Illetas

Just a 15-minute drive from Palma, Illetas is a chic coastal enclave nestled along the pine-clad cliffs of southwest Mallorca. Often likened to Monte Carlo for its upscale ambiance, this small yet sophisticated resort boasts a selection of intimate beaches and coves, many of which are flanked by exclusive hotels offering direct beach access and sun terraces that invite guests to immerse themselves in the crystal-clear waters below.

Illetas is home to several picturesque beaches, including Playa de Illetas, Cala Comtesa, and Cala Xinxell. These sandy spots are renowned for their sheltered bays and turquoise waters, providing a tranquil setting for sunbathing and swimming. The surrounding pine forests and rocky outcrops enhance the area’s natural charm, making it a haven for relaxation and scenic walks.

The resort’s main street offers a modest selection of shops, bars, and restaurants. However, the true allure lies in its beach clubs such as Balneario Illetas and Purobeach Illetas should visitors seek a refined beachside experience.

While Illetas offers a serene retreat, it is also conveniently located near vibrant areas. The bustling marina of Portals Nous and the lively resort of Palmanova are both situated to the west, offering additional dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
