Marisa, 28, slipped into a bikini with her group of friends on a yacht, before having a swim in the sea.

They also partied the night away at a music festival on the island.

Marisa shared snaps of her looking glammed up on fancy meals out, wearing a gorgeous black maxi dress.

The TV star also dazzled in a cream tiered frock with embroidered detail while posing for a stunning sunset snap.

She captioned it: “Heart bursting. HEN DO OR DIE.”

Last month, Marisa revealed she was engaged to her boyfriend after he popped the question.

Biopic  Back To Black  charted Amy’s rise while living in Camden,  North London , to becoming a global superstar.

And in a sweet nod to the singer  Marisa ‘s partner, West End star Jamie, chose nearby  Primrose Hill  to get down on one knee.

He shared the moment on Instagram and wrote alongside his pictures: “She said she’ll think about it!” with Marisa replying: “A weeping mess.”

Marisa first found fame as posh and seductive investment banker Yasmin in sex-fuelled  BBC  drama  Industry .

She went on to be cast in the Sam Taylor-Johnson-directed movie Back To Black last year.

But the film, also featuring  Skins  star  Jack O’Connell  as Amy’s ex -husband Blake Fielder-Civil , was hit by backlash from fans who branded it “evil and morally wrong.”

It drew criticism for “ghoulish” depictions of Amy’s drink and  drug  addiction leading up to  her death in 2011  at the age of 27.

Before finding fame Marisa was set on becoming a  human rights  lawyer, and accepted a place at  University College London  to study history.

But she turned it down in favour of a spot at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art down the road, due to her family being in the entertainment industry.

Her mum is actress  Caroline Gruber and her dad, Angelo Abela , a movie director and producer.

Speaking to  Air Mail , she said: “I think I rebelled against it because I could see it took a lot of gumption . . . and it scared me quite a bit.”

She found her big break in 2019 as Yasmin in Industry, a series about young finance graduates in a cut-throat world following the 2008 banking crash.

She said about winning the role: “Basically, everyone in their final year of drama school was auditioning for these parts.

“Because the whole premise was ‘We need these unknowns from London, and they actually should be 22-year-olds.”
