Port de Soller is a stunning resort on the West Coast of Mallorca nestled in to a backdrop of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range dominated by the grand 'Puig Mayor', Mallorca's highest mountain at 1445m above sea level. Port de Soller's horseshoe shaped bay is enclosed by two headlands, each with it's own lighthouse, two sandy beaches & breathtaking coastal scenery. Add a truly magnificent climate & it's a little wonder why Port de Soller & Soller are a favourite destination for so many people from around the world, particularly those who have an interest in nature, ecotourism & those who enjoy walking, hiking, cycling, swimming or simply a relaxing break away from the hustle & bustle of the rest of Mallorca's well known tourist traps.

Guided walks and bicycle tours are also available catering for all levels of fitness. A short walk from the apartment will take you to the Museu de la Mar (Maritime Museum) with a viewing platform offering spectacular views across the coast & out to sea. Catch one of the regular day boat trips from Port de Soller's harbour side to the beautiful cove of Sa Calobra, where a 10 minute walk will take you to the scenic mountain canyon of Torrent de Pareis. If it's a breathtaking view of the port together with a few cheeky beverages you are after, then make sure you walk to Café Nautilus for cocktails on the terrace amidst the dramatic sunset.The Soller to Port de Soller tram is known locally as the “Orange Express” & is the only working tramway on the Island. Hop on just a minutes walk from your apartment & quickly find yourself in beautiful Soller Town steeped in history & boasting a good sprinkling of retail therapy, be sure to have coffee & 'people watch' in the beautiful main square, Placa Constitucio & don't miss Soller's Saturday market, perfect for cheeses, hams & other local specialities.
