Inside Alisha Lehmann’s winter Maldives break with best pal Amira Arfaoui, from playing beach football to bikini photos
WHAT a way to spend the Christmas period.
Stunning women’s footballer Alisha Lehmann jetted off to the Maldives, where she has been sunning her amazing bikini body.
The Swiss forward, 25, was joined by her best pal and international team-mate, Amira Arfaoui.
But, there was no sign of boyfriend Douglas Luiz who has had to stay in Turin and play for Juventus during the festive holidays.
However, Lehmann was able to take advantage of the Serie A Femminile winter break to let her hair down.
And she’s even managed to keep herself match-fit by playing a bit of beach football.
SunSport takes a look inside Lehmann’s dream getaway to a ‘lost island’.
Staying active
Holidays are, essentially, for letting your hair down.
But when you’re a super-fit athlete like Alisha, there’s absolutely no reason for downtime.
She’s made full use of the facilities available at her Maldives resort.
Making sure they don’t lose their touch, Alisha and bestie Arfaoui, who plays for Werder Bremen, enjoyed a kickabout on the beach in their modified training session.
Both women showed off their skills by performing kick-ups.
While Alisha enjoyed showing off her dribbling talents as she bamboozled Arfaoui on the sand.
Alisha captioned a video on social media: “POV: Celebrating so many years of friendship on a lost island.”
The Blonde beauty also took to her Instagram stories to share a picture of some tennis balls and padel rackets, as she and Arfaoui continued to enjoy their time away.
And when they weren’t on the beach, the pair took some bicycles out to cycle around the island, which Arfaoui shared a clip of.

Showing off her amazing bikini body
Alisha is no stranger to flaunting her incredible curves in revealing swimwear.
And with current temperatures in the Maldives at 27 degrees, the Juventus Women’s star has been eager to show off her range of bikinis.
In one snap, which sees Alisha beaming for the camera, she is wearing a black and white ensemble – matched with a Santa hat – in fitting with the season.
In another series of photos, we see her in a gorgeous pink bikini – performing a number of poses.
From looking into the horizon to letting the sea touch her toes, Alisha appears perfectly relaxed.
Her mate Arfaoui looks equally as chilled – resting against a palm tree while taking a selfie.
Glam look
Noticeably missing from her Maldives getaway was boyfriend, Douglas Luiz.
Unlike Alisha, the Brazilian midfielder didn’t get a winter break this year.
He has been in action for his club, Juventus – who drew with Fiorentina 2-2 over the weekend.
They did spend Christmas Day together – sharing a romantic snap in front of their tree in the home in Northern Italy.
The loved-up duo wore matching pyjamas as they posed for pictures with a number of presents behind them.
Despite being without her beau in the Maldives, Alisha has enjoyed dressing up.
In one outfit, she can be seen wearing a figure-hugging black dress – complete with pink ribbons.
She certainly looks like she’s having the time of her life.
