Puerto de Soller
 

A mere two and a half miles from Soller, Puerto de Soller has a homey family feel to it. Flanked by cliffs on both sides of a horseshoe-shaped bay, Puerto de Soller has ample cafes, bars and restaurants overlooking its impressive marina.

The only port on this side of the island, Soller is often referred to as an 'island within an island' as it is virtually cut off from the rest of Majorca by the Sierra de Tramuntana Mountain range. Its isolated position has meant that not too much has changed over the last few decades and it has lost little of its peace and historic charm. Puerto de Soller has two sandy beaches and scuba diving is quite popular off the coast of Puerto de Soller.



Full of character, Puerto de Soller is one of the island's natural beauty spots. The port nestles beside a vast circular bay, with great mountains rising steeply above the harbour. Take a stroll along the waterfront and enjoy a drink at one of the many open-air cafes and bars, or venture out into the surrounding area to discover the picturesque villages and lemon groves of the Soller valley.

Puerto de Soller is set in a valley of orange and lemon groves between the sea and the mountains on the northwest coast. Just inland from Puerto de Soller lies the town of Soller, which is well worth exploring and can be reached by an enjoyable ride on the old fashioned trams. Orange Express trams pass through scenic citrus fruit orchards from Soller to the port and depart regularly from both the station and main square.
