The family-run Bon Sol commands a unique cliffside position in the heart of Illetas. The hotel is extremely characterful, with exposed stone, wooden beams and the added personal touches of the owners and their collection of eclectic decorations and furnishings. From the reception, lifts descend to the lush subtropical gardens: an oasis of calm and colour, waterfalls splash peacefully into the swimming pools and the crystal-clear waters of the small sandy beach afford good swimming. The water's edge is also the setting for a bar and restaurant where, during summer months, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, or sample exotic cocktails as the sun sets along the horizon. Why not relax in the hotel's spacious lounges, which are located next to the main restaurant?
The wellness centre offers relaxing massages, saunas and a wide choice of therapeutic and beauty treatments, as well as an outside whirlpool bath. The owners of the Bon Sol are always on hand and have created an ambience of cheerful and unpretentious luxury, supported by a commitment to excellence in personal service, with nothing ever seeming to be too much trouble. It's so good here, even the staff stay longer, which may be why the standards of service are so often commended. Each of the spacious bedrooms and suites is different, with individual charm and ambience.
Hotel child prices apply to ages 2-12 years.

About the location
This exclusive resort in south-west Majorca has earned a reputation for glitz and glamour, with a handful of super-luxe hotels and some of the best golf courses on the island. Snuggled into a scenic, pine-strewn headland overlooking a postcard-perfect bay, the resort’s lush surroundings are some of its biggest attractions. The world-class golf courses pruned into its landscapes include the 18-hole Real Golf Bendinat, which features a gorgeous green valley surrounded by hilly terrain and sloping fairways. The resort has its own beach; a curved bay that’s small but perfectly formed, with powdery white-gold sand and a handful of upmarket beach clubs. You’ve got a smattering of attractive bars and restaurants, too, all adding to Illetas’ low-key charm. If it’s nightlife and shopping you’re after, island capital Palma is just six miles away.

Have just returned from a family holiday to the Bon Sol. It is a very special hotel, so friendly, has old world charm and nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff. People really care that you are having a great time. It is true that a lot of older people stay there, but we never felt out of place with our children (10 and 13) The food is fantastic.
Easy to get into Palma and also plenty to explore locally
Already thinking about when we can return. Lovely

Hotel Bonsol is a family owned hotel where you can really feel home and welcome .
It???s located in Illetes , a 20 min ride with taxi to center of Palma ( ~ 13 ???) or 35-45 min with bus ( 1,50 ???) . Taxi stand and bus stop 100 m from entrance . There are some little bars and shops around at walking distance but no nightlife .
The hotel staff is friendly and always willing to assist and help , they speak good German and English . Everyone is friendly including gardeners, technicians, restaurant personell etc . The owner is seen frequently and really nice .
Hotel is huge with lots of gardens and little calm places . The style is not very modern but cosy. Everything clean and with everything you need incl a small fitness area, yoga classes, wellness area , pools and sauna. The beach is tiny but illetes beach is close .
Breakfast is great , meals really good , service staff great ! Nice bar with snacks and good cocktails .
I would definitely recommend this place and will come back , felt great !

Visited the Bon Sol in October 2017. Very unusual hotel, not like anything we've been to before. Quirky, I think the word is. Service was excellent, food was good in both restaurants, but we preferred the beach restaurant (less formal) the prices for drinks were reasonable too for a hotel. All the guests (apart from us) had been many times before and seemed to know all the staff. Would I go again? Yes, I would defiantly visit again, could definitely manage a long weekend.
