Es Vedrà is a small rocky island off the coast of the Spanish island pictured behind the former chat show host in her snap.
The beautiful brunette is seen with a flower garland in her hair and stripes of pink and white make-up on her face.
With a cream and grey shawl wrapped round her shoulders, the celebrity accessorized with multiple turquoise necklaces.
Sources close to the former talk show host revealed Christian, a jewelery designer who was 45 when he died, introduced Ricki to Ibiza when they first started dating in 2009 and they went there every summer.

They tied the knot on April 8, 2012 but Ricki filled for divorce on October 29, 2014, citing 'irreconcilable differences,' which she later revealed was due to his bi-polar disorder.
They reportedly called it off in December 2014, but it was finalized in 2015.
However, they moved back in together and remained friends up until Christian shot himself on February 11.

Ricki announced her ex-husband's death, saying he had succumbed to his mental illness.
Since then she has frequently taken to social media to remember him and raise awareness of bipolar disorder.
In one snap of Christian, she wrote: 'Today 6/11/17 marks 4 months since losing my #beloved twin flame #christianevans.
'As time passes, the days do get easier, the tears come less frequent. Life goes on, but the hole in my heart never goes away. He was a light. My light. My greatest teacher. '
