Diandra Douglas

Diandra de Morrell Douglas (1956) has been spending her summers in Mallorca since she was a baby. S’Estaca, the house she half-owns with her ex-husband, Michael Douglas, is a privileged space where the real luxury is the environment. The gorgeous 13-year-old twins Hudson and Hawk, from the relationship that Diandra had with Zachary Hampton Bacon III, and their 12-year-old Russian sister Imara, enjoy sea outings for water skiing, playing on their Donut Diandra – who has always been active in social causes – will start a political campaign in the United States, coinciding with the publication of her eldest son Cameron’s book. Based on his life and experience in prison, where he spent seven years for possession of drugs, it aims to be an instrument of change. An initiative that his father Michael will also support, as both parents have managed to soften their relationships. Diandra is the daughter of a Swiss-American diplomatic father and an Anglo-French mother. “A molotov cocktail,” she insinuates, remembering her mother – who lived between Paris and Washington DC and came every summer to the Club Náutico in Palma to sail, coinciding with Don Juan Carlos. Her childhood memories allude to the house of Pedro Salas with his horses and the Mallorcan black mule, and escaping from her home Miramar to S’Estaca to go on the Zodiac that Yannick Vu and her husband had, or to eat at her favourite restaurant, Ca’s Patró March. She studied sporadically at CIDE school, although she was interned in a Swiss school until arriving at Georgetown University, where she met Michael Douglas as a scholarship holder in The White House, and married him a few months later. She was 19 years old and Michael 32. The sale was originated by both of their children, who are already adolescents and beginning to lead a life of their own. Those of Michael and Catherine Zeta-Jones prefer to be in Bermuda, where 400 years of history tie them to the Douglas family, and Cameron will move to California. Adding that Hudson and Hawk’s father lives in the Hamptons, Diandra has planned something “in the middle”, her estate in Millford. Nevertheless, Diandra, who has made Mallorca famous amongst the most exclusive international society, will always find reasons to return.
