Cedric Soares and wife Filipa are enjoying a luxury break at this £3,500 a night villa which features a slide from the room into the oceanCedric and wife Filipa have been keeping their followers up to date on social media

Cedric was not picked by Portugal for Euro 2020 and instead jetted off to paradise

The villa features two pools, a whirlpool, sauna, private beach and bar

The former Southampton right-back sits behind Joao Cancelo and Nelson Semedo in the pecking order.

But 34-cap international Soares has softened the blow of his snub.

Instead of grinding on the training pitch, the Gunners star has instead jetted off to enjoy a little slice of paradise with his wife in a luxury, ‘floating’ villa.

The pricey pad comes kitted out with a huge water slide connecting their room to the glittering, crystal clear, green-blue sea.

It also boasts a private beach, whirlpool, sauna, bar and two swimming pools – one indoors and one outside on the sun-drenched terrace.

Cedric and Filipa also took advantage of the sea hammocks, enjoying an afternoon laze by the ocean.

The luxury resort – with villas costing £3,500 per night – also features an outdoor cinema and telescope viewing point to stare at the stars, as well as a host of restaurants.

But Filipa was clearly enjoying the holiday, as she shared a short video of herself soaking up the sun in a bikini captioned: “Good morning, paradise.”

For the loved-up couple it appeared to be a short break away from their daughter Siena.

Cedric and Filipa welcomed their first child to the world earlier this season, in November, following a secret pregnancy.

On announcing the surprise news, the Arsenal ace posted a photo of himself on social media cradling his Siena in his arms alongside the word ‘Blessed’ and heart emojis.

Filipa posted her own snaps of the new-born, writing: “Siena. Love is our true destiny.

“We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone, we find it with another.”
