Since its creation in 2016, the Rafa Nadal Museum has gradually become one of the epicenters of leisure and tourism in Mallorca. Located within the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar facilities, the museum has welcomed 107,000 visitors over the past 12 months, a record number since its creation almost nine years ago.

Following Rafa’s retirement last November, the museum has added several spaces that have provided a great incentive for visitors to experience his career and his values through an emotional journey through time.

One of the most appreciated spots by visitors is the new area dedicated to Roland Garros. This space, which pays tribute to one of the greatest feats in the history of sport, houses all the Babolat rackets Rafa used to compete in Paris, as well as all the Nike headbands and sneakers he wore during his time as champion in the French capital. Visitors can also see an impressive design featuring images of Rafa lifting all the titles, as well as an infographic compiling many of the Balearic tennis player’s most astonishing statistics on the Parisian clay. Another of the most characteristic elements of this space is the replica of the sculpture that Roland Garros dedicated to Rafa and which was recently presented to the Spaniard by the French Tennis Federation and Amelie Mauresmo, the current tournament director. Fans who visit the Rafa Nadal Museum will be able to see up close in this new space a spectacular life-size sculpture of Rafa Nadal celebrating a title on his knees. This iconic piece, created by Nike in 2014 and weighing 150 kilos, has been on display at Nike Europe headquarters until now, when it has arrived in Manacor for the first time.

Another new and iconic space references Rafa’s journey through the Olympic Games and houses the torch he carried less than a year ago at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games . Visitors will also be able to see the jerseys worn by both Rafa and Carlos Alcaraz in the Olympic doubles tournament.

In 2016, the Rafa Nadal Museum became the first and only exhibition of Rafa Nadal’s trophies, capturing the highlights of his sporting career, from when he began playing tennis as a child to the present day. The exhibition takes visitors through his trophies, but also through the shirts, shoes, and objects worn by Rafa to win each of the Grand Slam finals he has played throughout his career. In addition to learning firsthand about the achievements of one of the greatest tennis players in history, on the exhibition floor, visitors will gain a comprehensive overview of the history of contemporary sport thanks to the memorabilia and objects donated by some of the leading figures in the history of world sport, such as Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, Leo Messi, Novak Djokovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Valentino Rossi, Luca Doncic, and legends of Spanish sport such as Pau Gasol, Fernando Alonso, Carolina Marín, Mireia Belmonte, David Villa, Ona Carbonell, and Lydia Valentín.

Additionally, the Rafa Nadal Museum offers various activities with different levels of action that allow you to experience interactive and technological experiences linked to the world of sports, enjoy games for all ages, and challenge your family and friends in fun interactive games. A wide variety of sports (tennis, Formula 1, cycling, basketball, soccer, etc.) are practiced in a different and exciting way, all within a high-tech environment and recreational activities.
