Located in the town of Port de Soller on the northwest coast of Mallorca, the expansive bay of Soller offers the only sandy turf along Mallorca’s western coast. This popular tourist destination and lovely resort offers two beach areas within its horseshoe shaped bay, surrounded by natural beauty and the Tramuntana mountains, the golden sands, clear blue seas and superb sea views all make it one of Mallorca’s top beach destinations amidst some of the island’s finest scenery. A train runs directly from Palma to Soller which connects hourly to the vintage tram taking you directly down to the port, making the bay easily accessible from the island’s city centre. Our webcam at the Port de Soller gives a great view of the beach and sometimes catches the tram as it tootles by!

Restaurants
The Port of Soller is lined with a variety of beach bars and restaurants. It’s a superb place for sundowners with a sparkling sea view. Make sure you book in advance over the busy summer months, or you could be left with your second (or more likely third) choice of restaurant!
Nightlife
Being a relatively quiet and peaceful coastal town, the beachfront bars and marina area are about as lively as it gets. That be said, the bay is full of ambience with an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, lots of live music and occasional DJ performances. Livelier evening entertainment can be found in some of their trendiest hotel bars, but if you’re after anything more than cocktails up to midnight, Palma is only 40 minutes’ drive away.
Hotels
Known for its tranquillity and natural beauty, it’s no surprise that Soller possesses a selection of hotels to choose from, varying from affordable to 5*. Eco-friendly boutique hotels can be found in the narrow streets behind the beach, with luxury brands boasting clifftop terraces overlooking the entire bay.
