If you’re still picturing Novak Djokovic hanging out in a Monte Carlo penthouse, watching the yachts from a balcony, you’re basically living in 2019. Things have changed. A lot.
The greatest of all time doesn't just stay in one place, but his "home base" has shifted across the Mediterranean in a way that surprised even his most die-hard fans. Honestly, keeping up with his real estate portfolio is almost as exhausting as trying to return his serve.
Where Does Djokovic Live Right Now?
As of early 2026, the big news isn't Spain or Monaco. It’s Greece. Specifically, Novak and his wife Jelena have officially made Glyfada, a swanky coastal suburb of Athens, their primary family headquarters.
It wasn't exactly a move anyone saw coming a few years back. For a long time, the narrative was all about his massive nine-bedroom villa in Marbella, Spain. But after some reported friction back home in Serbia—rumors of a "smear campaign" and political tension following his support of student protests—the Djokovic clan decided they needed a fresh start.
They’ve moved the kids, Stefan and Tara, into a private school in the southern suburbs of Athens. You'll often see him training at the Tatoi Club or hitting balls with Stefan at the courts in Kavouri. It’s a vibe. The Greeks have welcomed him with open arms, and he’s even looking into opening a tennis academy in the area.
The Mediterranean Triple Threat
While Athens is the "now," Novak is a global citizen in the truest sense. He hasn't just abandoned his other spots. He’s got what you might call a "rotation."
- Marbella, Spain: This is still his crown jewel. Located in the exclusive Sierra Blanca estate, this €10 million Moroccan-style mansion is where he spent the bulk of the pandemic. It’s got everything: a private tennis court (obviously), a cinema room, and a spa that probably costs more than my entire house. He did run into some drama recently with the local council over unlicensed renovations—apparently, even a 24-time Grand Slam champ has to follow zoning laws about basement parking and porch heights.
- Belgrade, Serbia: He still owns a stunning penthouse in New Belgrade, right on the shores of Pavlovac Lake. It’s his roots. Even though he’s moved his main residency to Greece, he’s frequently back in Serbia to see family and check on the Novak Tennis Center. Interestingly, he recently put his lakefront "retirement" home on the rental market for a staggering $17,500 a night. So, if you've got twenty grand burning a hole in your pocket, you can sleep where the GOAT sleeps.
- Monte Carlo, Monaco: This was his home for 15 years. He still keeps a place here because, well, it’s Monaco. Most top-tier players use it as a training base because the Monte-Carlo Country Club is legendary and the tax benefits aren't exactly a downside.
Why the Move to Greece Matters
You’ve gotta wonder why a guy who can live anywhere chose Glyfada. It’s not just about the weather. Greece offers a specific tax residency program—basically capping taxes on foreign income at €100,000 a year for 15 years. For someone with Novak’s prize money and endorsement deals (Lacoste, Hublot, Asics), that is a massive financial play.
But it's also cultural. Novak has gone on record saying Greece feels like home because the values are so similar to Serbia. He wants his kids to grow up in a "beneficial environment," away from the intense political fishbowl that Belgrade became for him recently.
The American Outposts
When the tour hits the hard courts, Novak isn't staying in hotels. He’s got a couple of high-end retreats in the States that most people forget about.
In New York, he owns two separate apartments in SoHo at 565 Broome Street. They aren't connected, which is kinda weird, but they were designed by Renzo Piano and feature floor-to-ceiling glass. If you're walking through SoHo during the US Open, there’s a decent chance he’s a few stories above you.
He also had a beautiful place in Miami Beach at Eighty Seven Park. However, real estate records show he actually offloaded that one for a solid profit a while back. He’s narrowed his focus to the European side of the pond for his main living quarters.
The Reality of a Global Real Estate Empire
Let's be real: "Where does Djokovic live?" is a trick question.
On any given Tuesday, he could be in his Belgrade penthouse, his Marbella villa, or his new Glyfada home. He’s built a life that moves with the sun and the ATP calendar.
What’s clear is that his move to Athens marks a new chapter. He’s transitioning from a guy who lives where the taxes are lowest (Monaco) or where the training is easiest (Spain), to a father who is picking a place based on where his kids can go to school and have a "normal" life. Or as normal as life can be when your dad is the most successful tennis player in history.
If you want to track his movements, keep an eye on his training sessions in the southern suburbs of Athens. That’s where the heart of the operation is now.
The most practical way to keep up with Novak's current location is to monitor the tournament entry lists and his official social media tags in Athens, as he has become a frequent fixture in the local Greek sports scene.
