Emerging from the warm Mediterranean sea, Sylvie showed just why she is a top Dutch model as she revealed her toned abs and slender legs.
Her long blonde hair was slicked off her face creating a sexy look and she wore a pair of modern aviator style sunglasses.
Earlier in the week she was seen soaking up the sun with her son Damián, eight, who looked delighted to be on holiday.

Sylvie’s marriage to former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rafael van der Vaart after he reportedly walked out on her because she couldn’t conceive after undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
The pretty blonde suggested to German newspaper Bild that the Hamburger SV footballer left her after she learned it was unlikely she would be able to give him a second child.
Referring to news that Rafael is now expecting a baby with girlfriend Sabia Boulahrouz, Sylvie told German newspaper Bild: 'Rafael got a different wife back afterwards when the chemotherapy was finished with. I wasn't any more a person without a care in the world, and the same innocent girl I was before.

'I knew for years how big his desire was to have children. I guess it's good that Rafael is now getting the child that I couldn't give him thanks to my cancer diagnosis.'
Sylvie acknowledged that the breakdown of their marriage was destroyed by a few contributing issues, including cancer and the geography of work commitments.
She said: 'My relationship with Rafael was destroyed by a number of factors. It was something that happened slowly over a period of time and it wasn't anything that it was possible to stop.'
Sylvie married the international footballer in 2005, but to add insult to injury it was confirmed only four months after the split he had started dating Sabia - Sylvie's former best friend and the ex-wife of his Hamburg team mate Khalid Boulahrouz.
The couple announced they were expecting a child together in October.
