Established as one of the world’s leading sports centers, the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar continues to consolidate its position year after year as one of the most in-demand venues, generating a strong impact on attendees of events held in the Balearic Islands.

Located in Manacor, Rafa Nadal’s hometown, this high-performance center has become one of Mallorca’s top attractions thanks to its sports programs for all audiences, its wide gastronomic offering, and, of course, one of the island’s major leisure landmarks: the Rafa Nadal Museum. This is the first and only exhibition in the world dedicated to Rafa Nadal’s career, attracting over 100,000 visitors annually since its opening in 2016.

In addition to sports, the MICE sector (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) has also found in the Rafa Nadal Academy the perfect venue to host congresses, meetings, conferences, and corporate events throughout the year. In fact, during the 2024–2025 season, the Academy hosted a total of 115 MICE events.

Its spacious facilities, wide range of rooms, and diverse culinary options provide companies with unparalleled opportunities to impress their clients and guests. Events, conferences, and conventions can be complemented by tennis and padel activities, or by interactive experiences at the Rafa Nadal Museum, which is currently undergoing refurbishment.

The Rafa Nadal Academy offers versatile, fully equipped spaces for corporate events of any kind — from conferences and presentations to business meetings. All facilities are designed to adapt to each client’s needs, providing a professional and comfortable environment.

Currently, the Academy features a 386 m² auditorium (divisible into two rooms of 238 m² and 148 m²), and a 120 m² conference room. Both are equipped with large-format LED screens and the best lighting, sound, digital décor, special effects, and streaming services.

The Academy also offers iconic spaces such as the Central Court — ideal for large-scale events thanks to its grandstand capacity — and the indoor tennis courts (1,215 m²), which are perfect for events, filming, and recordings, featuring giant LED screens and options for physical and digital customization.

For more private and exclusive events, companies often choose the Australian Open area, whose outdoor terrace is ideal for cocktails, coffee breaks, or finger food.

When it comes to dining, the Academy offers a wide range of options, including the US Open restaurant (buffet), the RNA Club House gastrobar, and the Roland-Garros Restaurant — an exclusive dining space inspired by the Parisian Grand Slam. This restaurant is decorated with images of some of the most iconic players in the tournament’s history, such as Steffi Graf, Chris Evert, Björn Borg, and Rafa Nadal himself.

For companies seeking to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine outside the complex, the Academy also manages reservations at Sa Punta Restaurant, located in the Port Verd cove, offering stunning views of the sea and the Mallorcan coastline.

Thanks to its diverse range of spaces, leisure options, and gastronomy, the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has become an ideal choice for corporate tourism, offering a unique venue to host outstanding events.
