Unique in Europe: At the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida, the green fee is included in the price.
Mallorca/Munich, June 16, 2009 – It's never been done before: from November 1, 2009 the price of a room at the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida will include all green fees – with no restrictions. Guests of the popular multiple-award winning golf hotel can swing their clubs at the near-by Arabella golf courses Son Vida, Son Muntaner and Son Quint as well as at the 9-hole Son Quint Executive Par 3 course, set to open in July. This incomparable offer puts golfers first and foremost and will position the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida as a leading golf hotel in a class of its own in Mallorca and throughout Europe.
Cherished for its climate, a wide selection of courses and excellent accessibility, Mallorca is a premier destination for German golfers. With its new offer, the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel is taking a clear stance on the popular Balearic Islands, permitting its guests to play 63 holes free of charge in future. The use of the driving range is also comprised in the room price, including unlimited range balls. And this new offer is not tied to any restrictions: it's not linked to a minimum length of stay, a specific room category or a limited booking period. Hotel guests can play as often as they wish. What's more, they can continue to enjoy preferential starting times, have direct buggy access to Arabella Golf Son Quint, Son Muntaner and Son Vida and can take the free shuttle bus to the golf courses. This all adds up to a golfing offer that stands unrivalled in Europe.
"The growing popularity of the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida with golfers has showed us that we are very clearly on the right track in Mallorca, in terms of our range of hotel and golfing facilities", explained Christian Böll, CEO of ArabellaStarwood Hotels & Resorts. "Our Unlimited Golf Packages, in which the green fees for all three courses are included in the price of a stay of four nights or more, were a huge success and marked the ultimate shift of focus onto golfers. The new hotel concept, with its unparalleled range of golfing offers, is the perfect lure for individual travelers, but also, and primarily, for golfing groups and pro trips."
Tucked away in the villa district of Son Vida, some ten minutes drive from the center of Palma, the ArabellaSheraton Golf Hotel Son Vida is an ideal residence for active holidaymakers and families. It blends classic Spanish lifestyle with sporty elegance and the ultimate in modern luxury. Sand-hued walls, terracotta-colored roofs, rustic wood-beam ceilings and warm colors conspire to create an inviting atmosphere. And for non-golfing guests, the hotel has a dazzling array of other options in store, with an extensive range of sport and leisure amenities, illuminated tennis courts, a fitness pavilion with the latest power and cardio equipment and the spacious Arabella Spa.
The three 18-hole golf courses offer more than just a selection of varied and challenging places to play. They also afford a myriad of ever-changing views over the magnificent scenery and the island's capital. Though the highly varied course Arabella Golf Son Quint, which opened in the fall of 2007, is a challenging prospect, it is still manageable for all players. And the directly adjacent Arabella Golf Son Muntaner is a sheer delight, with its expansive fairways, superb greens and inviting water hazards. Nestling within an idyllic pine grove, this stunningly scenic course offers a challenging game to players of all levels. The oldest and most traditional course in Mallorca, Arabella Golf Son Vida, offers fair challenges for golfers of all abilities along with fast greens of a kind now rarely found elsewhere in Europe. The new 9-hole course in the Arabella Golf brand will enhance and expand the available range, offering new, inviting options and additional incentives to golfers of all calibers.
