NADI, Fiji — Chris Hemsworth has spent the Christmas holidays with wife Elsa Pataky and their three children at Tavarua Island Resort, sharing beach-and-surf moments from the island escape. The snapshots offer a rare peek at how the actor and his family unwind together between projects, Dec. 27, 2025.
Entertainment outlet E! News reported Hemsworth, 42, and Pataky, 49, traveled with daughter India Rose, 13, and 11-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan, plus extended family including brothers Liam and Luke Hemsworth and their father, Craig.
Chris Hemsworth’s Fiji Christmas at Tavarua Island
Local outlet Fiji Sun said Chris Hemsworth also shared a less festive detail from the trip: a deep gash on his right leg after a family surfing session. Even so, most of the images leaned into the simple rhythms of a tropical holiday — swimsuits and Santa hats, time on the boat and a sunset beach lineup with the Hemsworth men.
Chris Hemsworth has not said how long the family plans to stay, but the posts framed the break as equal parts rest and play: a Christmas getaway where the schedule is set by tides, meals and daylight.
Why Tavarua Island draws surfers
Tavarua is best known for the reef breaks just offshore. The resort’s surf guide highlights Cloudbreak as a marquee left-hand break and notes that it can shift from manageable barrels to heavy swell days (Tavarua Island Resort).
Tourism officials describe Cloudbreak as a challenging left-hand reef break in the Mamanuca Islands, off the western coast near Nadi, with boat access required and conditions that are not meant for beginners (Tourism Fiji). For Chris Hemsworth, who has long mixed travel with time in the water, the setting fits the family’s outdoors-first pace.
Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s long-running holiday playbook
This is not the first time Chris Hemsworth has spotlighted Fiji as a reset button. In May, he posted photos from a trip with his twin sons that included boating, surfing and a thank-you to the same resort (People reported).
A People relationship timeline notes the couple married in 2010 and later moved to Byron Bay, Australia, a shift they have tied to a more grounded family routine.
And in 2017, Architectural Digest wrote about Hemsworth celebrating his 34th birthday at a secluded resort off Australia’s Great Barrier Reef — another example of how often the pair’s downtime revolves around water, sun and a little space.
The Fiji trip also lands in a milestone week: Chris Hemsworth and Pataky marked 15 years of marriage in late December, sharing family photos that span travel, work and everyday life (according to People).
For now, the Fiji snapshots read like a year-end exhale: family close, surf close, and a Christmas that looks a lot like summer.
