Illetas Holidays

Illetas is a world away from the neighbouring resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova. Winding its way up a cliffside, this little town majors in classic Mediterranean style, and has sea views to write home about. The beach scene’s pretty good, too. There’s one big, sandy sweep, and two smaller, rocky inlets, all backed by sweet-smelling pine trees.

Holidays in Illetas mainly revolve around swimming in the ocean and relaxing in the sun. Yet you’ll find a complete change of scenery just a 10-minute drive away – in Puerto Portals, one of Majorca’s most glamorous hotspots. This place has a marina crammed with luxury yachts, top class restaurants and boutiques with windows flaunting international designer brands.

At Illetas you’ll be well-placed to take advantage of Majorca’s golfing heritage, as there are several top-quality courses on this south-east side of the island. Try the Santa Ponsa Golf Course, a 15-minute drive away. Its 10th hole’s one of the longest in Europe, plus the course is very picturesque and scattered with pea-green trees and water features.
