Surrounded by gnarled citrus groves dating back as far as the 13th Century, Sóller is one of northern Mallorca's most beautiful destinations. A favourite with day-trippers from the south, it’s a fascinating historic town with a grand old centre and marvellous views towards coastal Port de Sóller and the majestic Sierra de Tramuntana mountains. Our list of the best places to stay in Sóller includes simple fincas as well as romantic restored mansions, all promising a tremendously memorable island escape.
A maze of narrow cobbled streets lined by houses of honey-coloured stone, Sóller will thrill on-foot explorers. Amble around the imposing Plaza de la Constitución, step into graceful Saint Bartholomew’s Church and pop into cool galleries, cafés and ice cream parlours. The gorgeous botanical gardens brim with flowers in the spring and summer, whilst the Art Nouveau building of the Can Prunera Museum of Modernism hides an impressive collection of modernist artworks. The town is abuzz during the weekly Saturday market — bring big bags for fresh produce and handicrafts!
For laid-back beach days, hop aboard the charming old tram to Port de Sóller, where you’ll find sandy beaches, a lively marina and plenty of opportunities for sailing trips. Eager hikers and cyclists can follow the Dry Stone Route through the mountains and conquer the Coll de Sóller before joining friends and family at traditional eateries for big lunches and dinners of Mediterranean delights.
Don't forget that this is a very popular little town. If you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Soller in the peak summer months, you'll need to get organised and book well ahead.
