Every Olympian deserves a vacation.
Rafael Nadal deserves a much-needed rest after his fourth Olympics. The tennis professional was one of the few athletes in the world who not only competed in the Paris Games but also served as a torchbearer during the Olympic ceremony. While it may not have gone as planned, Rafa, who recently announced his next event, contested in both the singles and doubles, reaching the quarterfinals alongside Carlos Alcaraz. Following the games, he flew to Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, one of his favorite places. He was with people who were most important to him: his wife, Mery Perelló, and their son, Rafa. They had a great day on August 12 aboard his magnificent boat, the Great White. Check out some of their activities below.

Rafa and Mery met in Mallorca, Spain, when they were both teenagers, and started dating around 2003. They’ve become one of the strongest couples, as shown in this snapshot, and they’re constantly there for one other.

The couple enjoyed riding on a jet ski while someone watched baby Rafa. Rafael drove, and they stayed safe by wearing life jackets.

Mery leads a pretty secluded life, although she has fans all around the world. The woman welcomed their first child in October 2022 and looks stunning in a bikini!

They will shortly celebrate baby Rafa’s second birthday. While he was too little to ride a jet ski, his mother offered him soft kisses in between the activities.
