year.
