LOCATION: In Illetas, only 8km (5 miles) from central Palma, the clifftop Bon Sol nestles amid pine trees, its moorish tower lofting from luxuriant gardens and overlooking the picturesque Palma bay. Lorraine and Martin are experienced hoteliers who are always there to look after the well-being of their customers, many of whom return each year for a fabulous vacation. The ambiance they have created is one of cheerful and kindly luxury, supported by a commitment to excellence in service. From the reception lobby, lifts descend to the lush sub-tropical gardens; an oasis of calm and colour where waterfalls splash peacefully into rock-girt swimming-pools and the crystal clear waters of the small sandy beach afford safe swimming.

ROOMS: No two of its spacious bedrooms and suites are alike; each has its own charm, individual in decor and disposition, with private bathroom, balcony or terrace, radio, minibar, telephone, air conditioning, and central heating.

SPORTS & LEISURE: Sporting facilities include a heated pool, two tennis courts, squash, crazy golf, table tennis, pool table, volleyball, petanque, children's playground, windsurfing, fitness-room, sauna and physiotherapy.

DINING FACILITIES: From April to October exotic cocktails can be enjoyed on the terraces at the bar by the sea, where the restaurant serves breakfast and a superb buffet lunch. The main building abounds in lounges and cosy corners, whose antique furniture, beautiful paintings and precious porcelain create the atmosphere of a medieval castle. A full English buffet breakfast awaits in the winter-garden conservatory. In the elegant restaurant an attentive staff serves delicious dishes for lunch and dinner.

EXTRAS: Dogs are allowed (on request).
