Tommy Robinson has been stoking far-right race riots across Britain from the safety of a sun lounger at a five-star hotel in Cyprus, MailOnline can reveal.
The former English Defence League leader has posted a constant stream of inflammatory social media posts from his foreign bolthole while on holiday with family and friends.
Robinson, 41, who had a UK arrest warrant issued against him last Monday after he skipped a court appearance had tried to keep his holiday location a secret.
While his supporters have rioted in recent days across the UK, he failed to mention his location in a series of video rants posted to his 800,000 followers on X, formerly Twitter.
But MailOnline can now reveal that he has been staying at an all-inclusive resort on the outskirts of Ayia Napa, Cyprus.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been mixing happily with other holidaymakers, many of whom seem unaware of his identity.
A reporter saw him repeatedly using his mobile phone at the same time as posts went out on his X account, condemning police for supposedly cracking down on his supporters while failing to tackle Muslim protesters.
He was also seen reading a hardback copy of American businessman and conspiracy theorist Patrick Byrne’s memoir called Danger Close.
MailOnline tracked down Robinson’s location after he posted a video of himself in the hotel’s first floor gym, in which a series of waterslides could be seen through the window.
The day before, he had posted a video from a shop showing Cypriot Greek confectionery on the shelves – so we made a list of every hotel in Cyprus with an on-site water park, and soon found an identical set of slides.
We then matched his images of the gym with online pictures of the hotel’s gym, showing the same layout of windows, mirrors, equipment and identical wooden flooring.
MailOnline first spotted Robinson shortly before the sun went down on Saturday at the beach bar of the hotel which charges more than £400 a night for a peak season double room with all meals and drinks included.

He was filmed walking back to his chalet bungalow room with members of his family and friends before heading out for a meal later in the evening.
Robinson and his holiday group were seen dining at the resort’s Dante pizza restaurant, and then heading to the bar for a late drink.
But while others in the group swigged beer with a saxophonist providing background music, Robinson appeared to be only sipping a coffee while scrolling through his phone.
As he sat in the bar wearing a navy blue polo-style top with a brown patterned collar, he updated his profile picture on X to show an image of him wearing the same shirt an earlier protest in the UK.
He headed off to bed shortly after midnight, but he appears to have stayed up, writing posts on X, condemning media coverage which labelled protesters as ‘far right’ and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper calling them ‘thugs’
In other late night tweets, he slammed ‘2 tier policing’ in the UK with Muslim counter protesters allegedly facing ‘no police batons’ and ‘no horses’ in contrast to the treatment of his supporters.
Robinson was up for breakfast with family members including his daughter shortly after 7am today when the hotel’s buffet restaurant was largely empty.
He and his daughter then headed for an hour-long workout in the hotel’s gym where guests can enjoy views of the sea through floor to ceiling windows.

While spending at least 45 minutes on a cross-trainer, he repeatedly picked up his mobile phone, and posted more Islamophobic messages on X.
In reply to a Muslim who posted: ‘Islam is better for you’, he replied: ‘Tell that to the 9yr old little girls being married & raped like aisha. It’s sick and it’s backwards.’
In another post, re-tweeting a warning about the alleged dangers of censoring criticism of Islam, he wrote while exercising: ‘You were all warned. We have freedom or we have Islam, you can’t have both.’
After returning to his room to get changed, he stretched out on a cabana-style double day bed beside the swimming pool, where he stripped off to his swimming shorts, and caught up with his mobile phone messages while lying down in the shade.
At one stage, he started reading his book Danger Close in which Byrne describes himself as the ‘Messiah of Bitcoin’ and as being a former secret operative for the US government.
The book promotes Byrne’s discredited conspiracy theories that Donald Trump lost the US presidential election in 2020 due to voter fraud.
Robinson went off for a short walk, pulling on a purple top as he headed away from the pool.
But he returned to lie down on a partially submerged sun lounger in the shallows at the edge of the pool, where he could stretch out while being cooled by the water around him as temperatures soared to 36C.

Robinson had been ordered six-weeks-ago to attend the High Court in London last Monday after allegedly breaching an order not to tell lies about a Syrian refugee.
But he failed to attend the hearing, leading to senior judge Mr Justice Johnson issuing an arrest warrant for him, although he ordered it not to be carried out ‘until early October’ to give Robinson time to confirm he would attend the next hearing voluntarily.
The case came after Robinson lost a major court defamation battle in July 2021 against Syrian teenager Jamal Hijazi, and was forced to pay him £100,000 in damages for falsely accused him of being a violent thug, leading to the claims spreading across social media.
A judge ordered Robinson never to repeat the lies, but last year he allegedly began repeating his claims, including in a film distributed online.
Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General, the government minister who oversees contempt of court allegations, told Mr Justice Johnson on Monday that Robinson had screened his documentary called Silenced to his supporters at a central London protest on Saturday last week
The barrister said the public showing just two days before Monday’s court hearing had been a ‘flagrant’ and ‘admitted’ breach of the court order not to repeat the false claims.
Robinson was arrested by police under counter terrorism powers when he went to the Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone, and allegedly refused to co-operate with a port stop and search.
Robinson flew to Cyprus from Vienna airport, where he spent a seven-hour layover at a Terminal 3 restaurant owned by Austrian celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck
The resort boasts a number of dining options including a fine dining restaurant a Mediterranean bistro and an Asian restaurantÂ
He was held until 10pm before being released on unconditional bail and allowed to leave the country.
Mr Payter told the hearing on Monday: ‘We understand he failed to cooperate with a port stop and search.
‘The implication is he was attempting to leave the country and therefore was not intending to attend this hearing this morning
‘The information that we have is that he is not within the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. He has been spending significant time outside the UK since being served with the contempt application on 13 June.
‘He returned for the purpose of publishing the film and sought to immediately leave the jurisdiction.’

The resort boasts on its website that it is in ‘a stunning location overlooking one of the most spectacular sunsets in Cyprus’ and is ‘the ideal place for a family vacation and for those seeking a serene environment’.
The website adds: ‘The harmonious combination of simplicity and luxury will charm all the guests.’

Many of the chalet style rooms have private swim-up pools.
