Earlier in the day she was seen sipping champagne with Sacha Baron Cohen's Dictactor as part of a funny spoof for the Cannes Film Festival.
But after spending the day pretending to be thrown overboard in a body bag the model took the opportunity to cool off and indulge in a spot of sunbaking.
Elisabetta showed off her slim bikini shape, and enviable curves, in a bright pink two piece.
The former girlfriend of George Clooney was seen lying on a sunlounger relaxing possibly calming down after all the excitement of the day even if it was fake.
Back in the safety of the Eden Roc Hotel in Cannes Elisabetta made the most of some down time.
Earlier in the day the 33-year-old Italian model showed off her bikini body in a hot pink two-piece as she flirted with Cohen, who was in full character as General Aladeen.
The pair laughed together, enjoying several glasses of champagne on the top deck of a luxurious yacht, with Cohen even treating Canalis to a seductive massage at one point.
And it seemed as though Canalis was enjoying her time with the Dictator, particularly when Cohen pulled aside his swimming trunks to show her what was inside.
But the courtship wasn't like any other romance, as after a short period, Cohen was seen getting tired of his new toy - dragging Canalis along the deck by her feet.
In a hilarious sequence of pictures, Canalis is seen being taken below deck, before one of Aladeen's advisors, armed with a machine gun, makes an appearance with what appears to be a black body back.
With a little help from his right hand man, Cohen's Aladeen then picked up the body bag, before throwing it over the side of the boat and into the sea.
The stunt is the latest in a series of pranks that Cohen has been completing in a bid to promote his latest comedy movie.
Earlier in the day, Cohen was seen brandishing a machine gun as he stood on the helm of a stunning boat as it pulled into the dock outside the lavish Eden Roc hotel.
The 40-year-old comedian was seen wearing a diplomatic white shirt with matching swimming trunks, as well as his bushy beard and sunglasses as he smiled for photographers.
Cohen also held a glass of champagne as he got into the festival spirit.
As he has been promoting his new movie The Dictator, Cohen has rarely been out of character for the various interviews, press conferences and premieres he has been attending.
And Cannes is no different. Cohen was later seen arriving at the city's historic Carlton Hotel, which had been decked out in full Republic of Wadiya regalia, on the back of a camel.
The actor wore a polo-style outfit and carried a riding crop as he made his way inside the hotel, flanked by two women carrying machine guns and dressed in sexy khaki outfits.
It is believed that Cohen is planning a stunt on the same scale as his Oscars prank, when he poured 'Kim Jong-il's ashes' over Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, in Cannes to promote his film.
In the movie, Cohen plays the Colonel Gaddafi-type leader who is a military dictator of the fictitious North African Republic of Wadia who hates freedom.
The film also stars Anna Faris as an organic grocery store owner and part-time political activist.
And Faris said in a recent interview that acting alongside Cohen was certainly a unique experience.
She said: 'He stays in character throughout the whole movie. And he’s revelled in making people uncomfortable.'
Faris added: 'I think that we really take pushing the envelope to a new level,” Faris said. “I don’t think there’s going to be anything like this the whole summer.'
As well as the press conference for The Dictator, the opening day of the 12-day Cannes Film Festival will see the premiere of Wes Anderson's child fantasy Moonrise Kingdom, which stars Bruce Willis and Bill Murray.
