Castell Son Claret
A private castle estate under the Tramuntana, polished and serene, that can be taken entirely for yourselves a short drive from Palma.
Castell Son Claret is a privately owned estate of around 132 hectares at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains, near the village of Es Capdella and about half an hour from Palma. The restored castle holds a small luxury hotel of around 40 rooms and suites, with historic gardens, fountains and a Michelin starred restaurant, Sa Clastra. For a Mallorca wedding that feels grand yet private, it is one of the island's strongest choices.
The honest counsel is that this is a refined country estate rather than a beach venue, so it suits couples who want gardens, mountains and quiet over a seafront. Exclusive use is required above a certain guest count, which is the real appeal here, the whole estate to your party. Marry here for privacy and polish, and plan it with someone who knows the property well.
The estate lies in a green valley near Es Capdella, in the southwest of Mallorca, with the Serra de Tramuntana rising behind it. The castle and its courtyards sit among historic gardens of fountains, terraces and old trees, and the grounds run to around 132 hectares with an organic kitchen garden that feeds the restaurants. It is countryside, yet only about thirty minutes from Palma and the airport.
For a wedding, the gardens and courtyards carry the ceremony and dinner, with the castle's halls held in reserve for a reception or cooler evening. Around 40 rooms and suites sleep a core party on site, and exclusive use of the whole estate is possible, which gives a private celebration across several days.
An estate buyout rewards a planner who knows the property, the kitchen and the suppliers of Mallorca. We will introduce one who has worked the island for years.

What it costs
Pricing is on application and set per event. As an indicative July 2025 guide, an exclusive use castle wedding here across several nights, with catering and production, is a six figure commitment in euros for a full celebration, with smaller weddings priced below that. Treat it as a range to confirm directly with the estate.
The legal bit
Civil weddings in Spain have residency and documentation requirements that many international couples find easier to handle at home, holding a symbolic ceremony at the estate. A planner will confirm the current rules for your nationality.
Capacity in practice
The estate hosts intimate weddings and celebrations of up to around 120 guests, with exclusive use required above a certain number. The right figure depends on the spaces and the layout, so confirm it for your plan with the estate.
When to marry here
May, June, September and October give warm, settled days without the peak heat and crowds of high summer. The gardens are at their best in late spring and early autumn, so favour the shoulder months for an outdoor ceremony.
