Property for sale in Illetas / Property for sale in Cas Catala

Location

Illetas is an exclusive resort, forming part of the municipality of Calvia, on the south west coast of Mallorca, around 10km from Palma.  It is populated principally by Spanish residents as tourism has not yet taken hold of this region.

Description

Although a designated holiday resort, Illetas is very firmly designed to cater for holidaymakers searching for luxurious accommodation, facilities and beaches.  

Overlooking Palma Bay, there are two beaches here - the Platja d'Illetas and the tiny Platja Cala Comptessa, although a number of hotels have their own private beaches. There is also a diving centre and several golf courses nearby, at Bendinat and Son Vida.

With regards to entertainment; as anticipated, the nightlife in Illetas is low key and principally hotel-based. There are few shops, with both residents and holidaymakers choosing instead to travel into Palma for their retail therapy and leisure activities.  However, there are a handful of small, exclusive bars and restaurants.
