Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos have gone on a vacation of a lifetime this week.

The power couple dressed casually as they were spotted barefoot on the beach on one of the Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago off the coast of Ecuador.

Sanchez, 56, wore a white bra top and matching miniskirt as her 62-year-old spouse was dressed in a black T-shirt and blue swim trunks. 

They have been staying on their $500 million yacht, which also has a helicopter pad and a $100 million support vessel, Abeona.

Vacationing in the Galapagos is a complex ethical issue, as it can both harm and benefit the delicate environment.

That is because tourism provides essential funds for conservation but having so many people on the islands impacts ecosystems due to waste management.

The Galapagos Islands are known for their diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else in the world. 

Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos in 1835, and his observation of the species on the islands later inspired his theory of evolution. 

The islands have unique wildlife, including swimming iguanas, blue-footed birds called boobies and giant tortoises.

Last week, Sanchez made headlines when she said she would have a child with Bezos 'tomorrow.'

She made the surprising admission during a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times that was published on Sunday.

'I would have a baby tomorrow,' she declared. Her spokesman later had to phone the newspaper to confirm she is not pregnant.

Sanchez, whose husband is one of the richest men in the world, also said she believes she is 20 percent happier than the average person.

But she says her permanent good mood has nothing to do with her extreme wealth.

'If baseline is here,' she said, holding her hand at about her chest, 'I'm up here,' she said, with her other hand above her head.

Sanchez has three children from two previous relationships. They are Nikko Gonzalez, 25, Evan Whitesell, 19, and Ella Whitesell, 18. She and Bezos married in a three-day extravaganza in Venice, Italy, last summer.

Since then, she says the pair have transformed into a 'unit.'

The wide-ranging interview also dealt with Sanchez's daily life in the upscale private Miami island Indian Creek, which is often referred to as 'Billionaire Bunker.' 

They do everything together, she said, as they start their day at 6am by listing aloud ten things they are grateful for, then working out with a trainer before going about their business.

From there, Sanchez said she and her husband drink their morning coffee in a sunroom - hers from a mug that reads 'Woke Up Sexy As Hell Again,' and his from a mug she got him that spells 'HUNK' in symbols from the periodic table - as they watch the sunrise. 

The couple then go on to play pickleball, and six days a week, they also work out for an hour with a personal trainer.

With everything they do, Sanchez said, they do it together.

'I talk about everything with him,' she said of her husband. 'Everything! Jeff is my best friend and I don't say that lightly.'

She relies on his advice for nearly everything, including when she published her second children's book, The Fly Who Flew Under the Sea, about Flynn, a dyslexic fly whose wrong turn leads to an undersea adventure.

Bezos edited the book, suggesting a change to the illustrated submarine on the cover, advice Sanchez said she decided to take.

'He said it should be fantastical, not realistic,' she said. 'Sometimes I listen. Sometimes I don't.'

Sanchez was last seen in Los Angeles with her friends.

The children's book author was dressed down in a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a $550 Saint Laurent baseball cap with a Chanel purse for dinner at celebrity hotspot Sushi Park.

Missing from the action was Sanchez's husband, Bezos.

They were last photographed together last month when they attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in Beverly Hills following the 2026 awards ceremony.
