Halle Berry's currently enjoying a sun-filled getaway in Mallorca, Spain.
The star has been snapped enjoying a luxury break with daughter Nahla, and boyfriend of one year, Oivier Martinez.
After enjoying lunch at an eaterie in Palma - where Nahla kept herself entertained with a pink teddy keycahin toy - mum and daughter browsed a nearby market before meeting up with the French actor.
Halle looked holiday-casual in a black vest and denim shorts combo, while little Nahla was showing off an early stylish streak in a pink and grey tie-dye dress.
