Resort Overview

Conveniently located less than 10 miles from the Palma airport, Arabella Golf Mallorca has something for everyone: the adults-only Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a 13th-century castle which boasts newly-refurbished rooms and sweeping panoramic views of the bay of Palma; the family-friendly Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel; and the ultra-luxe St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, which the Michelin-starred Es Fum restaurant calls home. Regardless of where you opt to stay, you’re in Mallorca! It’s impossible to go wrong. In addition to 63 holes of golf (three full-size courses, including the renowned Golf Son Muntaner, which hosted the DP World Tour’s Mallorca Open in 2022, and a 9-hole par-3 course), stunning architecture and breathtaking views abound at every turn. Off the course, visitors can enjoy a variety of pursuits. In addition to horseback riding, there are water sports galore, including fly-boarding, jet-skiing, sailing, deep-sea fishing and diving. The hotel concierge can also coordinate a litany of other activities off property, like bike tours of Palma, SUP yoga and even culinary adventures like a paella cooking class, local product tasting at an olive oil farm or a tapas tour.

STAY

The Sheraton’s convenient placement on Golf Son Vida’s 18th hole means course views are abundant from many guest rooms.

3 things to know

  • Best time to go

    Year-round, but favor the shoulder seasons of April-May and September for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
  • Best non-golf amenity

    “Llauts” are boats designed to sail both by sail and by electric motor without the noise and smoke. Available for private sunset charter, the trip also includes delicious chef-prepared creations. With accommodation for eight people and a captain, it’s a summertime must-do.
  • Insider Tip

    While it’s temping to stay within the confines of the resort, renting a car will enable you to explore other parts of Mallorca at your leisure. You can traverse the island from east to west in less than 90 minutes.
