Roger Federer has returned to Mallorca for a private visit, arriving on the island by private jet with his family and their dog, as reported by Mallorca Magazin.
The former world number one and his wife, Miroslava “Mirka” Federer, have established a base in a private residence in the north of the island.
The Swiss tennis legend’s latest trip continues his pattern of frequent visits to Mallorca. Among their close friends on the island is Rafael Nadal, with whom the Federers maintain a long-standing personal relationship.
Federer’s presence on the island was previously documented in July, when he visited the Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor. During that summer trip, he attended the unveiling of an exhibit dedicated to Nadal’s career and spent time playing at the Son Gual Golf course.
Beyond the potential for high-profile sporting reunions, the trip is focused on family time and exploring the island’s terrain. Federer is known to have a particular affinity for the region’s tranquility and its culinary offerings.
The visit highlights the enduring partnership between Roger and Mirka Federer. Mirka, herself a former professional tennis player, has been a central figure in Federer’s career since before he secured his first ATP title. She remained a constant presence throughout his rise to winning 103 titles.
“Mirka is more than just Federer’s wife – she belongs to the people who helped turn that untamed talent into one of the most consistent athletes in history,” Mallorca Magazin noted in its report.
Federer’s personal habits have long been a subject of interest for fans of his career. The Swiss star has an admitted fondness for sweets, including chocolate, waffles with fruit compote, and ice cream. His broader culinary preferences range from Italian pizza and Japanese or Indian cuisine to traditional Swiss staples like fondue and raclette.
His disciplined approach to his professional life was similarly reflected in his pre-match routine. For two decades, Federer maintained a strict habit of eating a plate of pasta with a light sauce exactly two hours before stepping onto the court for a match.
The family arrived in Mallorca from Zurich, traveling with significant luggage and their pet. They are currently residing in a house in the northern part of the island, keeping their movements discreet to maintain the private nature of their stay.
