Many SI Swimsuit models chilled in their favorite places (by the water) in their favorite looks (itty-bitty bikinis) this week. And, our Instagram feed really heated up. From poolside posing to vacation thirst traps and catching a tan in the sand, these women started the year off with some R&R and certainly brought out their best swimwear.

Here’s a recap of some of our favorite content from current and former SI Swimsuit models. Caution: don’t read if you’re susceptible to purchasing plane tickets on a whim, because these photos are guaranteed to make you want to escape to a tropical paradise.
