According to an E! insider, the group were said to be making the most of their time together whilst in Cabo.

‘Selena was right in the middle of her friends eating chips and guacamole and drinking from a big bottle of water. They all positioned their chairs in a big circle and spent the day on the rooftop laughing and gossiping.’

By night the group watched a private fireworks show as they dined on the beach together.

Joining Selena on the trip were the group of clean-living girls who have flocked to her side since she left rehab late last year.

They were led by her longtime best friend, Courtney J Barry, ahead of her upcoming nuptials to Sam Lopez.

The bride-to-be also shared some images from the exotic trip on her social media page, as did their other friends.

During sunset, the group mounted horses for a scenic stroll on the sea shore.

Selena has been all about friends since she returned to the spotlight and she even joined her ‘soul sister’ Julia Michaels’ on a new track last month.

Friendship first: ‘My best friend is getting married, so we celebrated her! Future Mrs. Lopez,’ wrote Gomez on Instagram, sharing a gallery of pictures from the beach trip

The powerful duo joined forces for the song Anxiety on Julia’s latest album Monologue Part I, with Selena singing the lyrics, ‘But all my friends, they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like. They don’t understand why I can’t sleep through the night.’

The new sounds marks the first time Gomez has released music since she sought mental health treatment late last year.

Julia’s new album Inner Monologue Part 1 was released on January 25 and also includes the song What A Time featuring Niall Horan.

While Selena is in good spirits, her ex Justin Bieber is currently struggling with a bout of depression.

Her former boyfriend, who recently married Hailey Baldwin, is undergoing counselling to help him ‘figure out his next chapter’.

Treats: The girls enjoyed various bowls of chips and guacamole and washed it down by icy cold drinks including green juices

Love: Selena also shared a series of shots on her social media cuddling up to her friends

The As Long As You Love Me hitmaker has been feeling down and tired as of late and is reportedly seeking some help to discover the ‘root issues’ that have been affecting him.

Justin had previously opened up about how becoming so famous at such a young age had a negative effect on his mental health.

He shared: ‘I started really feeling myself too much. ‘People love me, I’m the s**t,’ that’s honestly what I thought. I got very arrogant and cocky. I was wearing sunglasses inside … I found myself doing things that I was so ashamed of, being super-promiscuous and stuff, and I think I used Xanax because I was so ashamed.’

Selena and Justin dated on and off for years and last spent time together in March last year. Three months later he was hanging out with his OTHER on-off companion Hailey Baldwin, and they got engaged in June. They married in a court house ceremony in November.
