The Penrith Panthers superstar, 27, and his Matildas girlfriend, 21, uploaded a carousel of images to Instagram on Sunday, where they looked every inch the loved-up couple.
The genetically blessed duo took advantage of their picturesque surrounds by enjoying a hike up to Dolphin Point lookout, the most northern point of the island.
Nathan appeared to be enjoying the balmy weather, as his share contained several shirtless pictures of the NRL star making the most of their tropical getaway.
One frame saw Nathan hiking in the wilderness, while in others he looked every inch the model as he posed against a breathtaking sunset.
He even managed to enjoy some downtime in a hammock and lounging in a white singlet and designer shades.

Mary, who has been back in Australia the past week, during her break from Manchester City duties, captioned the post: 'The cute holiday pics he took'.
Nathan recently revealed that he's interested in settling down and starting a family with Mary.
But he also explained the struggles of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
Fresh from spearheading Penrith to their fourth consecutive premiership title, Cleary and Fowler spent a few weeks together after this year's NRL grand final.
He had jetted over to be with her in England and followed her to Switzerland to see her play for the Matildas.
Their relationship appeared to step up a notch when Cleary was photographed holding Matildas star Katrina Gorry's daughter Harper as he watched the Aussies take on Germany.
It was the first time he's been pictured spending time with his partner's closest mates.

Cleary had to return home in November in order to have shoulder surgery in time to be fully healthy for the start of the NRL season on March 1 next year.
But he and Fowler have both been busy posting shots of each other on social media as they keep their long-distance relationship alive.
However, Cleary has admitted that the distance between them is taking a toll.
'It's been tough, it's definitely not something that I ever thought I'd do,' he told the Keegan and Company podcast.
'I think it sort of helped for us that as soon as we met each other, and we sort of got talking, we knew it was going to lead down to that path and if we wanted to do it, it was going to be long distance.
'Sometimes you just get home and you want a little cuddle, but I think it's helped us in a way to connect on more than just (on) a physical level and actually have genuine conversations.
'We just navigate around it and when we do see each other, it's the best thing ever. You are really grateful for those moments we get to spend together' he added.
'We're constantly talking on FaceTime or whatever and we sort of find our way through that.'

The Panthers playmaker said that both he and Fowler have spoken about having children, but arrangements currently aren't ideal for a family.
'It's obviously tough that we are both pretty stuck into our sport,' he said.
'Definitely want to (have kids) in the future. I'd love for it to be with Mary, I just think she'll be the best mother.
'But yeah, we'll see. It's not a rush at the moment but definitely in the future … post footy, I would love to have a little family of my own.'
Cleary said a key to their relationship is that they both understand each other's worlds.
'It is and she definitely understands' Nathan explained.
'People look at us and think that we are talking about our sport all the time but sometimes it's just nice to just sit there as two human beings and enjoy each other's company and talk about something other than sport,' he continued.
'I think probably for both of us, a lot of people want to talk about sport all the time' he added.
'And I think when we're together we just enjoy each other's company but it's always that support and trust that if something is going wrong we can talk to each other about it and sort of bounce ideas off each other, it's been really nice.'
