Set within the private, leafy enclave of Son Vida, the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel occupies a genuinely beautiful spot, surrounded by manicured gardens and with views across the Arabella Son Vida course. The five-star rating feels earned, particularly now the rooms and public areas have had a refresh, and the 93 rooms feel contemporary, comfortable and properly luxurious.
All rooms follow a warm Mediterranean design, with quality furnishings, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, in-room safes and well-appointed bathrooms stocked with decent amenities. The standard rooms are spacious enough for a golf break, but if you're travelling as a small group or simply want more space, the suites are worth the upgrade. They offer separate living areas, the option to add extra beds, and a few additional touches that make a difference after a long day on the course.
Rooms feel geared towards golfers, too. There's enough space to spread out after a round, cool off, shower and reset before dinner. If you're travelling with mates, the suites make life easier, particularly if you're juggling tee times, transfer pickups and the usual 'who's got the scorecard?' chaos.
Suites give you that extra breathing room, with a separate sitting area and flexibility if you need an extra bed. If you're the organiser of a small group, that extra space is worth it for keeping everyone comfortable between rounds.
For something memorable, book the Hole In One Suite. It overlooks the 18th hole of Son Vida, and the private balcony is the perfect spot to watch the final groups come in while enjoying a drink. It's one of those details that turns a good trip into a great one.
Food & Drink
Restaurant Es Carbó is the main dining room, open for breakfast and dinner, with views across the Arabella Son Vida course. The menu draws on traditional Mediterranean flavours but also brings in Turkish, Lebanese, Moroccan, Italian and Greek influences, so there's plenty of variety if you're staying for a few nights. Breakfast is well stocked, and dinner feels relaxed without being casual.
For something more Spanish, head to Bodega del Green, the hotel's tapas restaurant, which serves lunch and dinner. It's a good spot for a lighter meal or a more informal evening. If you fancy keeping things simple, tapas here is the easy win.
Bar 18+uno sits in the lobby and stays open until 1am, making it the natural place for a pre-dinner cocktail or a nightcap once you've settled the day's bets. The atmosphere is low-key, the drinks are well made, and it's a comfortable space to unwind.
Leisure Facilities
The Shine Spa is the standout leisure feature, offering a full menu of treatments alongside an indoor pool, whirlpool, two outdoor pools, sauna, steam room and experience showers. If you've played golf in the Mallorcan sun, a session here will sort you out.
For those who can't sit still, there's a beach volleyball court and an outdoor tennis court, both well maintained and available to guests throughout the day.
If you want to build a Mallorca break around the Arabella courses, this is one of the easiest bases to do it from. Speak to us and we'll line up the tee times and the right room set-up for your group.
