Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, a 2023 SI Swimsuit rookie, appears to be enjoying a well-deserved vacation in Ibiza, and the workout and wellness leader is sharing tons of enviable content on Instagram from abroad.

On July 27, the MWH founder posted a clip of herself lounging on a pool wall in a strappy bikini. She arched her back and shielded her eyes with a sun hat as the bright sky hung above her and she appeared to be floating on water.

“This place puts me in my feels 🫶🏼,” Wood-Tepperberg wrote in her caption. She aptly soundtracked the video to “The Feels” by Labrinth.

"I’m just here applauding myself for this artistic masterpiece that [I] captured 🔥🙌🏼😂!!” friend and videographer Kim Strother quipped in the comments.

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” two-time SI Swimsuit star Georgina Burke added with emojis.

“You are the feels sis 😍,” added Swim Search finalist Sharina Gutierrez.

“Summer Sculpt shoot next year in Ibiza? 🙏🏻,” one fan inquired of the certified yoga and Pilates instructor’s fitness platform.

“Stunning backdrop.. stunning YOU, Melissa!✨,” another follower noted.

Wood-Tepperberg, a 40-year-old mom of two, was photographed by Yu Tsai in Dominica for the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue.
