Michael Schumacher is 'spending winter at luxury £26 million Majorca villa with round-the-clock carers'

Neighbours told Bunte they saw the German racing legend arrive by dark blue helicopter at Port d’Andratx on the Spanish island.


Villa Yasmin, a plush, sprawling pile which previously belonged to Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, boasts two swimming pools, a large manicured garden, helipad and stunning sea views.

Bunte said the F1 ace’s family celebrated Christmas and spent their winter holiday at the mammoth property they purchased last year – swapping icy conditions at their home at Lake Geneva, Switzerland, for sunny skies in the Mediterranean.

The Schumachers also brought Kalle, their brown and white Welsh Corgi for their vacation, the German magazine added.

The racing ace flew aboard a specially adapted Bell 429 Global Ranger, with Bunte explaining that medical staff were on duty at his family's villa.

It is believed that Schumacher was also at the property for New Year’s celebrations and his 50th birthday on January 3.

While it is not known whether he is living there permanently, Vanitatis said that security workers on the island had confirmed that the Schumachers are no longer at the villa.

The publication said that the motorsport legend used to spend many summers in Majorca, and that his brother, Ralf, "also lives a good part of the year there".

When news broke of the property purchase last year, Mallorca Zeitung said that the local community would "welcome" the Schumacher family.

According to Bild Am Sonntag, it was intended as a holiday home.

The much-loved sports star was critically  injured when he fell while skiing with son Mick in the French Alps in December 2013.

At the end of last year it was revealed that Schumacher was "not surviving on tubes", as new details about the recovery of the seven-time F1 champ emerge.

Since the skiing accident, family friend and manager Sabine Kehm has offered small glimpses into the beloved racing star's everyday life.

Interviewed by the podcast Beyond The Grid to mark Schuey's birthday, Kehm said the ace's supportive family have always been his number one priority – and continue to play the same role today.
