Bella seemed to be having a great time as she played around in the waves with her girlfriends, who sported more traditional black and red string bikinis.
The sister of Gigi Hadid sported plenty of bling for her tropical getaway, including a gold luxury wristwatch and a string of charms from Chrome Hearts that she wore around her waist and draped over her bikini bottoms.
Though her Dior outfit looked stunning, the denim may not have fit well after getting soaked, as Bella had to adjust her top multiple times.

After spending some time in the water, Bella and her pals went for a short run out of the foam onto the beach to dry off and soak up some warming sun.
The warm environs were a far cry from her Christmas plans, when she flew to her mother Yolanda’s Pennsylvania farmhouse.
The second-generation model was joined by her 24-year-old sister Gigi and her 20-year-old brother Anwar, also models.
Yolanda, a former model and Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, had relocated from her warmer West Coast home to her East Coast farm, where she raises cattle, chicken and ponies.
Bella is also the daughter of Jordanian–American real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.

Bella seemed to have left most of the guys behind for her trip, though she did share a video of herself getting caught in the rain while riding in a convertible with her friend Luka Sabbat.
She had been dating The Weeknd on and off going back to 2015. They first separated in 2016, before reuniting in 2018, though the relationship fizzled earlier this year.
They reportedly split due to ‘distance,’ according to an E! News source from August.
‘They are in different places right now, physically and mentally,’ the source explained. ‘Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut.’
The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) made his feature film debut late this year in the critically praised Uncut Gems.
The crime thriller landed on many critics’ end of year lists, and star Adam Sandler has been the subject of Oscar buzz for what many reviewers have called his best role to date.
