Ivanka Trump Rides the Waves in Costa Rica for Spring Break Family Getaway

Ivanka Trump traded boardrooms for surfboards this spring as she celebrated Easter and Passover with her extended family on the sun-drenched beaches of Costa Rica. The former White House advisor took to social media to share snapshots of her catching waves and soaking up the country's raw natural beauty, joined by husband Jared Kushner, brother-in-law Joshua Kushner, and model Karlie Kloss.

Ivanka described the trip as a "gift beyond words," reflecting on slow days spent surfing under golden skies, ziplining through jungle canopies, diving into waterfalls, and, yes, actually finding time to read a book until sunset. In her own words, it was a week dedicated to "reconnecting – with the Earth, with faith, and with one another." For those keeping score, that's a lot more zen than most of us get from family vacations.

Back in Miami now, Ivanka says her heart is "full of gratitude" and hints at some new projects on the horizon. She also makes it clear she's ready to get back to work, promising fans exciting news soon. Looks like those Costa Rican sunsets may have fueled more than just her tan.

Ivanka, daughter of former President Donald Trump, reminisced on her years as a senior advisor in the White House, describing the presidency as "the world's loneliest position." She touched on the pressure of constant pitches from friends and colleagues, and how even the closest relationships can feel transactional when you're sitting at the top. Now, with some distance from D.C., she says she's looking forward to being there for her father in a more personal way—think movie nights and casual hangouts instead of cabinet meetings and policy briefings.

Trump shares Ivanka with his late ex-wife Ivana Trump, and also has sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, daughter Tiffany Trump with his second ex-wife Marla Maples, and son Barron Trump with his current wife Melania Trump. So, family reunions must be quite the RSVP situation.
