Despite many rumors about the state of Julio Iglesias’ health, this Saturday, September 23, the Spanish singer turned 80 years old. To celebrate, neither he nor his family wanted a big party, rather they preferred to stay in their mansion in the Bahamas and share with each other.
His desire to have a discreet celebration this Saturday was made clear in the letter he wrote for ‘Hola’ magazine, a publication that was made as a tribute and that covers the career of the world-famous artist.
In the letter he made it clear that he would stay on the property in the Bahamas and that he would be accompanied by his wife Miranda Rijnsburger and some of his children: Miguel, Rodrigo, Victoria, Cristina and Guillermo.
This decision does not surprise almost anyone, since since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, the Church has been very far from public life. There is even talk of an unannounced retirement, although some media claim that he is planning his return to the stage and that in parallel he is writing his autobiography.
Although he has paused his public appearances, Iglesias remains a fan of luxury. This is proven in the large mansions that he has in several cities and in the recent construction of a superyacht, which he had built in a shipyard in Poland.
According to several media outlets, Julio Iglesias has been living in recent years in a large mansion in the Bahamas, an archipelago with more than 700 islands and 2,000 cays. In 2021 Julio Iglesias Jr., the singer’s son, confessed that his father was leading a very quiet life on the beachfront property.
Although Iglesias moved to the Bahamas with the start of the pandemic, his relationship with this archipelago is not new. In the 80s, after going through one of the most difficult moments of her career, she turned this place into her refuge, where she went to rest and forget about her work as an artist for a while.
Iglesias’ property is specifically located in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, which is in turn located on the island of New Providence. In a publication made by ‘Hola’ in the 80s, it was highlighted that the house is located 50 minutes by plane from Miami, where the artist’s main residence was located.
The property is known to have all the luxuries and amenities worthy of a star like Iglesias. There is a large main house with large rooms, space for guests, green areas, impressive views, access to the sea, swimming pool, terrace and many other spaces that the singer surely enjoys every day.
In recent years, not many photos have been shared that show the place in detail, but there are old recordings from the 80s, where Iglesias shows the place.
