'Bye bye 2012!': Eva Longoria jets to the Bahamas to see in the New Year with a group of her famous friends

She's certainly had a hectic year, after wrapping the last series of Desperate Housewives, launching her own charity and splitting from two boyfriends.

But instead of relaxing at the end of 2012, it seems that Eva Longoria will be waving goodbye to the year in style after jetting to the Bahamas with a group of pals.

The fun-loving actress, who spent the festive period in LA, before flying to Miami, let all of her Twitter followers know just how she'd be celebrating New Year's Eve as she posted a picture of herself on board her private jet.

The 37-year-old pint-sized star looked happy and refreshed as she posed on board the plane with good friend and Prison Break star Amaury Nolasco and his girlfriend Lindsey Evans.

The Puerto Rican actor, who is regularly spotted out with pal Eva couldn't seem to contain his excitement about the trip either, posting a picture on his Instagram account of the group outside a sign for Bimini.

Actor Wilmer Valderrama also joined the party, tweeting about how much he was looking forward to welcoming in 2013.

Eva looked laid back and bohemian in her picture, wearing a long, beige jersey dress and adding a wide-brimmed Panama hat over her naturally tousled dark hair.

She wore a pair of aviator sunglasses and grinned at the camera as she sat next to Amaury ahead of the take-off.

'Bye bye 2012! Here comes 2013! Taking off!!,' she wrote underneath the photo.

Actor Amaury also looked casual but in the mood for some fun as he boarded the plane in a pair of beige trousers and a plain white T-shirt.

'We have arrived! @wilmervalderrama @erickjuan @evalongoria @pacolopezpr #bimini #newyears #futimes,' he wrote on Twitter.

Instead of having a quiet New Year's Eve, it seems that the group of pals will be partying in style on the tiny island, just a short flight from Miami.

Despite wrapping the last series of the show that made her a household name earlier in the year, Eva certainly doesn't seem to be resting on her laurels as she spent the last half of 2012 campaigning for President Barack Obama, pursuing a Masters in Chicano Studies and launching her foundation.

You sure that's not a bus? I'd be terrified on that thing.

That's a really small plane. I'd rather fly commercial than one of those. The small planes bounce way too much and are not quite as save as their larger counterparts. Where's the mayor?

They are all trying to look like teenagers when in reality they all look old enough to have teenagers.

For people who say that she isn't famous; she played Gabrielle Solis on desperate housewives for 8 seasons. That's more than a lot of people can say who are in that business. So please do your homework before you say things like that!

Its great Eva Longoria can stuff lots of friends in her er, cramped party jet. But I don't want her to tell me to Save the Earth by getting an electric car or riding a bike, unless she can first dump her thousand-gallon jet.

I thought small private planes like that had a strictly enforced weight limit? Literally, if you pack one suitcase too many, the plane will go down....as did with Aliyah's plane, which, ironically engouh, was headed to the Bahama's also (actually, they were returning from the Bahama's after a video shoot). NTSB confirmed that their plane crashed because there was literally too much luggage. I'd be terrified to even board that plane! They obviously landed safely though, thankfully. Have fun guys! Wish I was there!!! Safe New Year to all ;)

Twitter is a great tool for perpetuating your own self-importance and showing off how pretentious you and your friends are.
