Mallorca Golf Courses - Castillo Hotel Son Vida, A Luxury Collection Hotel

Wonderful, challenging and scenic golf course, with open rolling fairways, surrounded by pine trees, and set into the hills overlooking the Bay of Alcudia, with Minorca island in the distance.

Alcanada is the only Mallorca golf course directly by the sea - the lighthouse on the island of Alcanada is just 150 metres from the course and forms part of the logo of the club of Alcanada.

The golf course of Alcanada is located in an environmentally sensitive area - the golf clubhouse is located within a century-old finca or estate. The whole scene is tranquil and inspiring for a most enjoyable golfing experience. Owned by a member of the famous Porsche family.

“I really liked the course. It’s a bit like Augusta” – Masters winner Ian Woosnam

Son Gual is a challenging, well thought out course amid gently rolling terrain and with plenty of strategically placed bunkers. The course is designed to be generous, but stretching to 6621m off the back of four tees and with a variety of water hazards it can test the best golfer.

The spectacular layout winds through hills, olive groves and vineyards, with neighbouring fields of colourful wild flowers and some of the best views in Mallorca.

Son Gual is laid out in two very distinctive halves, the front nine running along the extremity of the estate, with the second encompassed within its centre. The estate's Palacio is perched atop the course, guarding the estate.

The large greens, with subtle breaks and borrows, are designed to entice golfers into going for the pin. Cleverly crafted approach and run-off areas, however, demand your concentration and short game skills.

The Son Muntaner golf course is a natural setting within the historic Son Vida estate – surrounded by a monastery and the Castillo hotel, with stone walls, olive trees and wetlands creating an authentic Mallorcan experience.

The fairways are generous, except for the finishing holes which test the accuracy late in the round. The course is designed to be in bloom all year round with a wide array of flowers so horticulturalists will be in their element.

Son Muntaner is considered as the pick or the 3 courses that belong to the Son Vida estate – Son Quint and Son Vida being the other 2 courses. Son Muntaner is the only course which requires guests to stay on-site, at the Sheraton Arabella or sister hotels.

Modern course, with contoured greens and generous fairways. Surrounded by the forested hills, with a welcome absence of buildings.

Due to its plateau location, Son Quint also offers fantastic views over the bay and city of Palma.

The Son Vida golf course is an enjoyable resort course, with the first tee situated within a very short walk of the Sheraton Arabella Hotel in the north of Palma.

The first nine holes are tree-lined, with some elevated greens and tees. The second nine opens out, with flat terrain and some testing holes with lakes and streams to be navigated before reaching the impressive clubhouse.

Son Vida was the first course built on Mallorca in 1964. There are some great views, including the spectacular cathedral which overlooks the sixth green, as well as the mountains and Palma Bay.

Son Vida is relatively short in length, but narrow fairways and small greens mean it is still poses a challenge.
