American actor Matthew McConaughey has been spotted at Puerto Andratx alongside his wife, Camila Alves. The pair hopped onto a small boat to make their way to a yacht, where they have been enjoying several peaceful days in the waters surrounding Mallorca. They relished the seclusion and elegance of this exclusive location in the island’s southwest, in the company of friends such as Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, and his wife, model Jessica Miller. Also present were Camila’s sister Michelle, who is likewise a model, and her husband, Israeli author Guy Oseary.
The Hollywood heart throb arrived in Mallorca after attending the Wimbledon tennis championships. He was nicknamed “the gentleman cowboy” after he was first on his feet for the arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales in the royal box. Though not obligated by royal protocol, as Americans aren’t required to bow or curtsy, Matthew McConaughey chose to stand in a show of respect, quietly honouring their presence. This is believed to be his first visit to Mallorca and he is a guest aboard the super-yacht Rising Sun which has welcomed numerous Hollywood celebries this summer.
Photos show McConaughey and Alves making efforts to stay under the radar before boarding the motorboat that took them to their yacht. The pleasant Mallorcan weather provided a perfect setting for their getaway. Matthew McConaughey, who has earned both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, has collaborated with many prominent directors throughout his career. His filmography includes works by Joel Schumacher, Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, William Friedkin, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and Guy Ritchie.
Early in his career, McConaughey was often seen in light-hearted romantic comedies such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and The Wedding Planner. However, one of his standout performances came in the role of detective Rust Cohle in the first season of the critically acclaimed TV series True Detective, where he starred alongside Woody Harrelson. Looking ahead, he has several projects planned for release in 2025, including films like The Rivals of Amziah King, Labyrinth on Fire, and the TV series Brothers, which also features Harrelson.
Mallorca continues to establish itself as a preferred holiday destination for celebrities and high-profile visitors. Areas such as Andratx, Deya, and Formentor provide a unique combination of exclusivity, stunning natural landscapes, and the possibility of enjoying anonymity away from the public eye.
