Mallorca ยป Arabella Son Vida Son Vida is the oldest golf course in Mallorca. Designed by Fred Hawtree, it was opened by Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1964 and is now the most prestigious golf course in Mallorca as it is set amongst some of the most luxurious properties on the island. Countless almond, carob, pine and palm trees can be found around the course which has undergone total renovation after being closed throughout the year 2001. To treat yourself to that bit of luxury then why not combine a round or two at Son Vida with a stay at either the Arabella Sheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida or the Hotel Son Vida, both of which are five star hotels. Clients of these two hotels can exclusively use the adjacent Son Muntaner course. It is a long course but is well maintained and exceptionally well run. 25
