Nadal, the 19-time grand slam champion, tied the knot with 31-year-old Perello at La Fortaleza, with a reported 350 guests invited to a private ceremony.
Juan Carlos I, the king of Spain from 1975 to 2014, was believed to be among those in attendance while the Michelin-star chef, Quique Dacosta, was reportedly in charge of catering.
Nadal, 33, met his wife through his younger sister Maribel, a childhood friend of Perello.
Spanish media reported back in January that Nadal proposed last May during a trip to Rome. The couple had apparently kept the engagement private.
The tennis star had previously talked about wanting to start a family.
"Obviously, I have the intention of forming a family," he previously told UK publication Hello! in an interview. "I love children and I would like my children to do what they like."
