Olivier Martinez showed Halle Berry's adorable daughter some tender care during a beach outing on Monday.

The actor spent some quality time with the five-year-old and even carried her toy beach bucket and shovels as they enjoyed some fun one-on-one time in Maui.

The trio have been vacationing on the Hawaiian island for several days, and today Olivier gladly took over parenting duties and treated Nahla to playtime on the beach one last time before they headed home to Los Angeles.

Doting: Olivier Martinez was ever the doting father figure as he played with Nahla on the Maui beach

The French actor, 47, clearly adores the little girl and her every wish was granted as they kicked up the sand with their bare feet.

Olivier carried Nahla's green and blue beach toys as he followed the child along the shore and even helped her clean the wet sand off her purple flip flops.

The heartthrob was Nahla's hero as he held her hand and, at one point, gave her a big hug.

Olivier was casually dressed in cuffed jeans and red print shirt, while Nahla looked cute in white shorts and blue top with her curly hair in a high ponytail.

On Easter Sunday Halle, 46, and Nahla got to enjoy a stroll around the lush grounds of their resort together.

The mother and daughter eventually met up Olivier for lunch in an outdoor cafe and afterwards visited some rainbow-hued macaws.

Home sweet home: Halle and Olivier returned to Los Angeles on Monday afternoon and Nahla's good humour was starting to wear thin

Olivier had a blast and amazingly got three of the large tropical birds to perch on his head and shoulders.

The vacation seems to have relaxed Halle and put her in a marvelous mood.

The group returned to Los Angeles on Monday afternoon and Olivier carried a sleepy Nahla inside while Halle toted Nahla's doll.

The actress, who has been in a bitter custody battle with Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry, was prevented by the court from taking her daughter to live in France with Olivier.

Halle has scrapped those plans for the time being, telling Hello! magazine, 'It probably won't be until my daughter is 18 and off to college.

'When Nahla turns 18, she'll be legally able to make her own decisions about where she wants to be and I think that then, when she's off on her own, we'll move there. It's where I want to end my days, that's for sure.'

Time for a nap: Olivier no doubt deposited the sleepy girl on her pillow right away

Back home: Halle, Olivier and Nahla arrived back in Los Angeles on Monday night

She had been proudly showing off her baby bump in an array of figure-hugging ensembles during a recent promotional trip to Brazil.

But pregnant Halle Berry seems to like her casual maternity wear more loose and comfortable.

The expecting mother-of-one hid her growing baby bump in a billowing knit top as she arrived at LAX to catch a flight on Thursday.

The 46-year-old actress wore the attire over a fitted black vest and teamed it with faded jeans and her favourite pair of Chloe gold studded ankle boots.

Her look was completed by a black fedora hat and she held a khaki wool jacket in front of her tummy, indicating she was travelling to cooler climes.

The glowing mother-to-be beamed as she made her way through the terminal.

Her growing belly could only be slightly seen side on.

Ever since she announced her pregnancy earlier this month, Halle has been seen travelling extensively to promote her new movie The Call.

She only just returned to LA from a glam trip to Rio de Janeiro for the premiere of the thriller.

On Wednesday, Halle resumed her mommy duties as she dropped off her daughter Nahla at daycare in Los Angeles.

The Oscar winner once again covered her growing baby bump in a lavender jumper and cosy grey scarf.

The Monster's Ball actress topped her pixie cut with a brown trilby hat and hid her make-up free face under large sunglasses.

Her adorable five-year-old wore her brown curls in pigtails and matched her famous mother in a purple jumper.

And while Halle carried the youngster's Hello Kitty lunchbox, little Nahla appeared to be daydreaming as she wielded her blue wand with streamers over some nearby foliage.

Not seen was the two father figures in Nahla's life - Halle's ex-partner Gabriel Aubry and Halle's fiancé Olivier Martinez.

Halle and the French-Canadian model came to a custody agreement last November preventing her move to France.

Meanwhile she's expecting her second child with 47-year-old Olivier after a three-year engagement.

In a recent interview with CNN's Alina Cho, the Cloud Atlas actress said she did not know if she was having boy, despite what other media outlets have reported.

'I feel fantastic. This has been the biggest surprise of my life to tell you the truth,' Halle told CNN earlier this month.

'I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful.'

Her Frenchman beau has been hard at work on two period films - the romantic drama Deauville with Isabella Rossellini and the adventure drama The Physician with Ben Kingsley.

Last week, Halle dazzled in a lacy black cut-out maternity gown at the South American premiere at the Copacabana Palace Hotel.

Movie star: Halle can currently can be seen in the Brad Anderson thriller The Call alongside Abigail Breslin, which hit theaters last month

HALLE Berry and Olivier Martinez have decided to get married now they’re expecting their first child together.
The pair will apparently have a shotgun wedding!
“Halle’s going to have a shotgun wedding,” a source said.
“Olivier has never been particularly traditional in the past, but something about becoming a father has changed him.
“Since becoming a mom, Halle now knows what she needs and wants in a man.
“Olivier ticks all those boxes, and she’s looking forward to walking down the aisle with a big baby bump.”
Halle, 46, and Olivier, 47, have been dating since 2010. They’re hoping to tie the knot in a small chapel in the artists quarter of Paris.
“Olivier has wanted to leave Los Angeles for some time,” said the insider. “The only reason he’s stayed here was for Halle’s sake.
“Now that she’s pregnant, he doesn’t want to wait any longer. He wants their child to be close to his relatives and friends.”

Halle Berry also revealed that she took four years off for her first pregnancy.
She left a film job in 2011 to fight a custody battle for Nahla, her daughter with Canadian supermodel Gabriel Aubry.
Integral partThe actress said X-Men: Days of Future Past would be shot "around the bump" and that the script would not be changed.

Berry was trained as a call attendant for her latest film role in The Call "Storm probably won't be as badass as she was going to be because we won't be able to do any fighting or flying or things like that," she said.
"She'll be different than we originally planned her to be but I still think she'll be an integral part of this new X-Men movie."
Halle Berry, 46, told reporters that an intruder had tried to break into her house a year before shooting her new role as an emergency call attendant.
"That woman on the other end of the phone was there to make sure that I did all the right things, to make sure that I was safe," she said.
The role she plays in The Call sees her guiding a young caller away from a serial killer.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is due out next year and will be directed by Bryan Singer.
