Flashing her busty cleavage and taut abs, the former PINK ambassador sizzled in the revealing red bikini while taking a well-deserved break from her busy schedule.
The brunette beauty's soaked mane fell against her back as she walked through the large body of water, diving into the sea from a nearby jetty.
Wearing delicate jewellery, Alessandra's eyes were hid behind circle-framed sunglasses, adorned with gold rims, though her flawless complexion remained on full display.

After more than a decade with Victoria’s Secret, the legendary angel shed her wings this year, walking her final show in Shanghai on November 20 in Shanghai — the company’s first show in China in its 22 year history.
Alessandra explained to Entertainment Tonight backstage why she was ending her nearly 20-year career with the lingerie powerhouse, saying: ‘Victoria’s Secret is my family, but you know it’s time to move on. Momma is tired.'
The supermodel and her daughter Anja are now busy being the new faces of the Jordache brand—a clothing company whose popularity spiked in the late 1970s.

New ventures: Alessandra recently revealed her reasoning behind leaving the Victoria's Secret brand, telling Entertainment Tonight: 'Victoria’s Secret is my family, but you know it’s time to move on. Momma is tired!'
The pretty brunette recently opened up about how becoming a mother has changed her physique, as well as her views on modelling in skimpy lingerie.
Speaking to Net-A-Porter last year, she said: 'I used to be 100% comfortable on lingerie shoots - then I had a child.
'Somehow it felt a bit weirder to be in lingerie once I was a mum.
'Your body will never go back to exactly what it was before pregnancy, whatever people tell you. It can't.'
However she went on to admit that having children has only made her more confident with her appearance, as it gave her body a higher purpose in life.
