Here at Spain Savvy we’ve been highlighting all our favorites from our site visit to Mallorca, one of Spain’s magnificent Balearic Islands. This time we’re showcasing another one of our fave properties on the island: Castell Son Claret. If you’re looking for luxury castles in Mallorca (and why wouldn’t you?), this is the place to stay.
Location
Castell Son Claret sits on 326 acres of land just 30 minutes outside of Palma, on the outskirts of the village of Es Capdellà. The expansive rural property is far enough from Palma to make you feel like you’re truly escaping the city, but close enough to make an easy transfer from the airport. It’s also ideal for active adventurers (hello biking!) and those needing some natural respite in the Spanish countryside.
This magnificent hotel is housed in one of the most stunning luxury castles in Mallorca. The heart of the property is the 19th century manor house, but historical documents mentioned the estate as early as 1450! There are seven historic buildings on the property, lush gardens, and a particular serenity to the place that lets you truly relax. And the views, of course, are totally unbeatable. The Tramuntana mountains surround the estate, creating a peaceful atmosphere and a unique ambiance different from the beachside spots in other parts of the island.
Design
Rustic luxury is at its finest at Castell Son Claret. The majestic castle was restored with modern furnishings, blending historic design with contemporary interiors.
Rooms & Suites
From suites with a private pool to breathtaking terraces, the rooms at this luxury castle in Mallorca are spectacular. Each is incredibly spacious and well-designed, with large bathrooms and beautiful furnishings.
Dining
Dining at Castell Son Claret is nothing short of outstanding. The three establishments on site offer gourmet experiences using local products, with twists on traditional dishes. Olivera, for example, takes diners on a culinary journey through the nearby Mediterranean Sea and offers a spectacular wine list. And their famous lemon cake in particular was to die for!
Their newest restaurant, Sa Clastra, honors the historic nature of the property with classic dishes, but showcases its modernity with creative reinterpretations. You can also head to the Castell Bar for a cocktail menu inspired by local produce and herbs from the property’s garden, and enjoy them even more on the summertime terrace.
Service
From the front desk to the restaurant, the service at Castell Son Claret was impeccable and luxurious in every way. There was always someone available, and the professional staff consistently took the initiative to ensure we had the perfect stay. Additionally, the concierge was incredibly helpful and willing to attend to any specialized requests. They didn’t miss a beat.
Amenities
Though you could sit on the terrace for a whole week and just enjoy the views, Castell Son Claret also offers number of amenities. For example, the property has a fantastic spa to help you refresh and recover from long travels or the busyness of life. Massages, facials, aromatherapy, and personalized treatments are all inspired by the natural surroundings and the Mediterranean garden. The Hammam spa experience, for example, is a special experience unique to Spain’s cultural link and proximity to Morocco.
Castell Son Claret also offers space for recreational activities like poolside yoga, yoga retreats, and biking in the most ideal setting. And if you’d rather just relax, the outdoor and indoor pools await you.
Castell Son Claret is a total oasis in Mallorca that cannot be missed. It’s clear why it’s one of the leading hotels in the world and one of our fave properties in Spain! When you book your trip to this magnificent island, you’ll definitely want to enjoy one of the best luxury castles in Mallorca. It’s truly a special place.
