Maya Jama has spoken of the joys of solo traveling and the need to "listen to your body" in a new social media message. Posting to Instagram, Maya shared holidays snaps of herself enjoying the sun and pool against a gorgeous Thai backdrop, while sharing the importance of self-care and peace.
It certainly has been a busy period for Maya Jama, who is from Bristol. Before fending off rumours she was dating Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, Maya hosted her first ever series of Love Island in South Africa to shoot the popular matchmaking ITV show. The TV host is also lined up to present the upcoming summer series of Love Island, though an airdate has yet to be announced.
It may not be surprising, then, to see Maya jet off to picturesque Thailand for a relaxing spa retreat to "shut off and realign" before her workload begins again, as the star hints at more "madness" to come.

Maya shared photos of herself enjoying the sun, swimming gently in a huge pool, and cycling past lusciously green plants, before enjoying a view across a blue lack. Posting the clips to Instagram, Maya wrote: "The loveliest week with no badness. Just beautiful weather, healthy stuff, bare skin, meditation and massage. I needed this more than I knew, as someone who loves to double dip (work and party) and has done successfully for years.
"I’ve never been good at listening to when my body needs a break because I suppose it’s got used to functioning on little sleep and junk food etc but I know you can only ride a certain wave for so long until it starts to mash you up without looking after yourself. I’ve travelled alone a couple of times in the past and loved it & I’m a very social human day to day but it’s always nice just spending time with myself every now n then to shut off and re align and one thing I’ve been saying for the longest is I need more balance."
"I'm all or nothing with most things in life but adding more healthy-look-after-your-insides stuff never really hit the top of my list until now. So when I had this final week off before the workload begins again I was fortunate to be able to go away an zen and now I feel all new and fresh inside ready for the madness."
Fans were overjoyed to see Maya seeming to take care of herself, with one commenting: "This is growth! And it looks good on you! [][]me time is priceless! []"
Another fan said: "Love this for you," while comedian Judi Love wrote: "So glad you’ve had this time to yourself xx"
