The on/off couple - who are currently banned from seeing each other for five years by a court order after Chris was found guilty of assaulting Rihanna in February - have decided to jet to Acapulco, Mexico, as the ruling cannot be enforced outside America.
A source told Britain's Star magazine: "They spoke to their lawyers to see what was allowed, and are now planning two weeks in Mexico. They want to spend some quality time together and know they have a lot to reconcile before they can make their relationship public again.
"Rihanna's desperate not to let her fans down as she's had such support from them. She and Chris both need to have a long, hard think about a strategy that won't hurt their careers."
Chris pled guilty to punching, hitting and choking Rihanna in his rented Lamborghini car on February 8.
He was sentenced to five months probation and six months community labour.
He must also complete a course of domestic violence counselling and cannot come within 100 yards of the 'Umbrella' singer.
Chris has apologised for the incident on video-sharing website YouTube, and also admitted he wishes it never happened.
The pair went on holiday together to Miami shortly after the incident, but have not been seen in public together since.
The source said: "What happened was a shock to both of them and completely out of character for Chris. There was nothing they could do but split up. But they've kept in touch and met up in secret as they missed each other. They've never, ever stopped loving each other.
"To say Chris is completely disgusted with himself is an understatement. Now he's been given a second chance he's determined to make up for it."
