Platja d'Illetes
Description
Platja d'Illetes is a small sandy beach in the Badia de Palma, celebrated for its crystal-clear, turquoise water and fine, pale sand.
Water, Sand and Underwater Life
What sets Platja d'Illetes apart is its exceptional water quality. The sea glows in rich shades of turquoise and blue-green, and is so clear you can see the sandy bottom and fish swimming below without a mask. The sand itself is fine and bright. The beach is compact and slopes gently into the sea, resulting in calm, warm shallows — and there are lifeguards on hand throughout the season.
Families and Leisure Activities
The gentle entry into the water makes Platja d'Illetes a great choice for families with children. You can hire pedalos and SUPs, with life jackets included, right on the beach. Showers, restaurants, and sun lounger and parasol hire are also available on site.
Popularity and Timing
The bay is small and draws a good crowd — part of the beach is cordoned off for boat hire and water activities. If you prefer a shady spot or a bit more breathing room, arriving early in the morning gives you the best chance. Outside of peak season, it's noticeably quieter.
