Stay in style at the Hotel Bon Sol, Mallorca

Assured of a warm welcome and excellent service as standard, the fabulous four-star Hotel Bon Sol in Mallorca is the kind of place you would definitely book year after year.

Located in sunny Illetas, just five miles along the coast from the island’s capital city Palma, this cliff-top hotel offers a mix of traditional surroundings and modern facilities.

The Xamena family have owned and run this comfortable establishment since the 1950's and it’s their personal touches that make it such an inviting destination. Even Hollywood star Errol Flynn was so impressed by his stay at the Bon Sol that he returned to the area and rented a house close by.

When you enter the hotel’s large lounge, don’t be surprised if you spot a knight in shining armour – the family’s passion is collecting antiques which adorn the room, so that guests can enjoy the artefacts, too.

Cuisine at the Bon Sol is fresh and plentiful and you'll be guaranteed an authentic Mallorcan menu. For those who wish to be pampered, the Nirvana Spa also has an impressive menu, offering treatments from facials and manicures to Ayurvedic massage.

The bedrooms are dramatic and glamorous, swathed in dark wood and soft furnishings, but each one is different and has a distinct character.

If you want the ultimate in privacy, you can book a small villa in the grounds – access is via a short connecting tunnel from the main building. The villas make a wonderful retreat but are just as suitable for socialising as they each have a generous lounge and kitchen as well the bedroom and bathroom.

Whether you are staying in the main hotel or in one of the cute villas, one of the nicest features is the private balcony with sun lounger, overlooking the pool area.

But the icing on the cake is the stretch of private beach, exclusively for hotel guests. It’s what makes the Bon Sol feel truly like a home away from home.
