Travel & Golf Recommendations

Majorca, Spain: Castillo Hotel Son Vida

The Hotel will be closed for renovations from January 30, 2005 to February 03, 2006

Majorca has become a second home to many famous people such as actor Michael Douglas or super model Claudia Schiffer. For those visitors who are looking for supreme comfort, Majorca offers a wide range of first class and deluxe accommodation. But there is only one luxury hotel - following the general opinion - which is characterized by its tradition of hospitality excellence. The Castillo Hotel Son Vida is one of the best-known hotels in Spain and it's also a member of the hotel association "The Leading Hotels of the World".


Castillo Hotel Son Vida

Only ten minutes away from the centre of Palma and 15 minutes from the airport, the Castillo Hotel Son Vida is located within the noble urbanization of Son Vida, surrounded by subtropical gardens and by the Son Vida golf course.

Passing through a medieval looking gate the driveway leads to the entrance hall of the Castillo Hotel Son Vida, located in a magnificent thirteenth century castle.

The 'medieval castle' character of the Castillo Hotel Son Vida is the result of a restoration carried out between 1900 and 1905. In July 1961 the Castillo Hotel Son Vida was officially inaugurated and since 1995 the hotel belongs to the Schörghuber Group, together with the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel, the Mardavall Hotel & Spa and the golf courses Son Vida and Son Muntaner.


Poolside View

But what is the secret that over the past 40 years the Castillo Hotel Son Vida has become a favorite address for the international high society, artists and politicians. Tradition and romance - this is more than a slogan that characterizes the Castillo Hotel Son Vida. Sophisticated atmosphere, impeccable service and exclusive ambience, this is the combination which makes the Castillo Hotel Son Vida unique. And so it's not surprising that the director personally invites new guests to a welcome cocktail reception.

Son Muntaner Golf Course

For those who play golf, the guests of the Castillo Hotel Son Vida can choose between Son Vida golf course and Son Muntaner golf course, which is just a two minutes' drive away. Son Vida golf course is the oldest course on Majorca and nestled between the rich and prestigious villas of Son Vida urbanization.

The 18-hole golf course of Son Muntaner - opened in 2000 - is characterized by its beautiful landscape, well manicured fairways and large greens. On hole No. 13, a thousand year old olive tree marks one of the course's highlights.

Hole No. 13

Son Muntaner golf course which has top environmental credentials is perfectly maintained. A cutting-edge irrigation and drainage system with individual sprinkler controls already permits targeted and above all environmentally-friendly irrigation with cleaned waste water.

Another reason that Son Muntaner golf course is in excellent shape results from the restriction that only hotel guests (Castillo Hotel Son Vida, Arabella Hotel Son Vida and the Mardavall) and members are allowed to play here.
