Rooms and suites look out over either the estate grounds or the Bay of Palma, and those sea-facing views are a real highlight. Interiors are classic and elegant rather than ultra-modern, with the sort of finish you'd expect from a leading five-star hotel. If you're travelling as a couple, a standard room is more than comfortable. If you want extra space for lounging between rounds, upgrade to a suite for separate seating and a bigger bathroom.
On the facilities front, the spa is widely regarded as a standout on the island, especially if you're playing a few days on the bounce. Treatments use Maria Galland products alongside Mallorcan brand Demares, and there's plenty here for recovery and switch-off. You've also got an indoor pool, sauna and a well-equipped gym, plus a lovely outdoor pool set in terraced gardens for downtime in the sun. The outdoor pool is one of the most photogenic spots on the property, surrounded by graded terraces and manicured gardens that make it a proper retreat after a long round.
Dining is suitably high-end. Es Castell Restaurant serves refined Mediterranean cuisine with panoramic views towards Palma and the bay, the kind of setting that makes every meal feel like an occasion. The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients and classic technique, delivering dishes that are elegant without being fussy. Es Vi is the spot for a pre-dinner glass or a post-round nightcap, backed by a strong cellar by Mallorca standards, with around 400 bottles. It's the perfect place to settle in after golf, whether you're comparing scorecards over a glass of Rioja or planning the next day's tee times.
The hotel works equally well as a pure golf base or a more rounded Mallorca escape. You're close enough to Palma to explore the old town, harbour and restaurant scene, but far enough removed to feel like a genuine retreat. It's a handy set-up for a long weekend: land, transfer, check in and you can be on the first tee quickly. For golfers who want top-tier accommodation, immediate course access and the kind of facilities that make a stay feel genuinely special, the Castillo delivers.
