Rafael Nadal is one of the best tennis players in tennis history, and he loves his Manacor so much that he couldn’t resist from putting together his two passions.
Finally, the King of Clay opens the Rafael Nadal Academy, and that was a “bang”.
The facilities
The facilities are rather impressive with 26 tennis courts, a fitness center, 2 swimming pools, a mini-football pitch, 10 padel courts.
People can be accommodated in double bedrooms, with wi-fi access (why not).
WOW Cost
A 1 year program would cost 56.000 Euro, but if you become like Rafa…the payback is sure (quite a big “if”, isn’t it?)

From Nadal
Nadal released a statement on his website to say “It’s a very special project for me, through which I hope to convey everything that I have learned during my development as a person and as an athlete, as well as the experiences that I have gone through during my career as a tennis professional.”
According to their website
On the Rafael Nadal Academy website there is a description of the project (Located in Manacor (Mallorca), Rafa Nadal’s home town, the Academy combines and tennis and education so that students can continue their pathway to professional tennis without having to neglect their academic studies. The Academy has its training system based on the experience acquired by Rafa and his technical team during his years on the ATP circuit, and including the values that have been fundamental to his achievements and success.
The Academy’s team is comprised of a group of experienced coaches, directed by Toni Nadal, and by other professionals that have accompanied Rafa throughout his sporting career. The team in which he has always trusted is actively involved and has a major role at the Academy.)
The Centre will be finished in 2016.
Interesting.
