Soller’s beaches

Soller is situated three kilometres from its port on the north west coast of the Island of Mallorca, about half an hour from the capital, Palma. There is a great train journey on a vintage train to Palma with some great views on the way.  It is an attractive place in a bowl-shaped valley, which is large and fertile and well known for its olive trees and orange groves.  It is surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.  In the town you will find a lovely square with plenty of cafes and bars serving tapas.  There is a tram which will take you the five kilometres to the natural harbour, Port de Soller, where you will find a lovely beach, shops and restaurants and is very popular with tourists.  The lighthouse, El Far del Cap Gros, is at the entrance to the bay and there are boat trips that you can take.
