Castillo Hotel Son Vida by Luxury Collection Hotel

Castillo Hotel Son Vida by Luxury Collection Hotel

Castillo Hotel Son Vida opened in 1961 five kilometres from central Palma de Mallorca, close enough to three golf courses, the Arabella Golf Courses, Son Muntaner and Son Quint, that guests can walk to a tee time rather than book a shuttle. The hotel is adults only, with a minimum age of twelve, which rules it out for anyone travelling with young children. Inside, 164 rooms spread across eight floors, running from Classic doubles to suites with balconies and bathtubs, most looking over the bay or the garden, all fitted with air conditioning, a minibar, and bathrobes for the walk to one of two pools, an indoor pool and an outdoor one. The spa offers a sauna, a steam room, and massage treatments, and a small library gives readers somewhere quiet that isn't the bar. Golfers have a gym, a tennis court, and a yoga space beyond the courses themselves; those in town for work get a conference hall and a business centre. Es Castell, one of two restaurants, runs alongside a poolside bar and a cafe for anyone who wants less ceremony with their meals. Staff speak English, Spanish, Italian, German, and French, and the property holds Green Key certification for its environmental practices. It suits couples and solo travellers who golf, who want a quiet pool, or who simply prefer a hotel without children underfoot; it will frustrate anyone expecting to walk into Palma's old town, since the centre sits a five-kilometre taxi ride away. The three golf courses at the door are what nothing else nearby offers on foot. Castillo Hotel Son Vida sits five kilometres from central Palma de Mallorca, walking distance from three golf courses, and admits guests aged twelve and up only. Its 164 rooms come with balconies and minibars, backed by an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a sauna, a steam room, and a library.
