While she enjoyed a break, the Northern Irishman, 35, came agonisingly close to ending his 10-year wait for a major title on Sunday.
However, with five holes left to play he carded three bogeys to squander a two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau.
McIlroy handed his rival an unexpected lifeline after missing a par putt from four feet on the final hole, and DeChambeau grabbed the opportunity with both hands to wrap up the title.
The golfer’s collapse came just days after he called off his divorce from wife Erica Stoll.
And that U-turn was less than a month after he initially filed paperwork to split with the mother of his three-year-old daughter.
Allegations were made in the American media that McIlroy had enjoyed a romance with Balionis, 38.
He was then pictured hugging the CBS Sports star, fuelling speculation the pair were dating, before the news of reconciliation with Stoll.
But while he was suffering disappointment on the course, Balionis was kicking back on the beach.
And she even posted a snap of herself on her Instagram story in a tiny black bikini at the summer hot spot.
Balionis also donned a red Ramy Brook dress in another photo that she shared from her weekend away.

Questions have been raised over recent months regarding the TV reporter’s two-year marriage to college football coach Bryn Renner, who is also a tech company account manager.
They got engaged in 2021 and wed the following year, but Balionis has not worn her wedding ring since February on her social media posts.
Although it is understood that neither of them have filed for divorce, she has changed her username on X from her married moniker of Balionis Renner to just her maiden name of Balionis.

Meanwhile, McIlroy has been spotted with his wife for the first time since the couple called off their divorce.
They were seen with their daughter in Florida on Monday.
Stoll was wearing her engagement ring, while her husband had his wedding band.
