Son Caliu has 215 guest rooms finished in a clean, modern style that prioritises comfort and practicality, particularly if you're travelling with golf kit. Each room includes a safe, mini-bar, satellite TV, full air conditioning and a private terrace or balcony, which is ideal for a quiet drink and a debrief on the day's scorecard without heading down to the bar.
If you're travelling as a pair, the standard rooms do the job nicely, with enough space to keep bags and clubs out of the way. The layout means you're not tripping over kit every time you move, which sounds obvious but makes a real difference after a long day on your feet.
Away from the rooms, the facilities tick the boxes for a golf-focused stay. The outdoor pool is a good spot to unwind after your round, while the heated indoor pool gives you an all-weather option if you're travelling early or late season. The fitness suite is useful if you like to keep moving between rounds and the sauna and health and beauty centre are worth a look if your legs are feeling it.
Needless to say, the terrace and outdoor spaces are where the hotel really comes into its own. Mallorca's climate means you'll spend a good chunk of your time outside, and Son Caliu is designed around that. Whether it's breakfast on the terrace before an early tee time, a few hours by the pool between rounds, or evening drinks under the stars, the layout encourages you to make the most of being somewhere warm and sunny while the UK is stuck under grey skies.
Dining options are available on site, with Palma close by if you fancy heading out for a wider choice. For societies and larger groups, the hotel's mix of room types, communal spaces and facilities makes it easy to keep everyone together without feeling cramped. There's enough going on to fill rest days or accommodate non-golfers, but it's not so sprawling or resort-heavy that it loses that sense of being a proper hotel rather than a vast complex.
Overall, it's a straightforward, well-run base for golfers who want reliable comfort, decent facilities and easy access to Palma and the surrounding courses. If you're building a Mallorca itinerary, Son Caliu is an easy base to plug into a multi-course golf break.
