Hotel Bon Sol
Illetas | Balearics
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tucked into a pine-draped cliff on Majorca’s south-west coast, Hotel Bon Sol blends old-world Mediterranean elegance with the comfort of a well-run, multi-generation family hotel. Antique furniture, cool stone floors and leafy terraces cascade down through tropical gardens to a tiny sandy cove with lift access. With three pools, a proper spa, excellent dining and friendly, personalised service, this certified sustainable hideaway feels more private residence than resort – ideal for couples and discerning families who prefer character over flash.
Think stone towers draped in bougainvillea, candlelit terraces, and sea views framed by palms. Hotel Bon Sol spills down the hillside in a series of villas and garden levels, giving a wonderfully private feel. Days drift between the three pools, the spa, and the tiny cove below, while evenings are for piano bar cocktails and leisurely dinners overlooking the Mediterranean.
For couples and families seeking the Balearics’ softer side, Hotel Bon Sol in Illetas delivers traditional Majorcan charm with all the comforts of a high-end beach hotel. It’s around 45 minutes from Palma de Mallorca Airport, yet feels a world away from the busy resorts, with direct lift and stair access to a small sandy cove. See more Balearic Islands holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
Dining at Hotel Bon Sol feels pleasantly old-school in the best possible way – think linen tablecloths, attentive service and menus that mix classic Spanish dishes with international favourites.
Beach Restaurant “Cala Brugit”
Set right by the water, this buffet and à la carte venue serves international, Spanish and local cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Highchairs and a kids’ menu make it easy for families, and there’s a relaxed, toes-in-the-sand atmosphere (open roughly April–October, weather and occupancy dependent; beachwear not permitted inside).
Las Antorchas Restaurant
A more formal, candlelit à la carte option for dinner, focusing on refined international and Spanish cuisine. Gentlemen are asked to wear long trousers and smart-casual attire or a suit. Ideal for a special-occasion evening within the hotel.
Pool Bar & Piano Bar
The pool bar keeps you topped up with drinks and daytime snacks between swims (typically April–October), while the elegant piano bar offers cocktails, light bites and live music – the classic way to end the day. Beachwear isn’t permitted in the piano bar.
Reservations, opening dates and any supplements can vary depending on the season and board arrangement, so check the latest details on arrival. If you’re considering upgrading your stay, read more about what All Inclusive typically includes (note: Hotel Bon Sol operates on B&B, Half Board and Full Board, not All Inclusive).
Pool Areas and Beach
The hotel’s outside spaces are a real highlight, layered across different levels to create quiet corners and sea-view sun decks.
Pools
• Heated freshwater pool with whirlpool – a main swimming pool with surrounding sunbeds and parasols, typically heated from mid-March to early November, perfect for shoulder-season dips.
• Saltwater pool by the beach – an outdoor pool perched by the sea with a dedicated sunbathing area, plus baby-changing facilities; ideal if you like to switch between pool and sand.
• Saltwater children’s pool – shallow and separate, with sunbeds, parasols and baby-changing facilities, usually open April–November.
Complimentary pool towels are provided, and facilities may vary slightly by pool and season.
Beach
From the main building, steps and a private lift guide you down through the gardens to a small, sheltered sandy cove just 50m away. It’s a lovely spot for a morning swim or relaxed afternoon by the water, with the rugged coastline adding to the sense of seclusion.
