Castillo Hotel Son Vida
A castle hotel on the pine clad Son Vida hill above Palma, an adults only Luxury Collection property with grand salons, terraced gardens and sweeping views over the Bay of Palma.
Castillo Hotel Son Vida stands on a wooded rise just above Palma, the capital of Mallorca, looking out across the bay and the city below. It is one of the island's landmark hotels, a turreted castle set in an exclusive residential enclave of villas and golf, and it carries the polish of the Marriott Luxury Collection. For a wedding it offers grandeur, terraces with a view and the convenience of a hotel a short drive from the airport.
It is an adults only hotel, which shapes the guest list, and it suits a couple who want a refined, view led celebration with castle scenery rather than a rustic finca or a beach. Confirm the spaces, the capacity and the current package for your date directly with the hotel.
Castillo Hotel Son Vida is an adults only, five star Luxury Collection hotel set in a castle on the Son Vida hill above Palma in Mallorca, with 164 rooms and suites, several event salons and terraced gardens overlooking the Bay of Palma. The hotel hosts weddings across its indoor salons and outdoor terraces, with capacity that ranges from intimate dinners to larger receptions depending on the space chosen.

Style and setting
The hotel occupies a castle on the Son Vida hill, surrounded by subtropical gardens and the villas and fairways of one of Palma's most exclusive enclaves. Inside, the salons are regal, with chandeliers, antiques and portraits, while the terraces open to long views over the bay. The mood is grand and classic rather than minimal, and it photographs beautifully at sunset.
Capacity and spaces
Weddings use a combination of indoor salons and garden terraces, so the workable guest count depends on the spaces you choose and the format of the day, from an intimate dinner to a larger reception. The hotel has 164 rooms and suites for your party. Because layouts vary, confirm the exact seated capacity for your preferred spaces directly with the hotel.
What it costs
Son Vida prices weddings as packages shaped by the venue, the season, the menu and the guest count, rather than as a single hire fee. As a five star Luxury Collection castle hotel, it sits at the higher end of the Mallorca market, and a full celebration here carries a significant per head cost. Treat any figure as indicative and confirm the current package directly with the hotel.
Adults only policy
The hotel is an adults only property, which means children cannot stay or attend, an important point to weigh against your guest list. For some couples this is a draw, for others a constraint, so factor it in early and raise any questions with the hotel.
