Normani marked her latest lap around the sun with a luxury beach getaway.

To celebrate her 26th birthday on May 31, the "Wild Side" performer took a trip to the glamorous One&Only Palmilla resort in Los Cabos, Mexico — and shared photos to Instagram of herself lounging in an eye-catching gold bikini to prove it.

"just feeling sooooo grateful today 🥺," the former Fifth Harmony member wrote alongside images featuring her in several picturesque outdoor locations, from an outdoor bed cabana to a yacht.

Normani boasts confidence in the birthday shots, but on her latest single "Fair," released in March, she opened up about more "vulnerable" moments.

"Is it fair that you've moved on / 'Cause I swear that I haven't," she sings of heartbreak during the chorus. "Is it right that you've grown? / And I'm still stuck in habits."

"This song really captures me in one of my most vulnerable moments. Sharing this record makes me uncomfortable because you have never really seen me in this light," Normani said of the song. "Definitely aware that you might feel like you don't know much about me but that's only because it's what makes me feel protected."

She continued, "I am really forcing myself to let go here. This is huge for me and hopefully, this piece of art resonates. Love is beautiful yet so soooo terrifying 🖤 I adore you guys to the moon and back."
