S'Illot
The Spanish holiday destination of S'Illot is on the east coat
of Mallorca and combines the larger resort town of Sa Coma and the
smaller village of Cala Moreya, not far from Cala Millor and Porto
Cristo. Cala Moreya is separated from Sa Coma by a small fresh
water lagoon and is within easy walking distance. Cala Moreya was
originally a tiny fishing village and fishermen still pull in their
boats each evening and haul them up a ramp at the end of the small
beach. The village has retained its charm and visitors on holiday
in the S'Illot area have the option of enjoying the peace and
tranquillity of Cala Moreya, or the livelier aspects of its more
upmarket neighbour. Both towns have excellent beaches, though Sa
Coma beach is much larger, and there are a number of good
restaurants (as well as fast food outlets), bars and shops to
explore. S'Illot is popular with English families and couples
seeking a quiet holiday resort, with the perfect balance of
relaxation and excitement on offer.
Information & Facts
Activities
It may be a sleepy little town, but there are definitely fun
things to do in S'Illot. The water is clear and calm, and you can
try your hand at watersports like scuba diving, snorkelling,
windsurfing and sailing. If you're more comfortable on land, you
can go horseback riding, play tennis, or visit nearby attractions
like the Caves of Drach. There are other resorts like Sa Coma
within easy walking or driving distance for a greater variety of
activities.
Language
Spanish is the official language, but English is widely
understood in areas frequented by tourists. Catalan, Galician and
Basque are spoken in the relevant areas.
Money
Spain's official currency is the Euro (EUR). One Euro is divided
into 100 cents. Money can be exchanged at bureaux de change and
major hotels, but banks give the best rates. All major credit cards
and travellers cheques are widely accepted at most hotels,
restaurants, and shops. ATMs are widespread and are generally the
cheapest and most convenient method of obtaining money.
Negatives
S'Illot is not a true resort, it is a traditional fishing
village that has only begun to adapt to the growing demand for
tourism on Mallorca. There can be a lack of infrastructure,
including spotty public transport. The town has a limited nightlife
that is mainly restricted to hotel bars.
Night Life
S'Illot has little in the way of nightlife. Most community bars
and restaurants, though lively, close early. Most nightlife is
centred around hotel bars, and those looking for a wilder
experience can travel to nearby Cala Millor, which is five minutes
away be car or taxi.
Restaurants
S'Illot has some great restaurants to enjoy while on holiday,
the best of which include Bar Restaurante Espas, Can Ronpes, Lago
Restaurante and Playa Azul. BiBaBo café and music bar on the
waterfront mixes the best of British with some Spanish dishes for
families wanting the best of both worlds.
Shopping
The town centre in S'Illot offers very few shopping
opportunities, although visitors may find more variety in nearby
areas such as Sa Coma.
