Hotel Riu Palace Bonanza Playa

An introduction to Hotel Riu Palace Bonanza Playa

Just a cab ride from the boutiques and tapas bars of Palma, this hotel is in a quiet, exclusive spot on the seafront of Illetas.

It stands proud above a pool area built on a promontory jutting out into the Med. It’s edged by decked sun terraces offering up magnificent seascapes. And there’s a poolside snack bar, so once you’ve found your perfect spot there’s no need to move all day. On the other hand, if the sound of the waves below are too tempting to resist you can plunge straight in from the hotel’s small private rocky cove. It’s perfect for scuba diving and other water sports. And if you’d rather feel sand between your toes, Illetas beach is just a short stroll away.

Dining here is a lavish affair. Big breakfasts, with on-the-spot cooking and an optional glass of bubbly, get the day off to a sparkling start. And, come dinnertime, you can choose between the buffet or waiter service.

The hotel lines up plenty of entertainment, and its disco-bar is a popular spot during the summer, with dancing most evenings. The piano bar is another popular place to end the day, with its widescreen views out to sea.

As for the bedrooms, look forward to fairly grand spaces with tie-back drapes that showcase the views.
