When it comes to nailing the summer vacation playbook, Emily Ratajkowski knows the assignment—and she’s not shy about sharing every luxurious detail of how it’s done.
The model recently posted a collection of snapshots from her getaway at La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, and it’s the kind of content that makes you immediately start pricing plane tickets. The gallery is a masterclass in resort living: bikini moments by the pool, bare-minimum crochet dresses that somehow manage to be both casual and impossibly chic, and crop tops that prove you don’t need much fabric to make a statement when you’ve got confidence and the Mediterranean sun working in your favor.
What makes Ratajkowski’s vacation flex different from the usual influencer resort dump is the specificity of it. She’s not just lying on a generic lounge chair—she’s lounging at an actual luxury destination hotel, which means the backdrop does half the work. But she’s clearly put thought into the wardrobe game too. The mix of swimwear and barely-there resort wear shows someone who understands that vacation fashion isn’t about coverage; it’s about mood, moment, and knowing your angles.
The real takeaway here? Ratajkowski’s vacation content taps into something that transcends celebrity flexing. It’s aspirational, sure, but it also reads as achievable for anyone willing to invest in a solid resort experience and a few key pieces that work in rotation. The crochet dresses and crop tops are totally reproducible on a regular person budget—it’s just about knowing how to style them with confidence and a backdrop that matters.
Whether you’re saving up for your own Mediterranean escape or just here for the poolside aesthetic, Ratajkowski’s summer getaway proves that sometimes the best vacation flex is simply showing up, looking good, and soaking it all in.
