Palace of Marivent
Spanish royal family summer residence
The Palace of Marivent (which in English means Palace of Sea and Wind) is a modern palace built in the 1920s and located in the tourist area of Cala Mayor in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Since the 1970s, this palace has been the summer residence of the Spanish royal family, although their official residence in the Balearic Islands is the Royal Palace of La Almudaina. This is also the favourite palace of Queen Sofía, being the place where she lives most of the year.[1]

Unlike the official residence of the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, Marivent does not belong to the set of residences of the Spanish royal family property of the Patrimonio Nacional state agency, but its ownership corresponds to the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands. Despite this nature of a private residence, the Marivent Palace has served, on many occasions, as a setting for the receptions and interviews that the monarch offers both the prime minister of Spain and other international authorities.
