Rafa Nadal & Manacor
A place to train.

Discover how it beganA PURPOSE WITH DEEP ROOTS
Rafa Nadal.
Opening a path for others.
Rafa Nadal knows the commitment a love of tennis can become: hours of practice, patient work and the desire to improve. In creating Rafa Nadal Academy, he wanted promising young players to have somewhere to develop their game while continuing their studies, supported by people who cared about their future as well as their tennis.
Manacor was a natural home for that idea. It is where Rafa Nadal grew up and where the project could remain close to its roots. On court and in the classroom, the same days would hold sporting ambition, friendships, responsibility and the small habits that help a person grow.
The experience behind a shared method
Excellence in racket sports is built through daily work: technique, physical and mental preparation, attention to the player and the drive to improve. Rafa Nadal Academy’s experience in tennis and padel shapes distinct methodologies and an approach that brings learning, progress and enjoyment together.
MANACOR · MALLORCA · 2016
A whole world of sport.
The Manacor campus brings together tennis and padel, holiday camps and high-performance programs. Rafa Nadal School provides international education, while accommodation, fitness, wellbeing, dining and Rafa Nadal Museum make it a place to train, stay and enjoy sport.
Progress has more than one setting.
A lesson learned, an exam prepared for, a graduation shared with classmates. These moments matter alongside every improvement on court. Education has been part of the purpose from the beginning, giving young players the chance to keep building their academic future while dedicating themselves to the sport they love.
