Castell Son Claret also known as The Castle
Son Claret is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. It is a setting of harmony, a sanctuary of purist aesthetics in close accord with ever present nature, where one can breathe freely and let thoughts wander. Here your experience is truly unique and unforgettable. Son Claret is 20 mins from the airport, 10 mins to the beach, 10 mins to the city of Palma, and 8 minutes to both Port Adriano and Puerto Portals, where there is plenty of shopping and dining on the water. It is also situated perfectly for cycling.
The rooms have exquisite natural oak-wood flooring and sand-tone marble, creating a contemporary, elegant appearance. The bed, dressed in the highest quality cotton linen, offers a cloud-like sleeping experience. All rooms boast oversized bathrooms, for the feeling of space and luxury. Handpicked marble tiles cover the floors and walls all with natural daylight and windows onto the grounds. Bespoke towels, noble robes of terry lining and silk skin, organic amenities and accessories, as well as lovingly presented flowers from the gardens leave nothing to be desired. Oversized walk-in rain showers round off the wholesome experience. The generous 325-acre resort of Son Claret claims a powerful panorama of the Tramuntana Mountains, where much of our cycling will take place. At poolside, guests can watch the sun set nightly over these mountains, while enjoying a soothing glass of Cava ;)

Laura met Guido during her solo Eat Pray Love trip to Spain in 2010. Her schedule included Girona, Mallorca, Sevilla and Madrid. After cycling on her own for 5 phenomenal days in Girona, she flew to Mallorca and checked in to a 15 th century manor house, converted to a luxury hotel. From their website she rented a bike and a guide to show her around the island. On a rainy day, Guido showed up and expertly rode her around the clouds. Laura never saw Sevilla and never saw Madrid as she fell in love with Mallorca and pushed her flight back twice. Guido has been a part of the Team Lipstick family ever since. He was our guide in Girona, the first training camp in Spain, then for 4 more camps in Mallorca. He even joined us in St Lucia for our Swim/Run/Yoga camp. We are devoted to Guido as he is the best!!
