Why We Love Port de Soller
Port de Soller is a stunning coastal village tucked between the mountains and the sea. It’s long been a favourite spot for discerning travellers wanting an upmarket vacation in Mallorca’s north west. It’s home to top hotels such as Jumeriah and Bikini Island, chic restaurants like Patiki Beach, a calm, sandy beach and amazing sunsets. It ticks all the boxes for a balance between nature and luxury.
You’re only a short drive from Soller town, hiking routes through the Tramuntana mountains and hidden coves with turquoise waters.
Port de Soller is most alive during the summer months but many of the hotels and restaurants are open year round. The winter months are also appealing for hiking trips and enjoying Mallorca’s mild temperatures between October-April.
Port de Soller is a 40 minute drive from both Palma and the airport. While the village it self is walkable, we recommend hiring a car to explore nearby villages and beaches.
