Things to do and see on holiday in Soller
The beach of Soller is situated in a cove, with sparkling waters that seem to disappear around a rocky corner leaving only a small tranquil area to sit. With no sand or sunbeds this isn’t a popular place for many tourists but is perfect if you want a slice of paradise to yourself.
If you want to experience a slightly busier atmosphere, Soller Port is 2km away from the village itself but it is definitely worth a trip, and can be reached by taking an old style red wooden tram. There are two great beaches there, as well as a large palm tree bordered marina filled with lots of different boats.
A holiday to Soller truly is about the great outdoors. Walkers, hikers, climbers and cyclists will be in their element here. There are tons of routes to take including on road, dirt track and mountainous ranges and there are a number of guidebooks advising which routes are suitable for whom.
Being such a renowned area of natural beauty, Soller wouldn’t be complete without its own botanic gardens. There are 11 areas in total, linked by gorgeous pathways and filled with different species of plants, trees and flowers, each its own section of bliss. On a sunny day the surrounding mountains can be seen extending into the bright blue skies making it a wonderful place for you to wander round leisurely.
The Placa Constitucio is the quaint main square in Soller, filled with mature trees and bordered by traditional Spanish buildings complete with green wooden shutters and iron railing balconies.
