Golf Resort of the Year 2025 - ARABELLA Golf Resort Son Vida Mallorca

Arabella Golf Resort Mallorca

Imagine the soft Mallorcan light filtering through the terrace doors as you slowly wake up. A wonderful day of golf begins as you look out over lush greens, pine-covered hillsides and the calm waters near Palma. This is what staying at Arabella Golf Resort Mallorca feels like, not simply because of its awards, but because everything comes together: high-quality golf, beautiful surroundings, relaxation and genuine holiday enjoyment.

Why This Resort Is a Top Choice

For an active golfer between roughly 40 and 75, a holiday is about more than just the round. It is also about relaxation, memorable moments, an excellent location, hassle-free equipment, consistent quality and, of course, a little luxury. At Arabella Golf Resort Mallorca, you will find exactly that.
In 2025, the resort was named "Golf Resort of the Year 2025" by IAGTO. This is a significant accolade, with more than 700 travel experts from 69 countries voting for the best destinations for exceptional golf experiences.

What does that mean for you? Expectations are high, but if you are looking for a reliable, high-quality golf destination, you are in exactly the right place.

Premium Golf under the Mallorcan Sun

The Arabella resort features three 18-hole championship courses: Son Vida, Son Muntaner and Son Quint, offering a total of 63 holes across the entire complex. Every Arabella Golf Mallorca course has its own distinctive character.

• Son Vida: the historic course, opened in 1964. Here, golfing heritage meets sea views, narrow tee shots and challenging holes. It is an excellent choice for players who enjoy a strategic test combined with beautiful scenery.
• Son Muntaner: challenging, modern and popular with ambitious players. Precision is rewarded through water hazards and intelligent course design.
• Son Quint: slightly more accessible, with a more open layout. It is ideal if you prefer a relaxed and enjoyable round of golf.

A dedicated 9-hole pitch-and-putt facility called "Palma Pitch & Putt" also makes the resort suitable for travelling companions and anyone who would prefer a shorter round.

A Hassle-Free Holiday, from Rental Clubs to Sports Luggage

One of the key advantages of a golf holiday is being able to start playing without hauling heavy luggage around. Worried about flight problems involving your equipment, damaged clubs or transport complications? None of that needs to concern you here. Instead, everything can be arranged smoothly so that you can enjoy your holiday without unnecessary hassle.
By renting clubs locally in Mallorca, you do not need to bring your own. Simply rent from us and start playing. The problems associated with taking heavy sports equipment on a flight disappear completely, leaving nothing between you and your game, your relaxation and the moment itself.
Imagine how effortless that feels. If convenience matters to you, everything falls into place here.

Why the "Golf Resort of the Year 2025" Award Matters

The IAGTO award is more than an empty title. It shows that the resort performs at a consistently high level, both on and off the golf course. The service, facilities, experience and infrastructure all work together.
On the official website, the CEO says: "This recognition is a milestone … every day we strive to offer a unique golfing experience in an incomparable setting." For you as a guest, that means booking more than an ordinary holiday with a few rounds of golf. It is a conscious choice for an exceptional overall experience and proven quality.

Your Perfect Stay and How to Plan It

Imagine your next week like this: you arrive and check into the elegant Castillo Hotel Son Vida or the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel. Both enjoy excellent locations close to the main attractions and offer the style and comfort you need to feel at home. Your stay can also earn Marriott Bonvoy points.
Early on the first day, you enjoy coffee and breakfast, collect your rental clubs and head to the first tee. Will you play Son Muntaner or perhaps Son Vida? That depends on how energetic you feel. Afterwards, you can eat at the clubhouse restaurant, look out across the fairways and enjoy views over the wide valley.
The following day, take things a little easier with a round at Son Quint. Afterwards, unwind in the spa, stroll around the grounds or simply enjoy the tranquillity beside the pool.
A tournament weekend can also be included in your stay, perhaps with a special event or club competition taking place. The resort is particularly well suited to discerning, well-travelled guests who enjoy golf as part of a complete holiday experience.
In the evening, excellent food, relaxed surroundings and the sunset over the island turn the golf trip into much more than sport. It becomes a genuine experience.

Golf in Mallorca with Style and a Competitive Spirit

Whether you are thinking about golf tournaments in Mallorca or would simply like to experience one live, Arabella Golf Resort offers the right setting.
With three courses close to Palma and an international reputation, the resort is ideally suited to competitions and qualifying rounds. Picture yourself on the tee with spectators behind you, palm trees moving in the breeze and the sea in view. This could be your moment on the course.
Those who prefer to watch will also feel at home, whether on the clubhouse terrace, at the prize ceremony or simply soaking up the golfing atmosphere.

Sustainability & a Forward-Looking Approach

A modern holiday is no longer only about the moment itself, but also about how it is experienced. At Arabella, environmental responsibility is a priority, including the careful use of electricity and water, the protection of nature and technically advanced facilities. A complimentary shuttle bus operates between the hotels and golf courses, helping to reduce traffic, while the grounds remain closely connected to the natural landscape. These details are particularly appealing to guests from their mid-forties onwards.
The resort demonstrates that outstanding golf can comfortably coexist with nature, environmental responsibility and beautiful design.

For You: How to Make Your Stay Unforgettable

💡 1: Book what you need early and reserve your rental clubs at the same time. This keeps your trip relaxed.
💡 2: Stay directly at the resort if possible. You will have shorter journeys, remain close to the courses and save valuable time.
💡 3: Combine golf with relaxation and excellent food. Play a round in the morning, unwind at the spa in the afternoon and enjoy a fine dinner in the evening.
💡 4: Take part or simply watch. The tournament facilities are there and the resort creates the right atmosphere.
💡 5: Check the weather before travelling. Mallorca has an exceptionally long golf season, making it ideal if you are looking for both excellent playing conditions and plenty of sunshine.
