Experience Mallorca Like a Celebrity

This content was translated by AI

You probably know Mallorca quite well, having swum in its turquoise waters, gone snorkeling in its coves and watched its impressive sunsets. Now it’s time to discover more. In this and the following posts, we’ll show you Mallorca as you’ve never seen it before. The Mallorca generally known only by local residents, the sights and sounds usually shared only with the locals.

We’ll start with the celebrities, those who can choose to live anywhere and opt to live in Mallorca. Why wouldn’t they? It’s the perfect combination of sea, sunshine, mountains, city and glamour! Here are 5 super celebrities who decided to make Mallorca their home.

Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones

Although they may spend more time in Hollywood production studios than in Mallorca, they are regular visitors to our island and the owners of an impressive property in S’Estaca, right between Deia and Valdemossa, in the Tramuntana Mountains.

The relationship between Michael Douglas and Mallorca is actually a long-lasting love story. The actor bought the property in the 1980s and has since become an official ambassador for the Balearic Islands.

While the villa offers more than enough space for entertaining, the couple are often spotted in nearby villages and walking through the Sierra de Tramuntana. To get a glimpse of the lifestyle there, you can enjoy one of the gift vouchers and experiences at Hotel Ca’s Xorc Luxury Retreat.

Claudia Schiffer & Matthew Vaughn

Claudia Schiffer may be known for walking the runway, but in her free time you’re much more likely to find her strolling around and playing at one of the many golf courses near Andratx. Apparently, she is more than a golf enthusiast and is quite good at it.

The model owns a beautiful property in Camp de Mar, close enough to Palma and everything the capital has to offer, but also close enough to the wild countryside and some of the best golf courses in the world. Take a look at the gift vouchers and experiences at St. Regis Mardavall right next door. Who knows when Claudia might stop by for afternoon tea.

Annie Lenox

Annie Lenox seems to have found her own piece of heaven in Sóller, where she has owned a mansion for many years. Unlike most celebrities, Annie Lennox treats Mallorca as her home, not just as a holiday destination. You can easily see why she has fallen in love with the island by visiting one of the many luxury hotels in the area. Personally, we recommend enjoying one of the gift vouchers and experiences at Jumeirah Port de Soller, a fabulous clifftop location with the most incredible views of Mallorca!

Rafael Nadal

Rafael "Rafa" Nadal, the superstar tennis player, is one of the few lucky people who were born in Mallorca. He appears to have no plans to leave, having refused to move to a larger training centre when his career was beginning to flourish. He recently married his lifelong love, María Perelló, at the stunning La Fortaleza, a former fortress turned seaside hotel.

The couple share their main residence on the island in a traditional Mallorcan stone house, located by the sea in Porto Cristo. The house has undergone extensive renovation since it was purchased in 2013 and often appears on Rafa’s Instagram. If you’d like to get to know this part of the island better, take a look at the gift vouchers and experiences at HM Mar Blau, one of the best hotels in the area.
