Illetes is a well-heeled area just outside the boundary of Palma de Mallorca, to the west of the capital. It has good connections with all parts of the island and is only about 20 minutes from the airport.

It's easy to confuse this hotel with its similarly named sister, the Riu Palace Bonanza Playa, also in Illetes, especially as travellers reports are equally enthusiastic about both. The Bonanza Park is set amidst more than 8000 square metres of lovely Mediterranean gardens, with views over the bay of Palma. This is a quiet, largely residential area, perfect for a relaxing break - would not suit anyone seeking dazzling nightlife, or active kids and teenagers. The pretty Illetes sand beach, with its rocky backdrop, is just a 10 minute stroll away.
