Michael Douglas's spectacular palace in Mallorca has been in the spotlight on several occasions, and now it is once again drawing all eyes. The actor's luxurious retreat on the island stands out for its size, amenities, and its history. This year, Michael Douglas has celebrated a very special date at this unique residence, surrounded by his family and the Mediterranean magic.
Mallorca is a place with great significance for the actor, who has made the island his summer home for decades. However, behind this majestic property lie years of controversy. Failed sales and personal decisions have marked the actor's history in Spain.
A refuge with history on the Mallorcan coast that has 8 buildings, cinema, and spa
The S'Estaca estate was acquired by Michael Douglas in 1990 together with his then-wife, Diandra Luker. This property dates back to 1867 and was built by Archduke Luis Salvador de Habsburgo. Located between Valldemossa and Deià, it offers stunning views of the Tramontana mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.
The land covers more than 247 acres (100 hectares), including vineyards and olive trees, which makes the estate a true private paradise. Within this area, the palace consists of eight buildings, seven of them for guests, a private cinema, gym, spa, and marble pool. Everything is designed for relaxation and luxury.
Spaces designed for relaxation and entertainment
The mansion's interiors are lined with wood and stone, with typical Mallorcan materials that give it a special charm. The property has ten bedrooms and bathrooms, a wine cellar, library, and a multimedia lounge. Douglas has said that it can accommodate up to 20 people, which is ideal for welcoming family and friends in total comfort.
This place is not just a residence, but a sanctuary where the Douglas family have shared unforgettable moments. Michael and Catherine Zeta-Jones spend their summers at the estate, enjoying the family environment. There, they celebrate special dates with their children and grandchildren, keeping the tradition alive.
Problems and controversies surrounding the estate
Despite its beauty, S'Estaca has been surrounded by controversies. After Michael Douglas and Diandra Luker separated in 1995, the couple agreed to share the estate by seasons. However, tensions led the actor to try to sell the property on several occasions.
The first attempt to sell was in 2014 with an initial price of 55 million euros, but they did not manage to sell it. In 2020, Douglas bought his ex-wife's share for 15 million and decided to keep the estate. The pandemic greatly influenced his decision, as he valued the tranquility of the place more than ever.
Family celebration and future plans
This year, Michael Douglas celebrated his 79th birthday in Mallorca and it seems that he has brought forward the big party for his 80th birthday. The family gathered in the village to celebrate the La Beata festivities. The actor shared a video on social media dancing with the local people.
The estate will remain the actor's main refuge, a space where luxury, privacy, and tradition come together. Michael Douglas has found a home in Mallorca far from the noise of Hollywood, where he can celebrate life and his successes surrounded by his loved ones.
