Castell Son Claret
Castle retreat ensconced in nature



This sprawling estate comprises seven listed buildings, offering 38 modern rooms and suites which are the result of a 2013 refit that saw this centuries old castle transform into a modern, fit for purpose countryside resort. Sophisticated furnishings give a contemporary air to rooms, and myriad features to the different room classes offer intriguing variety: from the marble bathtubs of the Tower Suites to the spacious open air terraces of the Terrace Demi Suites. Onsite, two-Michelin starred restaurant Zaranda spoils with dishes crafted from market fresh ingredients, as does oasis-like Belles de Claret spa that encompasses both fitness and the more traditional treatments and relaxations in its programme.
