She is currently busy promoting her new movie The Frozen Ground at the 2013 Ischia Global Film And Music Festival in Italy.
But Vanessa Hudgens indulged in some down time on Friday.
The 24-year-old was seen mediating on a speed boat as she took to the high seas.

Lined up with two other bikini-clad friends, Vanessa showed off her toned figure in a black bikini.
Taking some long deep breaths, the Spring Breakers looked zen as she crossed her legs and centred herself.
While the two other women closed their eyes, Vanessa took in the sights around her.

With her long brunette hair out tumbling around her shoulders, she looked every inch the bikini babe.
The starlet also accentuated her trim tummy even further by donning a gold body chain that wrapped around her torso.
Vanessa was also joined by director Eli Roth on the boat ride.
Before they left the port, the pair were seen chatting as they sat on the edge of the water craft.

Vanessa and Eli were joined by several other women and a muscular tattooed man who were also enjoying soaking up the sun.
Vanessa and the Hostel film maker seemed to be enjoying one another's company.
In recent times, Eli had been dating a brunette beauty while Vanessa is in a relationship with Austin Butler, but the usually smitten pair have not been spotted together for some time.
Eli certainly appears to have enjoyed himself at the film festival so far.

Before her boat ride, Vanessa greeted her fans outside of her hotel.
Taking some time out: Vanessa was enjoying some down time whilst promoting her new movie
The 24-year-old was leggy in a flirty floral mini dress that displayed her hard earned figure, a result of endless Pilates classes.
But Vanessa nearly showed off more than she bargained for when a gust of wind picked up the skirt of her ensemble.
The actess had somewhat of a Marilyn moment when the garmet blew up into the air, forcing her to smooth it down with her hands.

After signing numerous autographs and even letting some lucky fans give her a peck on the cheek, Vanessa was off again.

Vanessa was effortless for the outing, wearing her brunette locks bundled atop her head and barely any make-up on her complexion.

Her co-star Nicolas Cage is also being honoured as a film Legend by the festival, on Saturday.
The two have been making the international rounds as they attended the red carpet première for the drama in London just the night before.
Vanessa has admitted she was so far removed from her role as a prostitute in The Frozen Ground, that she didn't even recognise herself in the gritty role.
Looking good: Vanessa looked pretty in her patterned sundress paired with black leather sandals
Lucky gal: Vanessa let one lucky fan give her a peck on the cheek
Vanessa told Nick Grimshaw on his BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show: 'There were so many different crazy situations I had to put myself in.
'But honestly a good stare into the mirror, would do me some justice because I didn't look like myself at all. Just remind myself who I was playing and just making it real.'
The Spring Breakers star also said while she loved acting in the crime thriller, she can't cope with horror films.
Flawless: Vanessa was effortless for the outing, wearing her brunette locks bundled atop her head and barely any make-up on her complexion
'I cannot watch scary movies,' Vanessa said. 'I can't do it. Frozen Ground is good because it's like a thriller. It gets into your head. But ghosts and things that just pop up and scream at you, I can't do.
'Because it's based on a true story, these events actually happened. My character is based on a real person.
'So there is definitely a weight that comes along with that. We shot in some of the real places that the events took place in.

'So there is an energy that resonates and it's kind of heavy. It's fun. I love playing different characters. My cast was amazing. Nic Cage was incredible. John Cusack's terrifying. It's good stuff.'
The Frozen Ground documents the tale of an Alaska State Trooper (Cage) who partners with a young woman (Vanessa), who escaped the clutches of serial killer Robert Hansen to bring the murderer to justice.
The film opens in wide release on July 19.
