Illetas on the south west coast of Mallorca lies 6 miles west of Palma City. It is an exclusive resort, described
as the Monte Carlo of Mallorca, where the hotels have a minimum of four stars and the harbour is filled with luxury yachts. The sandy beach at Illetas is small and can often get busy at the height of summer. The water here is fantastically clear and beautifully warm making swimming more akin to taking a gigantic bath. Illetas is very different to Palma Nova and Magaluf as it is full of culture and is very peaceful and scenic. The holiday season in Illetas begins in April and ends in late October. The temperature ranges from 20 -38 degrees. There are some bars in Illetas although most of the evening entertainment is provided by the hotels. There is one club available in Illetas which is very exclusive and stays open until 2 am. Public transport within the resort is very good and buses come every 20 minutes. Buses take you into Palma and Paguera. Illetas has few shops in the town itself. This is probably due to its close proximity to Palma which has a wealth of designer boutiques and specialist shops.
