Cristiano Ronaldo soaked in the sunshine as he made use of his well-earned break ahead of the hectic end to the season with both club and country.
The 39-year-old has been given a rest by his international manager for Portugal’s friendly against Sweden on Thursday, despite being included in the preliminary 32-man squad.
Ronaldo has taken up the invitation to relax and recuperate, setting off for the most lavish settings 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 keep discovering Saudi Arabia’.
She also tagged the account of the Gulf Nation’s tourist board, Visit Saudi, from the ‘Red Sea’ megaproject, set to be completed in 2030.

Ronaldo has been similarly keen to update his legion of followers on social media during his holiday, with one in particular garnering a lot of attention.
The Al-Nassr striker provided a window into his unrivalled recovery regime as he posted a image of himself in a pair of Erakulis trousers, designed to speed up recovery after games, at the £700-per-night St Regis on Monday.
However, what caught the attention of fans was the condition of what was poking out the bottom of his hi-tech bottoms. They revealed a pair of battered, beaten up and swollen feet – owing to his two decades at the top of elite sport.
Only a few days prior Ronaldo had played his 1,001st professional game at club level, scoring the only goal in his side’s Saudi Pro League victory over Al-Ahli. The effort was also his 50th since joining the club in 2023.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been afforded some extra time away from action ahead of the end to the domestic calendar, when Al-Nassr will attempt to overhaul a 12-point deficit to leaders Al-Hilal.
Ronaldo also has his sights set on another European Championship as a red-hot Portugal travel to Germany for this summer’s tournament.
