Just me, you and Julius the bodyguard: Beyonce and Jay are accompanied by their ever-present bodyguard Julius on their Spanish getaway

Beyonce and Jay Z were seen leaving the beach with their entourage - including her towering bodyguard Julius and another bodyguard.

The singer was dressed in a bronze and black tracksuit style two-piece and went without the towering heels she was seen in yesterday.
It was an unusually covered up look for the beach for the Single Ladies singer who arrived in the country wearing skimpy cut-off denim shorts and a tribal print T-shirt.

On Monday Beyonce cradled daughter Blue Ivy as she tentatively walked from the relative safety of the dock to the deck of her waiting boat shortly after touching down on the notorious party island.

The 19-month old infant looked ready for bed in a pair of striking pajamas as her mother kept a protective arm tucked beneath her during the steep walk.
Beyonce flew into Ibiza immediately after her performance at the 2013 Budweiser Made in America Festival in Philadelphia, where she was accompanied by husband Jay Z and younger sister Solange, who also performed.

Definitely not beach wear: Beyonce opted for these towering black heels as she made her way onto the boat on Monday 

The singer is understood to be taking a short break on the island before returning to the US as expectancy surrounding her soon to be released fifth studio album builds.

The yet to be titled long-player was recorded last year in wealthy New York suburb The Hamptons, with tracks produced by the likes of Pharrell, Justin Timberlake and The-Dream, whose previous production credits include Rihanna’s last album, Unapologetic.

 It's taken years of performing in her highest heels for Beyonce to be able to walk the plank, as it were, carry her baby and still look effortlessly 'glide-y' in these extraordinarily high Azzedine Alaia ankle boots.

We like to call this type of footwear the 'car to bar heels': wear them from your car to the safety of a bar stool. But Beyonce shows us that for her they are in fact an every day choice.
Alaia likes to keep everything he produces super exclusive, so these boots are hard to come across. However if you happen to be one of the most famous singers in the world, they are a wardrobe must-have.
Beyonce teams her Alaia's with super short denim shorts and a monochrome tee, with just sunnies and Blue Ivy as accessories.They would also work with a chic pencil skirt to toughen it up, or even with jeans.
She jetted in from America to Ibiza in this outfit, and although they don't look like the comfiest shoes to travel in, they do take this look from nice to WOW.

Following her set she was spotted warmly embracing Solange backstage dressed in the same outfit she wore to board the boat in.
The younger Knowles, 27, wore a mismatched outfit consisting of a purple floral blouse and black and white foliage patterned mini-skirt as she belted out a string of tunes, dancing and tossing her head as she did so.
While Beyonce garners attention with her racy cleavage-baring outfits, Solange's music and fashion sense reaches beyond the social mainstream into urban subculture.
The sister have always been close, and both are mothers, with Beyonce a parent to Blue Ivy and Solange to her eight-year-old son Daniel Julez.

'[Blue] and Julez are going to grow up more like sister and brother than cousins,' Solange told New York magazine about the relationship between her son and her sister's daughter with husband Jay-Z.

'Blue comes over, I babysit,' she added. 'And [Beyonce] takes Julez sometimes for the weekend.'
On Saturday night, Beyonce was the headline performer, closing down the first day of the second annual music festival.
