After an action-packed few weeks, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were clearly in the mood for some serious rest and relaxation.
The pair – who married in a wonderful romantic ceremony in Italy, then honeymooned in Ireland and Prague before returning to Los Angeles as Mr and Mrs West – have now jetted off to Punta Mita in Mexico for a luxury private holiday with no disturbances.
Celebrity fans would be forgiven for thinking it's a second honeymoon. In fact, Kim and Kanye are celebrating Kanye's birthday – the rapper turned 37 on 8 June – in the only five-star private residence in Punta Mita, a long-time favourite of the of the couple. The Kardashian-Jenners are frequent guests of the ultra-luxurious retreat, as are the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Courtney Cox, Demi Moore, Eva Longoria and Jennifer Aniston.
Kim, 33, and Kanye have been making the most of the private beach resort, lounging by the pool and sipping cocktails. Of course, the reality TV queen shared a snap of the beautiful setting, complete with the sea, a palm tree, their poolside drinks and sunglasses. Just in case her fans were in any doubt, Kim wrote on Instagram: "No better place to be...Thank you Joe Francis!!!! #CasaAramara #PuntaMita".
In another breathtaking photograph showing the pool alongside the sparkling blue ocean, Kim wrote: "My view #NoFilter". The Keeping up with the Kardashians star also showed off her toned, tanned abs in a couple of bikini shots. The brunette is seen lounging beside the pool in a pretty cream bikini working hard to maintain her sun-kissed glow. "Tan time ☀", she wrote next to one of the pictures.
The private luxury resort, nestled amid acres of lush tropical gardens along the beach, comes with a price tag of $15,000 – $30,000 per night, and is just over two hours by air from Los Angeles. The loved-up pair won't be able to stay too much longer though – it's their little daughter North's first birthday on Sunday 15 June.
