History
Castillo Hotel Son Vida traces its origins to a medieval castle on the Son Vida hill above Palma de Mallorca, with roots in the 13th century that passed through the Desmás and Truyols families. Around the turn of the 20th century, Fernando Truyols renovated it into a castle-villa with a tower — reputedly a gift to his wife, Magdalena Villalonga. It opened as a luxury hotel on June 23, 1961, and the island's first golf course, Golf Son Vida, followed in 1964.
The Schörghuber Group bought the property in 1995, renaming it Castillo Hotel Son Vida and joining The Leading Hotels of the World; it closed in January 2005 for renovation, then joined Starwood's Luxury Collection in March 2007 (now under Marriott). Its storied guest list includes Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly, Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, Anthony Quinn, Pedro Almodóvar and Claudia Schiffer.
