Far from the madness of Los Angeles and the looming court case over the Chris Brown incident, Rihanna chilled in Kahala with pals for several days, including Mother's Day.
She hit the beach with a girlfriend while two bodyguards kept an eye on the situation. Then Rihanna headed to the pool bar for a tropical drink. As she and friends discussed which drink to try a male fan approached and asked if he and his girlfriend could take a photo with her. One of the bodyguards tried to get rid of him, but Rihanna intervened and graciously agreed to the photo.
One eyewitness told RadarOnline.com: "She looked fantastic! Perfect face and a cute little body. She didn't really talk to other guests, but was chatting with a girlfriend most of the time."
The singer stayed at an exclusive resort just outside of Waikiki and after a day of fun and sun at the beach and in the pool looked completely rested.
