Ibiza is always at the top of the list of favourite places for professional sportspeople to relax in the summer after a demanding season. And we could say the same of top models, ask Alessandra Ambrosio!

Two of the most famous footballers in the world flew to the White Isle this week to unwind after taking part in the World Cup. Lionel Messi was seen once again sunbathing on a yacht off the coast of Ibiza. This is the third consecutive summer that the Argentinian player and his family have spent on the island. He even owns a hotel in Ibiza, Es Vive, which he purchased at the beginning of the summer.

Also here is Sergio Ramos. The Spanish defender met NBA player James Harden at Ushuaïa Hotel & Club where they posed for an Instagram pic. They partied at a tribute concert for DJ Avicii who died in April and had retired in August 2016 with a show at this popular Ibizan open-air club. DJ Diplo, Luis Fonsi and Gianluca Vacchi were also there.
