Lionel Messi, along with his closest pal and ex-teammate of Barcelona FC, Cesc Fabregas, treated their loved ones to an extravagant holiday in Ibiza, Spain, on June 24, which also happened to be Messi’s birthday. The vacation was attended by Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and their three adorable kids, Mateo, Thiago, and Ciro. Fabregas brought along his lovely wife Daniella Semaan and their three little ones, Lia, Capri, and Leonardo.
According to The Daily Mail, two football players who are taking a break before the upcoming season have purchased a luxurious mansion on a Spanish island. The price of the house is reported to be $318,000 (€303,000) per week and it boasts six bedrooms, a gym, and a 65-foot (20-meter) swimming pool, along with a staff of 22 people.
The reason why the couple decided to go sailing was because they simply loved being out on the water. Antonela Roccuzzo, who is married to Lionel Messi, shared some pictures of their adventure on board the Shaliman II vessel.
In 2009, the famous Italian shipyard Pershing built the Shaliman II, a stunning open yacht that spans about 90 feet wide and boasts a beam of 20’5″ (6.23 m) and a low draft of 5’5″ (1.65 m). This magnificent vessel features a GRP hull and superstructure, and its twin MTU engines can power it up to 38 knots (44 mph / 70 kph) at cruise and 44 knots (51 mph / 81 kph) at top speed, according to Yacht Charter Fleet.

Last year, the yacht underwent renovation to house up to eight people in four suite rooms – one of which is a luxurious master suite along with a VIP cabin and two twin cabins. The yacht comes with a dedicated team of four crew members who will be at your service throughout your stay. The rent for the week-long stay is $62,500 (€59,000) plus additional expenses.
During their holiday, the two pairs of individuals also chose to reside at the Mim Hotel owned by Lionel Messi.
