'Got it covered!' Suki Waterhouse plays lifeguard for the day as she shares bikini selfie from her getaway to Mexico's sun-soaked Mayan Riviera 

She welcomed in the New Year enjoying a sun-soaked break on the picturesque Caribbean island of Barbados.

And now Suki Waterhouse, 24, has added to her growing list of envy-inducing winter travels by jetting across the waters to Mexico's breathtaking Mayan Riviera.

On Tuesday, the British beauty took to Instagram to share a shot of herself playing lifeguard, as she posed on a bright yellow tower on a pristine beach while wearing a crisp white shirt and sunglasses at the luxury Hotel Esencia.

Hours later, she turned up the heat as she posted another shot of herself in a polka dot halterneck bikini, while a wide-brimmed hat sat atop her golden locks.

With a delicate pendant and gold hoop earrings adding a touch of pizazz to her beachwear, the model and actress opted to forgo a wordy caption, simply tagging Hotel Esencia, located on the powdery white beach of Xpu-Ha.

Also included in her series of snapshots was a selfie of the star appearing to be topless, save for a pair of necklaces.

Her fresh batch of snapshots come days after she shared a string of selfies while enjoying a beach break in Barbados.

In one shot, she ditched her bikini in favour of baring all in a racy mirror selfie, covering her modesty with her hands as she stripped nude for the artistic image.

Snapped with a 35mm camera, the picture showed Suki stood in what appeared to be a bathroom doorway with her lustrous locks cascading over her shoulders.

Meanwhile, her dreams of being a pop star have been dealt a major blow after her debut track failed to make the top 200.

The catwalk queen and actress was hoping to make herself a triple threat with another career in music, releasing her first single Brutally in early November.

However, several weeks on from its release, Suki's song has only been purchased 296 times meaning it fails to even scratch through into the top 200 tracks in the UK's download charts.

The track did achieve some success on streaming app Spotify, however, racking up 300,000 streams. 

A representative for Suki told MailOnline the model has plans to release more singles late in 2017.

While her pop career has taken a bashing, her romantic life is on the up. 

The model is said to be in the throes of a passionate new romance with Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden, who soared to fame after taking on the role of Robb Stark in the HBO ratings juggernaut.

Suki's reported new romance follows on from her hunky Hollywood ex Bradley Cooper, 41, in March 2015 - he is said to be expecting his first child with model Irina Shayk.

Suki and Bradley first met the Elle Style Awards in London in 2013, but called an end to their romance two years later.

The split came as a surprise as it was claimed that couple were house hunting together in London.

Last year, Richard accused Cara of being 'too difficult' and 'seemed ungrateful' after a cringe-worthy TV interview.

The Hammersmith-born model furiously tweeted back, stating: 'I have no idea who you are but I think it’s a little desperate for a grown man to be bad mouthing someone they don’t know.

'If you really want attention that badly, try focusing on your own work and not other people’s,' she continued. 

Clearly surprised by her reaction, Richard responded: 'Hi @Caradelevingne, nothing but respect for you. Misquoted and blown out of proportion. #SlowNewsWeek.'
