Puerto Soller is an unspoilt resort in a picturesque setting on the west coast of Mallorca. We found it to be an atractive town with a nice beach and a good selection of restaraunts. However, during the festival week, which this year was the first week of July, loud music is played from a platform by the marina which sometimes continues through the night until 6am ! Don't even think about booking during the festival week if you value a good nights sleep.

The road from Soller to Pollenca is windy and dangerous but so worth the trip. While the picture here shows it in a snowstorm (very beautiful I think) it's obviously great in summertime as well. There are several obvious places to pull off and have a day-hike or eat a packed lunch. I think the reservoir halfway between the two points is great. See tip on Lluca as well, as that's on the drive and only a few miles off the main road.

A visit to Port de Sóller is an absolute must when visiting the beautiful island of Majorca. Its geology makes Port de Sóller unique. Bays with crystal clear waters and yet it is surrounded by mountains. The views are stunning! The resort has the infrastructure to cater for all visitors, with hotels, restaurants, discos, bars, pubs and shops to suit all tastes and budgets. And it could beware a nice 60s charme.
Port de Sóller also boasts the services of "El Tranvia" which is arguably the most quaint tramcar in Europe.
