The family is known for enjoying the Spanish island, often traveling to the destination during the summer. Barack Obama wasn't spotted in the images, but various sources claim that he is there and is staying at the X'arbet Ranch alongside his family.
The ranch is owned by Costos and Smith, two figures who played a pivotal role during Obama's administration, with the group developing a friendship that has remained strong through the years.

While Michelle Obama is regularly featured attending various events and podcasts, the former First Lady likes to keep her private life away from the spotlight, including her personal vacations.
Still, Mallorca appears to be one of her favorite places to travel to, with her being photographed on the island every year, with her stopping by artisanal markets and going to some of her favorite restaurants, like Ca Na Toneta, and Bens d'Avall.
Barack Obama's most recent documented visit to Mallorca took place in November of last year, with him stopping by the Son Gual golf course to play a game.

In the appearance on the podcast "Work in Progress," Michelle revealed that following her daughters' graduation, she's been making time for herself. "It’s whatever I want. It’s the first time in my life that all of my choices are for me,” she said.
