Reached via a long, tree-lined drive through 132 hectares of private estate, Castell Son Claret sits within formal gardens, olive groves and the sheltered valley of Es Capdellà. The distance from the road creates an immediate sense of separation. The estate’s history reaches back to 1450, with the present house later rebuilt as a noble residence, home to a Michelin-starred restaurant and a spa offering yoga, meditation, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Children are welcome, though the atmosphere remains largely adult — best suited to couples and travellers drawn to gardens, dining and the slower pace of estate living.
