Penélope Cruz – Post-Filming Enjoyment in Maldives Splendor

Penélope Cruz rewarded herself with the sun-kissed serenity of the Maldives in 2010, fresh off the set of “Parallel Mothers.” She celebrated her latest cinematic triumph amidst the whispering waves and soft sands. Spain’s gift to the silver screen, Penélope, has been stealing scenes since her magnetic performance in “Jamon Jamon.”

Her leap to Hollywood fame was sealed with an Academy Award for her role in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” Far from the director’s call, she indulged in the art of relaxation in the Maldives. For a spell, the island’s turquoise embrace was her exclusive retreat, a far cry from the grand stages of film where she so naturally shines.
