In an exciting collaboration, tennis legend Rafael Nadal has joined forces with Meliá Hotels, a global hospitality giant worth a staggering $1.39 billion, to unveil a brand new hotel in his beloved hometown of Mallorca. The highly anticipated Zel Mallorca, the first property under the Zel lifestyle hotel brand, is all set to open its doors on July 1.

With 165 rooms, including 21 luxurious suites, the hotel offers a blend of comfort, sophistication, and world-class amenities that are set to captivate guests from the moment they arrive.

Rafael Nadal and Meliá Hotels International: A Winning Combination

Rafael Nadal, an icon in the world of tennis and a beloved figure in Mallorca, has joined forces with Meliá Hotels International to create the Zel hotel brand. This partnership is poised to shape the future of luxury hospitality around the globe in the coming years. While the recent opening of British businessman Richard Branson’s son’s Bunyola Hotel may have caused a stir, the official launch of Zel Mallorca in Palmanova is poised to outshine any other hospitality event this summer.

Rafael Nadal himself will grace the event, alongside Gabriel Escarrer, the CEO of Meliá Hotels International. With invitations extended to around 300 guests, the guest list includes prominent figures from various spheres.

What is Rafael Nadal up to lately?

The tennis icon has endured a challenging year thus far, being sidelined from the sport since January due to a hip injury sustained during the Australian Open. Following the unfortunate exit in the tournament’s second round, Nadal made the difficult decision to withdraw from further events, including the prestigious French Open, where he had previously triumphed with an unprecedented 14 titles.

Despite being unable to compete, Rafael Nadal’s spirit and dedication to the sport remain unwavering. His appearance at the Mallorca Open served as a heartwarming reminder of his commitment to fellow players and the tennis community as a whole. In a video that quickly went viral on social media, Nadal was seen at the event, but rather than taking the spotlight, he was there to show his support for his compatriot, Feliciano Lopez.
