In Port de Sóller the Mallorcan lifestyle meets gentle tourism in a maritime atmosphere. The popular holiday destination is located in the west of the island and is surrounded by rugged mountain slopes and wide, natural forest patches. Adjacent to the glamorous marina lies a hundreds of meters long sandy beach, known for its unique panorama. The historic tram that glides directly over the beach promenade is particularly spectacular. Visitors will find playful dresses and timeless classics in the romantic boutiques on the harbour and beach promenade. A wider selection of international shops can be found in Sóller, which is less than half an hour away by historic tram. Those who wish to get something for the beach will surely find what they need in the numerous beach shops at the Platja d’en Repic.
HIGHLIGHTS AROUND PORT DE SÓLLER
ORANGE EXPRESS
Port de Sóller is famous for its unique railway culture. The Tranvía makes its way between street cafés and citrus groves, the paradisiacal beach and quaint houses of the city. The historical tram reminds of San Francisco or Lisbon. And this is no coincidence: some of the orange carriages in fact come from the tram reservoir of the Portuguese capital. A trip to the city of the oranges is absolutely worthwhile.
PLATJA D’EN REPIC
Families watch out: Opposite the harbour basin, the Platja d’en Repic with fine, light sand and gentle waves awaits sun-hungry mermaids. The colourful beach shops provide everything to make children’s eyes sparkle. Enjoy Caribbean feeling with a refreshing drink at the beach bar. This beautiful stretch of beach is only a short walk away from the marina.
CAP ROIG RESTAURANT
The Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa is a 5-star hotel, proudly perched on the cliffs above Port de Sóller. The jewel of the complex is the Cap Roig, a gourmet restaurant at lofty heights. Highlight of the restaurant is the panoramic terrace with a fantastic view of the Mediterranean Sea.
