2 MALLORCA Mallorca s central location in the Mediterranean means the island is blessed with a pleasant climate with more than 2,700 hours of sunshine a year. While temperatures average around 26 C between May and September, they rarely drop beneath 13 C in early spring. Castell Son Claret is situated in the foothills of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Sierra de Tramuntana. Throughout the season, the unspoilt nature of the estate and the expansive gardens form an integral part of the unique Castell experience. At Castell, you ll find the perfect base to pursue your daily sport routines, organise your exclusive boot camp or retreat.

3 HOTEL Planning your sport or yoga camp at the Castell might feel like escaping the real world, yet this piece of Mallorcan paradise is very well connected. Castell Son Claret is located just outside the village of Calvià in the west of the island, 32 km from Palma International Airport (PMI). The capital Palma can be reached in 30 minutes, and it takes only 20 minutes to get to one of the many beautiful beaches where you can tip your toes in the crystal clear sea. Or, if you feel like exploring breath-taking mountains, the UNESCO World Heritage listed Sierra de Tramuntana is a short stroll from the hotel away. Most of the suites and rooms (23) are situated in the main castle building, while further 15 can be found in the former stables, grouped around an ancient Arabic fountain and private patio. Many rooms have their own private garden or pool. Selected suites and rooms can be interconnected for families and larger parties. We extend the same cordial welcome to our guests, as we would to friends invited into our home Björn Spaude, Managing Director 3
