Why visit Illetas?

Illetas, also known as Ses Illetes, is one of the most sought-after destinations when going for a holiday in Majorca, and there are plenty of reasons why. Let’s take a look:

Proximity to Palma

Illetas offers an excellent location just 15 - 20 minutes away from Palma city centre. That way, you get the perfect combination of a city and a beach holiday! There are many local buses that will take you straight to the island’s capital in a breeze. Once there, you will be able to visit major tourist attractions and landmarks such as the famous Palma Cathedral, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, or the hip neighbourhood of Santa Catalina (a definite must). Ah, and don’t forget to include a much-needed shopping spree along Jaime III street and Paseo del Borne, where you’ll find numerous high-end brands and stores.

Idyllic beaches and coves in Illetas

The famous Illetas beach is impressive, to say the least. However, don’t get confused, since there are up to three different beaches in this location: the main Illetas beach, Cala Comtessa cove, and Cala Oli.

The main “Playa de Illetas” is the largest one, has clear waters, fine, white sand, and is highly popular among both locals and tourists. It is an ideal place to just relax, and although it can get a little busy in the summer, you’ll surely find more than enough space to throw your towel on the sand and go for a swim in its crystal, blue waters. Along the beach, you will find restaurants, cafés, and many other necessary facilities since this is the largest beach of them all.

On the other hand, the charming coves Cala Comtessa and Cala Oli, are smaller and offer a more intimate setting and atmosphere. They are surrounded by nature, are unspoilt, and will make for the best paradisiac summer memories. The three of them are a must visit!

Illetas restaurants

Illetas is a popular destination for foodies too. Whether you feel like having a tasty seafood paella by the sea or a fine, dining experience with fresh, local produce, you’ll find it here. One of the favourite restaurant options around is the Purobeach restaurant, which offers quality designer creations influenced by the most exquisite dishes, spices and flavours worldwide. If cannot wait any longer and would like to reserve your table already, you can do so here!

Illetas beach clubs

Illetas is one of, if not the most, famous beach resorts in the outskirts of Palma city. It certainly is a fantastic location, right by the sea and close enough to the bustling capital, so it’s no wonder that many of the best beach clubs are located right here.

You will find various stylish beach clubs along the bay in Illetas, where you’ll be able to enjoy the best seafood and cocktails. Plus, if you do choose to spend the day at a beach club you’ll instantly be upgrading your holiday by indulging in the ultimate chic beach experience. If you’ve rented out a vehicle, keep in mind that you may usually park directly at the beach club rather than having to look for parking space outside. Easy and luxurious!

Illetas weather

So, what’s it like? Before getting your flights and getting all packed up, you probably want to know a little more about the Illetes weather. Beware: you’re going to be pleasantly surprised!

Illetas offers a fantastic sunny, warm weather all year round. Although temperatures are pretty high during the summer, always set in the 20ºC’s, there’s always a soft breeze in the area to cool you down a bit. In the summer, temperatures can reach up to 31ºC, while in wintery months like January, for instance, the warmest day will average about 17ºC.

Note that it barely rains in Illetas, or in Majorca really. There is an average of about 300 days of sunshine per year!
