Rihanna has a swim in the rain while holidaying in her native Barbados.

RiRi can relax: The German tourist found trespassing on her beachfront villa was only an accidental “stalker.”

Police in Barbados told TMZ.com that the man who had swam up to Rihanna’s private pad on Sunday mistook it as public property â€" even though her security team was visible.

Previous reports said the unidentified man appeared to be trying to meet the 24-year-old “We Found Love” singer on purpose. He wasn't arrested.

“The guy got to within about 10 to 12 feet of where Rihanna was sitting before he was apprehended by security,” a witness told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “He looked fairly harmless but it was a little too close for comfort.”

The R&B superstar spent the weekend in her native Barbados.

On Tuesday, she tweeted a picture of herself in a Photoshopped red-and-white Christmas cap.

“Santa baby! Hurry down the chimney tonight!” she posted on Twitter. “Is it too late to be nice?”
