Those who are fond of diving should visit Hippocampes Divers on La Solona beach in Illetas. Open all year round, not only is it a great place to dive but in cooler months you can relax and get tips from other divers who congregate here. Golf fans will love the amount of golf courses scattered around, the nearest being Bendinat or Son Vida. Why not tee-off early in the morning then head to Palma in the afternoon to see what delights the capital offers. Palma offers a range of designer label outlets, more than what the resort has to offer but if shopping is not your thing why not take a tour of Palma on one of the buses.
To keep the children entertained on Illetas holidays head to the popular Marineland, located near Portals Nous - it's a great for all the family. Inside the park you will find performing dolphins and sealions and occasionally during the show, small children are picked at random to be pulled around the pool in a small dingy. Marineland is not open all year round so make sure you check dates if you plan to visit.
Culture
Majorca has a long history as ownership of the island has been fought over ever since the dawn of civilisation. With a prime location in the Mediterranean, Majorca has been used by the Romans, Byzantines and Moors as a vital trading post down through history. This diverse tapestry is now on display in the many museums, cathedrals and castles in Majorca.
If you want to explore the local culture, we suggest heading to nearby Palma to visit the local market and the different festivals that are held throughout the year. One of the oldest festivals in Europe is held in December at Palma to commemorate the arrivals of the troops of Jaume I the conqueror. In July, Festival Isladencanta takes place which is an annual music festival that covers the main genres including rock and pop and features some of Europe's best DJs.
The party spirit isn't just limited to the island's capital though, Cala Millor has an excellent 4 day festival held every year in August that is well worth the trip.
Nightlife
The nightlife on Illetas holidays is fairly sophisicated but mainly hotel based. Unlike El Arenal, Illetas is not full of bars open till dawn but there are a few bars where you are able to get a quiet drink to wind down after a day on the beach. The only nightclub on the resort is called the Virtual Club which opened in 2003 in the natural caves of Illetas. Note that this is a very exclusive club that comprises a nightclub, restaurant and cocktail bar. Those wanting a quiet meal should head to the few restaurants on offer where you can try the local delicacies and have a relaxing drink.
If it is a night of partying that you want then the place to be is Santa Ponsa.
