Le Prince Maurice Resort

2007-06-10T13:53:24

Water, light, perfumes and colours... In the beginning there was water, then light came to challenge its omnipresence. The marriage of these elements occured at Constance Le Prince Maurice, in the magical interplay of light and water.
The perfumes were red with envy. Their most intoxicating fragrances eclipsed by the bewithching dance of colours. Hence perfumes and coulours have come together at Prince Maurice to continue their courtship. Light languishing in a monochrome monotony, realised that, despite a myriad of variations, it could not keep conjuring up the illusion, unless impregnated by colours. Therefore at Prince Maurice light and colours are intertwined together in a warm and sensual embrace.
Acting in collusion, perfumes, colours and water strive to challenge light for precedence. At Prince Maurice, the latter teases them, and with the sun as accomplice, encourages them to give the best of themselves day in day out. The sea murmurs along the four beaches of Prince Maurice with warm and tender voice, an open invitation to possess and be possessed - a unique occasion to experience a supreme sensuous ecstasy.

Castillo Hotel Son Vida

2007-04-24T09:11:42

Since the 13th century, nobles have governed over the properties on the hills behind Palma city which was declared fertile land during the rule of King Jaume I. The medieval castle was first baptized in the 16th century with the acquisition of the property by Mateu Vida. The subsequent owners, the aristocratic families Desmàs and Tryols, decided to keep the distinctive name. During the ages there is one thing that has remained the same: The inhabitants and visitors of the elegant refuge should feel relaxed and enjoy services and feasts of the highest level – at present, the guest is the only king of the castle.

Back to the history of the magical castle: during the turn of the 20th century, Fernando Truyols & Despuig undertakes extensive – and extravagant – alterations to the estate as a present for his wife Magdalena Villalonga, giving it the look of a castle complete with tower.

The Truyols family sells their Son Vida private estate 57 years later to Steve Kusak, who founds the “Urbanización Son Vida”. On June 23rd 1961, the castle finally opens it doors as a luxury hotel. Only 3 years later follows the opening of the island’s first golf course, the neighbouring Golf Son Vida.

Until 1995, the renowned hotel changes its landowner constantly and finally the Schörghuber Group buys the hotel and renames it Castillo Hotel Son Vida, which consequently becomes a ''Leading Hotel of the World''.
