Beyond the golf

Life away from the course at Castillo Hotel Son Vida

Quiet estate near Gènova

Son Vida itself is quiet after dark: two bars and four restaurants within walking distance, and that is about it. A short drive changes the picture, with some 300 restaurants and over 100 bars in reach, plus Poble Espanyol and the Coves de Gènova, both 3.4km away. The village of Gènova sits 3.1km down the road. For a beach day, Platja de Cala Major is 4.5km, and there are a couple of marinas at a similar distance. None of that is on the doorstep, though, so tell us who's coming and we'll pick a base to suit the group's evenings.

Son Vida is quiet after dark; evenings out mean a short taxi to Gènova or the coast, not a walk.

Castillo Hotel Son Vida: your questions answered

Is the Castillo Hotel Son Vida worth it for a golf holiday?

Yes, if you want character alongside your golf. The Castillo is a 13th century Mallorcan country house and a member of the Luxury Collection, surrounded by gardens and Son Vida Golf Club, with views over Palma and the Mediterranean. Public rooms display Spanish works of art and the bedrooms are decorated in warm colours. If you are unsure it is the right fit, its sister hotel, the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, is the obvious alternative.

How much is a golf package at the Castillo Hotel Son Vida?

Packages start at £1,300 (≈ €1,525) (≈ $1,745) (≈ CA$2,455) (≈ AU$2,495) (≈ NZ$2,985) (≈ CHF 1,405) (≈ kr 16,885) (≈ kr 16,905) (≈ kr 11,415) per person for seven nights bed and breakfast with five rounds of golf, and green fees are built in as with every Golf Planet Holidays package. That is the only published price for this hotel, so if you want a shorter stay, a different board basis or a group price, send a free enquiry and we will build a quote around your dates.

Is the hotel actually on the Son Vida golf course?

The hotel sits surrounded by Son Vida Golf Club, so the golf is right on the doorstep. Our seven night package includes five rounds with green fees built in, and your named specialist books the tee times, including hard-to-get ones, and arranges transfers where a course is further afield. Tell us which courses you want to play and we will build the itinerary around them.

Where is the Castillo Hotel Son Vida?

The hotel is in Son Vida, Mallorca, surrounded by gardens and Son Vida Golf Club, with views over Palma and the Mediterranean. Gènova is the nearest town, about 3 km away. Your Golf Planet Holidays specialist arranges transfers between the hotel and your courses, so you do not need to plan the driving yourself.

Is the Castillo the same hotel as the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella?

No, they are sister hotels rather than the same property. The Castillo Hotel Son Vida is a 13th century Mallorcan country house and a member of the Luxury Collection, with Spanish works of art in the public rooms and bedrooms in warm colours. If you are weighing one against the other, tell our specialist what matters most to your group and they will steer you towards the better fit.

How do I book the Castillo Hotel Son Vida through Golf Planet Holidays?

Send a free enquiry with your dates and group size; there is no payment or obligation at that stage. A named golf specialist plans the trip, books your tee times and arranges transfers between the hotel and the courses, then your quote arrives by email.
