Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel

The Castillo Hotel Son Vida is a 13th-centrury medieval castle set in extensive gardens and offers wonderful views over the bay; it is one kilometre from the Son Vida Golf Course and ten kilometres from the city centre. The hotel features 164 elegant guestrooms with warm-toned decor and traditional, classic furnishings. All include air conditioning, climate control, coffee/tea makers, cable television with pay movies, DVD players, electronic/magnetic keys, minibars, makeup mirrors, wireless Internet connections, bathrobes, slippers and heated floors.

The hotel offers two dining options: Restaurant Es Vi where international cuisine is served in an elegant, bodega-style setting, with views to the outdoor pool and bay, and ceiling-high glass doors which reveal 800 wines from the best appellations, and Restaurant Es Castell which serves Mediterranean cuisine and features a glass façade which affords an impressive view over Palma and the sea. Guests can explore the extensive grounds, relax by the indoor or outdoor swimming pool, and pamper themselves in the Arabella Spa with a sauna, steam bath, cold-water grotto, solarium, invigorating massages and beauty treatments. The championship 18-hole golf course houses the Arabella Golf & Spa Resort Mallorca Golf Academy, and there is an intimate piano bar featuring live music. Business guests can use six conference rooms and the business centre, while practical amenities include a personal banqueting organizer for weddings and other celebrations, a concierge desk, a 24-hour front desk, and valet parking. The hotel is in an excellent position to explore the surrounding area; restaurants and bars are weaved into the ancient buildings in Palma's city centre, three kilometres away, while other attractions include Palma Cathedral - a gothic, limestone building that dominates the seafront, and the 14th- century Castle of Bellver, both five kilometres distance. Palma de Mallorca Airport is approximately 20 kilometres from the hotel, a 25-minute drive.
