Notes to Editors:
Castell Son Claret
Castell Son Claret opened in May 2013 after an intense restoration project under the instruction of the property's owners, Klaus-Michael and Christine Kühne. Situated in Calvía, Mallorca, the 18th Century historical castle and the surrounding stables and guardhouses which make up the 38 room and suite hotel sit within a 325 acre private estate at the bottom of the Tramuntana mountain range, designated in 2011 by UNESCO as a world-natural-heritage site. Castell son Claret is home to the Michelin-starred restaurant, Zaranda and Bellesa de Claret Spa.
Chef Fernando Perez Arellano
