For 36-year-old Rafael Nadal, 2023 is turning out to be a nightmare in terms of his professional tennis career. Since sustaining a hip injury at the Australian Open, Nadal has been forced to withdraw from several high-profile tournaments. His latest withdrawal will see him missing out on his favorite Grand Slam, the French Open. However, despite the frustrating nature of his injury that’s keeping him out of tennis, he has every reason to be optimistic in terms of his personal life.
After all, his brand new home is almost complete. Nadal is looking forward to moving in with his family later this year. Now that very little work remains to ensure his new home’s completion, several details have emerged regarding its appearance and interiors. Unsurprisingly, it’s a home that most people can only dream of.

Rafael Nadal’s new home is located in Porto Cristo, Mallorca. It’s a place Nadal knows very well, as he was born and brought up there. Iconic architect Tomeu Estuva designed the home. Nadal, whose net worth right now is around $220 million, acquired the land for an estimated $4.3 million, but the value of the property right now remains a mystery. Its location at Porto Cristo’s highest point means that the home will offer the Nadal family some fantastic views of the sea and the port city.
The home’s exterior features a gorgeous garden. It consists of a diverse array of palm trees. It has an olive tree as well. Nadal’s love for greenery is evident from one of the home’s sides, which is completely covered in greens. The greenery plays a functional role as well, as it protects the home’s most exposed portion.
The property features two interconnected buildings, which both have hipped roofs consisting of wide overhangs. Estuva designed the roofs this way to protect the terraces across the first and second floors. Built over a whopping 7,000 square meters, the home also has a sizeable swimming pool.

A brief glance at Nadal’s other properties
Nadal’s current Mallorca home, which cost him around $1.5 million, isn’t too bad. However, it seems like Nadal wants the best view in town. That’s probably why he opted to shift to Porto Cristo’s highest point.
The 22-time Grand Slam winner also owns a holiday home in the Dominican Republic. It reportedly cost Nadal around $2 million. You can expect more details to emerge about Nadal’s new home once he makes the move with his family in the summer.
