Cristiano Ronaldo soaked up the sun as he enjoyed his well-deserved break ahead of a hectic end to the season with club and country.
The 39-year-old was given a rest by his international manager for Portugal’s friendly against Sweden on Thursday, despite being part of the 32-man preliminary squad.
Ronaldo responded to the invitation to relax and recuperate, departing for the most lavish setting Saudi Arabia has to offer with his family.
His partner Georgina Rodriguez posted a series of images on Instagram documenting their travels with the caption: “Love in paradise.” We continue to discover Saudi Arabia.
She also tagged Gulf tourism board Visit Saudi’s report on the “Red Sea” megaproject, which is expected to be completed in 2030.

Ronaldo also made a point of updating his legion of social media followers during his vacation, with one in particular attracting a lot of attention.
The Al-Nassr striker opened a window into his unrivaled recovery regime by posting an image of himself in a pair of Erakulis pants, designed to speed recovery after matches, at the £700-a-night St Regis, Monday.
However, what caught fans’ attention was the state of what was peeking out from the bottom of her high-tech stockings. They revealed a pair of battered, battered and swollen feet – the result of his two decades at the pinnacle of elite sport.
Just days before, Ronaldo played his 1,001st professional club match, scoring the only goal in his team’s Saudi Pro League victory over Al-Ahli. It was also his 50th effort since joining the club in 2023.
Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes and scored the only goal in AL-Nassr’s 1-0 win over Al-Ahli last week.
Portugal coach Roberto Martinez has decided to rest several of his key players for Thursday’s match against Sweden, including the 39-year-old.
Ronaldo gave a window into his recovery earlier this week, but most fans could only talk about his feet.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was given some extra time before the end of the domestic calendar, when Al-Nassr will attempt to overturn a 12-point deficit to leaders Al-Hilal.
Ronaldo is also aiming for another European Championship as red-hot Portugal travel to Germany for this summer’s tournament.
