Balneario Illetas is a long-established beach club on a sheltered cove along Passeig Illetes, on the southwest coast of Mallorca. It's been at this spot for decades, and it still draws crowds through the season. The space is large, with a full Mediterranean restaurant, rooftop terrace, and beach-level sunbeds and umbrellas stretching along the waterfront.
See how it stacks up against the rest in our Mallorca beach clubs guide.
The setup covers a lot of ground: restaurant, cocktail bar, on-site spa, and massage services. The crowd leans family, group, and tourist rather than late-night club. Showers and sunbed rentals get regular mentions in reviews, and the bus stop nearby makes it an easy trip from Palma without a car.
It's open Thursday to Sunday only. Thursday and Friday from noon to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday from 10am. Reservations are recommended for all meals. Free parking is on site and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible, with a kids' area, high chairs, and a kids' menu.
Rated 4.2 from 3,581 reviews. Around 60% give it five stars, with a smaller share leaving one or two, often citing food portion size relative to price.

Food & Drinks at Balneario Illetas Beach Club
The kitchen runs Mediterranean all day, from breakfast and brunch through to a full dinner service. The menu includes paella, though some guests have found portions on the lean side for €26 a plate. The rotating day specials are worth checking: one guest described the cocido madrileño as "about as good as it gets," which suggests the kitchen can outperform a typical beach club when it wants to.
Cocktails are the most consistent highlight across reviews. The wine list is solid, and you'll find coffee and a good tea selection served throughout the day. Small plates and quick bites sit alongside full table-service meals.
Halal food and vegetarian options are both available.
