Reality television personality Luisa Zissman has been soaking up the winter sun on a luxurious holiday in the Maldives, sharing a series of stunning bikini snaps with her followers. The 38-year-old star of The Apprentice appeared in high spirits as she enjoyed the final days of her tropical break alongside her mother, Christina, this past Sunday.
A Sun-Drenched Farewell Before a Major Life Change
The idyllic holiday serves as a final respite before what Zissman describes as a 'manic' permanent relocation. She is moving her family from the UK to Dubai, a decision she has openly linked to growing tired of British weather and concerns over crime rates. The mother-of-three showcased her toned physique in a vibrant yellow two-piece during a beach outing with her mother, whom she affectionately calls Hilda.
She also modelled a stylish lemon-print bikini in blue and yellow, complete with a matching cover-up, while strolling along the pristine sand. Captioning her holiday memories, Zissman wrote: 'Maldives. always. Amazing week relaxing now for Christmas chaos in Dubai'.
Inside the Complex Family Move to the UAE
The logistics of the move are substantial. Zissman is relocating with two of her three children to join her Irish millionaire husband, Andrew Collins, who has already moved to the United Arab Emirates. Her eldest daughter, 15-year-old Dixie from her previous marriage to Oliver Zissman, will remain at her UK boarding school to complete her education.
In a detailed social media post, Zissman revealed the scale of the operation, stating: 'It's been manic navigating our move to Dubai, kids schools, moving 5 horses (the most stressful part!), packing boxes & shipping them, arranging visas for our lovely nanny's both are relocating with us!'. The family will be bringing two nannies and their five pet horses to their new home.
Career Commitments and Celebrity Neighbours
Zissman has reassured fans that her popular podcast, LuAnna, which she co-hosts with Anna Williamson, will continue despite the move. She confirmed she has flights booked to record the show in person until at least September and plans to keep flying back regularly. 'I just felt like block booking,' she explained on a recent episode.
She also expressed excitement about becoming neighbours with fellow UK expatriates Kate and Rio Ferdinand, who made a similar move to Dubai earlier this year. The Zissman-Collins family will be settling into a significant new property, leaving behind a UK home that boasts ten bedrooms and 2.8 acres of grounds, which employed a staff of fifteen.
As she wraps up her Maldives relaxation, Luisa Zissman is poised to begin a major new chapter, firmly believing the shift to Dubai means 'everything is better,' from finances to lifestyle, as she bids 'Over & Out' to England.
