Castell Son Claret opened its doors for the 2025 season on 1 March, coinciding with Balearic Islands Day. The historic castle-turned-luxury hotel marked the occasion by introducing several new features that celebrate Mallorca’s natural beauty and rich culinary traditions.
The hotel launched the season with a renovated pool bar and a new panoramic terrace, offering guests stunning views across the swimming pool and surrounding Mallorcan countryside. These additions create perfect spots for outdoor lunches and sunset cocktails in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
“Our focus this season is on connecting guests with the natural environment while maintaining our commitment to sustainability,” said a spokesperson for the hotel. “The new outdoor spaces allow visitors to fully appreciate the beauty of our location.”
The hotel’s gardens and orchard play a central role in the guest experience. Elements from these spaces appear in cocktails at the Castell Bar, treatments at the Bellesa de Claret spa, and even in the hotel’s own olive oil, first pressed in 2023. The property continues its agricultural heritage, which dates back to 1450, through a strengthened partnership with the ESMENT Foundation. This collaboration promotes workplace inclusion by sourcing products grown by people with functional diversity.
At Olivera restaurant, the Mediterranean-inspired menu showcases fresh ingredients, house-baked bread, and olive oil produced on the estate. Diners can enjoy these authentic Mallorcan flavours on the restaurant’s outdoor terrace.
The hotel has also enhanced its sustainability credentials. Since September, guest amenities have featured products from local brand VITI Vinci, made with plants grown on a nearby Calvià estate and packaged in recycled minibar bottles. The Bellesa de Claret spa now offers new treatments using essential oils and traditional techniques.
For guests seeking activities beyond relaxation, the hotel provides private tastings of Mallorca’s finest wines. More adventurous visitors can explore Galatzó mountain on one of the island’s most scenic E-MTB routes, organised in partnership with a local company in Es Capdellà.
“Wind and Memory”: Sa Clastra’s New Michelin-Starred Menu
Perhaps the most exciting development at Castell Son Claret this season is the new tasting menu at Sa Clastra, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant. Chef Jordi Cantó has created “Wind and Memory,” a culinary journey inspired by Mallorca’s nine winds.
Cantó, part of a new generation of Mallorcan creative talents, has designed a menu that honours both the estate’s historical soul and the island’s culinary heritage. Traditionally, Mallorca recognises eight principal winds: Tramuntana, Gregal, Llevant, Xaloc, Migjorn, Llebeig, Ponent, and Mestral. Cantó adds a ninth—the Embat, a sea breeze that brings freshness to his gastronomic vision.
Sa Clastra welcomed its first diners of the season on 13 March, offering guests the chance to experience this unique wind-inspired culinary concept.
