While most of the U.S. is in a deep freeze, Rihanna spent the holidays with her family and relaxed on the beach in her native Barbados. The Bajan beauty had some fun in the sun during her vacation and posted several flicks on her Instagram page.

RiRi wore a bronze-colored bikini, which revealed her round booty, which was glistening in the sun. The R&B island gal also wore two necklaces -- one with a "Barbados" charm and the other a "246" charm, which is the island’s area code.

Rihanna was joined on the beach by her younger brother Rajad Fenty and her BFF Melissa Forde who snapped the photos.

Despite being surrounded by paparazzi, Rihanna didn’t let the shutterbugs spoiled her good time. The 25-year-old singer pranced around with a drink in her hand, rode a jet ski and enjoyed her favorite pastime, smoking an herbal cigarette (wink, wink).

By nightfall, Rihanna was able to enjoy some private time to herself as she sat on a rock by her lonesome. The 'Monster' singer was most likely reflecting on her career accomplishments in 2013.

“Love my Caribbean,” RiRi tweeted to her followers.
