Elizabeth Hurley is currently spending time in the tropics shooting for her upcoming flick Christmas in the Caribbean but the English beauty was still stuck at home in "old Blighty" nursing a torn ankle ligament back in February. Still, that didn't stop her from enjoying a "pretend vacation," with her Instagram followers getting a throwback treat.

Read on to learn about the activities that help her stay in shape, as well as the photographs that prove they work—and don't forget to check out the 30 Top Celebrity Swimsuit Moments to become beach-ready too!

She Loves A Good Throwback

It was clear The Royals star was in a nostalgic mood and we can definitely imagine her flicking through her vacay albums before she found just the perfect pic to share with fans. "On my pretend vacation in the Maldives," she wrote alongside a photo of herself on a sunny beach with the ocean at her back.

In the image, she was clad in beach apparel from her eponymous swimwear brand, describing her outfit in the caption: "I’m wearing a Sunshine Bikini and a white, cheesecloth Beach Shirt today."

She Keeps It Real

As expected, fans flocked to the comments to compliment her "beautiful figure" and "million-dollar smile." The 57-year was also told she was "like a fine wine," an expression that regularly pops up in the comments section of her posts.

Hurley added a candid parenthesis revealing what she was really up to: "I’m wearing ten layers of fleece in my real life, in Herefordshire 😉." Still, that didn't deter her admirers from piling on the praise about her ageless beauty.

She Teases Fans

This came about a week after the Bedazzled star teased fans with a swimming pool shot of herself and a flamingo floatie. In the image, she wore a hot-pink bikini with chain details and straddled the edge of the pool.

"Yes, I could be in a swimming pool with a pink flamingo….. or I could be snuggled up with my doggies in Blighty, eating a Terry’s chocolate orange and about to watch the final season of Ozark….. you decide," she wrote in the caption, tagging her swimsuit brand.

She Shrugs Off Aging

Often grabbing headlines with her age-defying physique, the former model seems to have discovered the fountain of eternal youth. In reality, she's just too busy to think about aging, telling People in 2015: “If you’ve got time to think about aging then you’re not busy enough."

Hurley further explained her philosophy: "Being busy and interested is the key to being attractive. Narcissistic bores who stare at themselves in the mirror for hours are the dullest people on Earth.”

She Keeps A Healthy Balance

One thing's for certain: at 57, Hurley is fitness goals for anyone looking to stay in shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Queried about the secret to her amazing figure back in 2014, the actress told Healthy Living: "I try to live as healthy a life as possible. I try to watch my weight, eat healthily and stay active." Not much has changed since then, with the Austin Powers star revealing in recent interviews that she's taken up gardening to keep lean and toned and prefers to do housework rather than grind away at the gym.

Hurley is definitely a poster child for healthy aging, as so much of her life philosophy lines up with the concept. "The key to healthy aging is a healthy lifestyle," explains the Mayo Clinic. "Eating a variety of nutritious foods, practicing portion control and including physical activity in your daily routine can go a long way toward promoting healthy aging."
