Illetas, Majorca?

Question

Any thoughts anyone? Thinking of going in June

Answer 1

Ooohh.. one of my favourite resorts on the Island.

Illetas is well worth a visit.

The very exclusive resort of Illetas is part of the municipal district of Calvia on the south west coast of Majorca. At a little over 10km, or 6 miles to the west of the capital Palma, the transfer into the resort is one of the shortest on the island, and should usually take no more than 15 - 20 minutes from the time you leave the airport grounds.

Illetas still remains relatively undiscovered by almost all of the major UK tour operators.

For those visitors who choose to drive this is one of the nearest resort to the west of Palma. The town is an oasis of green along the heavily developed south coast.

The contrast between Illetas and the more familiar south west coast resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf can only be described as striking. Holidays to Illetas are not cheap. Accommodation here does not fall below the 4 star standard, which is aimed very strongly at professional couples and families looking for the cultural aspects of nearby Palma, as opposed to the all night clubs and bars of Magaluf.

Illetas is a resort of smart hotels, and expensive cars, that has on more than one occasion been compared to Monte Carlo by both professional travel writers and visitors to the town.

Moving now if we can a little further west along the coast from Illetas, brings you to the residential areas of Bendinat and Portals Nous, which In keeping with the general exclusivity of the area is being marketed by at least one developer as having "possibly the best address in Mallorca"

I have stayed in the "Bon Sol" myself twice and I loved it!

Well done you on chosing Illetas for your next holiday, it is a discerning choice and you have made it well!

I'm sure you're going to have a fabulous time!

All the very best of luck.
