Billie Faiers is kicking off 2018 with a very luxurious family holiday, and she’s giving her fans a serious case of wanderlust in the process!
The former TOWIE Star and her fiancé Greg Shepherd have pulled out all the stops for their first trip of the year, jet-setting off to the sun-soaked Maldives.
While the Maldives is often hailed as a honeymoon destination, the couple chose to bring their two children – Nelly, 3, and Arthur, 10 months – to make it a family trip, as well as inviting other family members including Billie’s mum Suzanne Wells.
Judging by Billie’s photos, they’re having the most amazing time – and no wonder.
For starters, they’ve opted to stay at the stunning Kuramathi Island Resort , a five-star resort offering up luxurious accommodation and amenities, including oceanfront villas and direct access to the picture-perfect white beaches and crystalline waters which the Maldives are famed for.
In fact, the breathtaking scenery has proven the perfect backdrop for the star’s holiday snaps – and she’s been giving her Instagram followers major holiday envy with photos from the family’s adventures.

It’s no wonder that Billie and Greg chose the luxury resort.
Kuramathi offers up some incredible private villas – and it seems that the couple opted for a beach villa during their stay.
These villas boast stunning ocean views, outdoor decks with sunloungers perfect for a lazy afternoon, and some of the villas even have their own jacuzzis.

Meanwhile, bedrooms have king-sized, four-poster beds and all the luxury amenities you’d expect such as flat screen TVs, air conditioning, a minibar and plenty of extra touches. Oh, and there’s an indoor day bed in case the heat gets too much and you want an afternoon nap away from the sun.
Bathrooms have all the vanities you need, a bath and shower – and some even boast outdoor rainfall showers and a sala bed.
Unsurprisingly, these don’t come cheap – Booking.com has Superior beach villas (with a jacuzzi for two) with prices from £1,110 per night – full board included.
No doubt what proved a hit with parents Billie and Greg is the family-friendly vibe which the resort offers; there’s even a kids’ club where Nelly could play should her parents want to go exploring the rest of the island.

Billie has been flaunting her enviable figure in a series of colourful bikinis as she makes the most of the beautiful beach surroundings and soaking up the sun – after all, January is an ideal time to go to the Maldives as it boast some of the best weather.
The reality TV star also melted hearts after she played with her daughter, sharing a sweet image of the pair in matching outfits having a giggle during a stroll on the beach.
“Pure happiness is laughing with you my little darling #twinning,” she captioned the touching photo.

It’s a particularly special trip for Billie, who also celebrated her 28th birthday during the trip, surrounded by close family and friends – although unfortunately sister Sam Faiers wasn’t able to make it out for the holiday.
“Birthday celebrations in the Maldives… having the best time ever in paradise,” she captioned a sweet shot of the group heading out to dinner.
They would have had ample choice of destination – the Kuramathi resort has three restaurants with buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as nine à la carte restaurants.

Earlier in the day, beach goers had their jaws to the floor when Suzanne posed for a photo during an afternoon in the sunshine.
Rocking a white Ursula Andress-style bikini, the 48-year-old showed off her incredible figure, with many fans believing it was actually Billie herself – but she quickly set them straight.
“Yes that’s my mumma #paradise #happysunday,” she captioned the image.

The compliments immediately began pouring in. “Wow I would say I hope I look like that when I’m her age but don’t even look like that now lol xx,” wrote one fan, while another added, “She looks absolutely incredible!! Xx”.
Despite it being a family trip, it seems that Billie and fiancé have managed to sneak in some time to themselves, whether heading off for a beach walk, or enjoying a date night.
