Playa Illetas (Illetes)
A lively cove beach extremely popular during summer season.
Playa Illetas is a beach on the southwest coast of Mallorca, about 10 km away from Palma, in the holiday resort town of Illetas, between Portals Nous and Cala Mayor. It is situated on a calm, beautiful bay with higher-end luxury hotels, restaurants and shops set up on the surrounding cliffs, which makes for a dramatic scenery. This is the largest of three small beaches which form the community of Illetas.

It can get quite busy with locals as well as tourists, particularly Italian and British, and though all age-generations appreciate this beach, including families, there is a younger crowd that comes here for the beach clubs and a more lively and exclusive atmosphere. The roughly 200-metre long beach is white sand and the water is calm and Caribbean blue. A small, paved walkway backs up to this beach that leads up to the streets.

You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas but there are really no water sports or activities for hire except for some paddle boats and SUP, due to its relatively small size. Directly on the beach are a few restaurants and beach bars where you can eat casual and good food, and further back along some of the side streets and on the edges of the bay are more options for food and drinks. There are a handful of good shops, beach-focused of course, as well as souvenir shops. There are showers and bathroom facilities on site. Illetas is surrounded by activity, yet the cliffs create an intimacy that makes this beach feel more exclusive and special.

Illetas has to other beaches to offer, the main beach Platja d’Illetas and Cala Xinxell. All three beaches located within a couple hundred metres of each other.

Cala Comptessa is located in the town of of Illetas, roughly 10 kilometres southwest of Palma de Mallorca.

The beach in general
Cala Comptessa is a lovely little sand beach, nestled between low cliffs and tall trees. The beach is barely 100 metres wide and is not particularly wide.

A small number of sun loungers and parasols are available to rent. There’s tough competition for the spots during the summer, so plan to show up quite early. The same goes for the parking spots nearby.

The small island Ille de Sa Caleta is located a couple of hundred metres from the shore, so experienced swimmers might want to consider going on a short excursion.

Cala Xinxell is located on a small peninsula in the southern part of Illetas. The surrounding scenery is incredibly beautiful, which makes the bay a popular spot for small yachts and sailboats.
