She’s recently wrapped filming a gritty role as a pregnant teenager in low budget movie Gimme Shelter.
So it was clearly a good moment for Vanessa Hudgens to take some valuable time out to unwind on holiday in Hawaii.
The 22-year-old star looked happy and relaxed as she stepped out in a patterned bikini top and short grey shorts on the tropical island of Maui last week.

Wearing a pair ofΒ flip flops, the star went scuba diving and boating in the popular holiday destination where she is said to be attending a yoga retreat.
Sources say ‘she has been working out, eating healthy and relaxing and seems very at peace and happy.’
The day out also saw her energetically feeding birds by hand as her boat pulled into the dock.

The star’s hair also looks to have grown after she cropped it short for the Gimme Shelter role, resembling a chin length bob rather than her more severe ‘soccer mom’ crop.
‘Oh man, it’s really intense, I’m still getting used to it,’ she told Access Hollywood about the hair style.
‘Honestly, I kind of feel a bit like a soccer mom, but we’re going to let that go.
‘There’s nothing wrong with soccer moms, but I’m only 22! I miss my hair believe me, I do. But there’s nothing I can do about it.’
