'This 13th-century castle turned luxury hotel sits majestically on Son Vida hill, offering panoramic views of Palma Bay and the Mediterranean from Mallorca's most exclusive neighborhood.'
What's Special?
Built as a fortress in 1260, Castillo Hotel Son Vida is Spain's first castle hotel and one of Europe's most historic luxury properties. The hotel features original medieval architecture including stone walls, arched doorways, and ancient towers, while being surrounded by three championship golf courses designed by legends like José María Olazábal.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a tower suite for the ultimate castle experience – these rooms are located in the original medieval towers and offer 360-degree views of the island, plus you'll have exclusive access to the hotel's private helipad for dramatic arrivals.
Don't Miss
The hotel's Es Castell restaurant terrace at sunset for unparalleled views of Palma Cathedral and the bay, plus a round of golf at the neighboring Son Vida Golf course – the oldest course in Mallorca, where you can literally tee off in the shadow of a 750-year-old castle.
