The 44-year-old mother-of-two showed off her slim figure in a plunging black one-piece swimsuit.
She was a bare-faced beauty while soaking in the ocean and emerging with her light brown hair drenched.
It comes after she finalized her divorce from ex-husband Benjamin Millepied in February 2024.
Missing from the scene were the former couple’s two children, son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, eight.
Millepied quickly moved on from the relationship, and it was revealed that Portman was ‘not surprised.’
The two were married for 11 years before Portman filed for divorce in July 2023.
Their split followed reports that Millepied had allegedly cheated on his wife with a woman 21 years his junior.
He was spotted kissing a woman on October 15, 2024 in Paris, according to Us Weekly, with the outlet’s source revealing Portman’s feelings about his swift return to the dating scene.
‘Natalie isn’t surprised that Benjamin has moved on because of how their relationship ended,’ the person said.
It was added: ‘She thought he’d move on pretty quickly.’
At the time it was reported that the Lady in the Lake star hoped her ex-husband was ‘happy’ and that his ‘dating life doesn’t really have any bearing on Natalie.’
‘She’s super happy in her life right now and has been prioritizing family and friends,’ the source said.
In 2023 the French outlet Voici released an explosive report claiming Millepied had an affair with then-25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne.
Portman relocated to Paris nearly a decade ago.
In May 2025, the Israel-born performer spoke with Net-a-Porter on the topic of cultural differences.
‘I find the people here are actually incredibly friendly – you just have to know how to interact, so that we’re not the ones being rude,’ she explained.
She added: ‘Now, when I go back to the U.S., I’m like, Oh, I would go into a store and not say hello to everyone there? It’s weird.’
‘I think we have an ASSUMPTION that western cultures are all the same — and kind of evened out by all this pop culture that everyone consumes. It’s not true,’ the star mused.
She said of the Parisian lifestyle: ‘It’s extremely specific here, and the culture is very different in both deep and surface ways.’
Portman elaborated, ‘All the kids that come to my house are, like, “Bonjour Madame,” and give me the bise (a cheek-to-cheek kiss).
‘Before they leave, they are, like, “Thank you for having me,” and if I’m not nearby, they’ll come and find me to say it.’
