August, the leading platform for private collections of European holiday homes, has the launched the Son Vida Collection — a new Signature Collection of holiday homes designed for those who appreciate the ease, elegance, and gentle rhythm of the European golf lifestyle.
Golf is not just a sport, for many it’s a way of life. A rhythm of sun-drenched mornings and slow afternoons. The Son Vida Collection is inspired by this world of quiet precision, camaraderie, and expansive beauty - a world that already shapes the way so many Homeowners holiday with August.
Drawing inspiration from the renowned area of Son Vida in Mallorca, a place long associated with elegance, leisure, and the timeless rhythm of golf, this Signature Collection reimagines the experience of second home ownership through the lens of the European golf lifestyle. For those who explore new courses with old friends and who savour the balance of play and pause, the Son Vida Collection is a natural extension of the lifestyle they already lead.
Much like the game itself, these homes are for those who appreciate thoughtful details, a sense of exploration, and the joy of time well spent in exceptional surroundings. Each is located in a celebrated region that boasts access to remarkable golf experiences.
Spanning four beautifully curated 3–4 bedroom homes across the South of France, Tuscany, Mallorca, and the French Alps, Son Vida blends refined design with the effortless charm of holiday living. Each home is fully managed and professionally maintained by August and co-owned by a group of 17 like-minded families, with shares starting at €480,000.
“At August, we are deeply connected to the evolving lifestyle preferences of our homeowners,” says Mélie Dunod, founder and CEO. “Golf often emerges not simply as a sport, but as a shared passion — a way to explore a region, connect with others, and enjoy the moment.”
Highlights of the collection include dedicated concierge partners to support owners with golf bookings and tee times including a partnership with Golf in Italy, providing dedicated concierge support and preferential rates at top local courses in Italy. The homes are located within an hour’s drive of each region’s most prestigious golf clubs and each property will also be equipped with two full sets of golf clubs for homeowners to use.
“In Artà, we made the most of the fantastic golf options. There are at least four or five courses within a half-hour drive, and when we stayed there with friends for a week, we played three rounds.” Penny and David, August Signature Collection Homeowners
