The former U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, had lunch in Puerto Portals with her daughters Malia and Sasha on Friday alongside her close friends former US ambassador to Spain, James Costos, and his partner, interior designer Michael Smith. The VIP party were photographed at the exclusive Lobster Club in Portals. Former President Barack Obama has not come on holiday with his family.
There was a strong security presence for her arrival and for the journey to the Llubi property owned by Costos and Smith. The Guardia Civil cleared the way and halted traffic on the motorway
She usually comes to Mallorca without her husband. Only once has the whole family travelled together. In 2010 there was an official trip when Barack Obama was president. They visited the Royal Family who were in residence at the Marivent Palace in Palma at the time.
In 2017 she was seen in Puerto Soller and Puerto Portals and in the following year sailed the waters of Mallorca on the yacht Gladiator.
In 2023, when she stayed with Costos and Smith at their Vinagrella estate in Llubi, there was a party with more than 100 guests, who included Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, and film director George Lucas.
Last year she attended an event at the Cap Vermell Gran Hotel that had been organised by the former ambassador.

Apolonia RiutortWhy should she go to Africa? She can go wherever she wants. What an odd comment
I’m American live not far from the Ambassador’s residence and think it’s Great she comes to visit Mallorca wish them all the Best and have a fantastic time on your journey and wish everyone could possibly leave them Alone !!!
Morgan WilliamsShe sounds like Dick's nightmare woman - a black, intelligent wealthy liberal!
Richard PearsonI suspect you'd qualify as expert on the third world wasteland outside the sophistication of Magaluf. You're not secretly advising these commies are you? That would be blasphemous.
Fancy that. They staying in Morgan’s neck of the woods but they had to go to Calvia, within spitting distance of Magaluf, to get a decent meal.
Michelle Obama, like her a lot. But really, we need to have local police stop local traffic so she can be whizzed through to/from her lunches and whatever else she fancies to do? Really?!
This women always come to Europa for holiday. Why not Africa ?
Not again! Why does this "dude" keep infecting the island with his presence!? For a minute I thought they had put the photos of the British Familly Arrested for Attacking Police in thecwrong article! I mean look at the dude, he looks ready for a fight!!!!! Gotta keep the brawlin' low-lifes away! Hope they checked his case for illegal meat!!!!
