THE HISTORY
The Castell’s first official mention in 1450 describes five separate properties. When Don Gabriel Claret owned the estate in the late 1800’s, he decided to unite all these properties into one estate – Castell Son Claret – which remains at its current size of 132 ha. 100 years later, stables and smaller buildings were added; the Castell’s current blue print, as well as its iconic façade, was then established. After the affectionate restoration and reconstruction by its owners Christine and Klaus-Michael Kühne, the Castell was opened as a luxury hotel in May 2013.

ROOMS & SUITES
The Castell Son Claret estate unites seven historic buildings with the 19th century manor house at its heart. All 19 suites and 22 rooms of our country resort share a welcoming atmosphere of serenity, generosity and abundant personal space.

Due to the original blueprint, all 43 suites and rooms differ in size and layout – a testament to their particular charm. They are separated into nine categories and feature superb views of the estate, the landscaped gardens, the mountains or the hotel patio.

The main castle building features 22 guest rooms, while a further 19 rooms are located in the former stables, grouped around a Moorish fountain reminiscent of a small village.
