Mar-a-Lago, Mansion estate in Florida.
Mar-a-Lago is a large estate in Palm Beach that extends from the Atlantic shoreline to the Lake Worth Lagoon. The main building dates from the 1920s and displays Spanish-Mediterranean style with terracotta roofs, decorative arches, and Italian marble floors, surrounded by manicured lawns and garden areas plus a private beach club with cabanas and a swimming pool.
The estate was built between 1924 and 1927 for wealthy businesswoman and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post, who used it as an elegant winter retreat. After Post's death, Donald Trump acquired the property in 1985 and transformed it into a private club for affluent members.
The estate takes its name from its position between two bodies of water and reflects the original owner's love of lavish entertaining. The spaces are used today for social gatherings and receptions, continuing the tradition of elegant social life.
The estate operates as a private club open only to members, with limited access for visitors without membership. On certain occasions, guided tours or special events take place where some of the architecture and grounds can be viewed.
The estate includes sports facilities such as six tennis courts and a croquet court, making it a complete recreational complex. The architecture also contains hidden features like bomb shelters, showing how the original owner combined protection with luxury.
