The actress traded Hollywood's spotlight for a luxury getaway in Mexico, complete with yacht excursions, spa days, and a celebration with close friends.
Tracee Ellis Ross had more than one reason to celebrate this birthday.
Fresh off her first Emmy win for Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross, the actress headed to Los Cabos, Mexico, to celebrate her 54th birthday with close friends, including actress, writer, and producer Issa Rae.
And judging by the photos, the birthday festivities were just as much about friendship and fun as they were about luxury.

Ross and her guests stayed at Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, a beachfront resort overlooking the Sea of Cortez. The group settled into the Grand Reserve Villa, a two-story, five-bedroom retreat featuring a private pool, expansive terraces, and ocean views.
Good Friends, Good Food, and a Little Yacht Life
The celebration included plenty of poolside relaxation, fresh seafood, and time spent enjoying Cabo's coastal scenery.
One of the highlights was a private yacht excursion, where the group enjoyed lunch prepared by an onboard chef. Issa Rae reportedly brought some extra entertainment to the outing, rapping aboard the yacht before enjoying the water with a cocktail in hand.
Ross also shared moments from the getaway on Instagram, bringing her familiar sense of humor to everything from her first dip in the villa's pool to her post-spa hair reveal.

The birthday festivities continued with dinners featuring Baja-inspired seafood, cocktails, and an evening of stargazing beneath the Mexican sky.
A Birthday Worth Celebrating
For Ross, the trip came during an especially memorable chapter in her career.
After years of acclaimed performances and a career spanning television, film, and fashion, her first Emmy win added another milestone to an already impressive résumé.
And while Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross celebrates the freedom of exploring the world independently, this particular getaway was about sharing the moment with the people closest to her.
Sometimes the best way to celebrate a major accomplishment is to get away from the spotlight and enjoy the company of good friends.
