Two years after he died in a tragic plane crash at age 53, a sprawling Mallorca estate owned by the late fitness mogul Rainer Schaller has just hit the market for the first time. Nestled amid the foothills of Spain’s Serra de Tramuntana mountains, the entire spread is asking a substantial $78 million.
The former founder, owner and CEO of RSG Group, which operates fitness brands such as Gold’s Gym, McFit and John Reed in more than 30 countries, began assembling the compound back in 2016, per listing agent Alby Euesden of The Agency. Five structures connected by manicured gardens were completed in 2022, with three more buildings currently under development set to come online next year.
The estate’s bohemian interiors are furnished with an mix of African and Indonesian accents.

“The inspiration for building such a property came from the owner’s desire to entertain family, friends and business associates … to build not just a family home, but a dream retreat of wellness and relaxation,” says Euesden. “Taking inspiration from his travels, Mr. Schaller combined the traditional style of Mallorcan rustic fincas with furniture and decor from around the world, including Indonesia and the African continent and Indonesia. As for the layout, the idea was to provide guests with the utmost privacy, whilst encouraging them to gather and meet at beautifully designed common areas.”
Known as Torre del Sol, the 61-acre spread features two private villas with a combined 16 bedrooms and a matching number of baths, as well as heated floors and high-end sound and TV systems. There’s also a duo of entertaining spaces—one a pool house boasting a spacious dining area, a caterer’s kitchen, a cigar lounge, and two barbecue areas, and the other a sports pavilion with an entertaining space overlooking basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts. Rounding it all out is a decked-out relaxation spa with a sauna and massage rooms.

Especially standing out are a fireside dining room, a gourmet kitchen, and numerous rooftop terraces with sweeping views of the mountains and Mediterranean Sea. Other highlights include a 65-foot infinity pool and spa surrounded by palm trees, as well as a private chapel, a wine cellar and tasting room, a game room, an indoor-outdoor gym, an alpaca sanctuary, a vineyard, multiple water wells, and a solar power system.
Schaller, who amassed his RSG fitness empire and $250 million fortune from scratch, opened his first McFit gym in Germany in the late 1990s and later acquired Dallas-based Gold’s Gym for $100 million after the company filed for bankruptcy during the Covid-19 pandemic. He died along with his partner, her daughter, their son, an employee, and the pilot in October 2022 when a plane they were taking to a vacation crashed off the coast of Costa Rica.
