Simon – who whisks Lauren and their son Eric, five, off to the same resort for Christmas every year – looked great as he walked along the sand in knee-length shorts and later donned a life jacket.
Lauren, meanwhile, looked far younger than her 42 years in a tight one shouldered swimsuit, which showed off her toned physique.
The American beauty wore her brunette hair in a low ponytail and kept cool in a long pastel striped maxi dress, which she teamed with a silver heart necklace and pink aviators.
The couple, who have officially been together since 2013, looked in the throes of love as they held hands and laughed during the beach outing.

It comes after Simon revealed the secret to his 20lb weight loss is cutting out red meat and drinking light beer instead of regular beer.
The music mogul told The Sun: ‘You can drink this light beer but you’ve got to be sensible about quantities. I have loads more energy and feel great. All I do is avoid just red meat – white meat is fine – and I eat loads of vegetables, salads and drink this great beer.
‘The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think wow. I used to be 36 inch waist and now I’ve lost four inches. I’m really happy now.’
The family, including Lauren’s other son Adam, 14, have been soaking up the sun in Barbados, where they’re known to visit each year at Christmas.

Simon then revealed he had actually named his new diet after his son, who enjoys water and tucking into a plate of raw vegetables.
