Illetas is one of Majorca’s most desirable little corners – a peaceful, upscale bay just along the coast from Palma. Hotel Bon Sol is tucked into a rugged cliffside surrounded by pine trees and lush sub-tropical gardens, with pathways and a private lift connecting the main house to sunbathing terraces and the cove below.

From here, you can wander 500m into Illetas for a handful of stylish bars and restaurants, or hop on a bus into Palma for cathedral views, boutique shopping and tapas in the old town. Golfers have Real Golf de Bendinat within easy reach, while beach lovers can flit between Playa de Illetas and Playa Cala Comtessa’s clear, calm waters.

• 50m to a small sandy beach (via hotel steps or lift)
• 500m to Illetas resort centre (bars, restaurants, shops)
• 8km to Palma city centre
• Real Golf de Bendinat nearby for keen golfers

Approx. transfer time from airport: 45 minutes

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).

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.
