Sóller, nestled on the island of Majorca, offers a picturesque escape for a long weekend. A short flight from London, followed by a 30-minute taxi ride, leads to the charming Port de Sóller. The Jumeirah hotel, perched on a clifftop, provides stunning views of the sea and the Tramuntana mountains, with room rates starting from £680.
Culinary Delights and Coastal Views
For an evening meal, Kingfisher in the port is recommended for seafood enthusiasts. Situated slightly elevated and set back from the main thoroughfare, it's an ideal spot for a romantic dinner. The restaurant's grilled whole fish of the day is a highlighted dish.
Saturday morning begins with breakfast featuring local fruits and freshly squeezed juices. The hotel's 360-degree views encompass the Mediterranean Sea and the Tramuntana mountains. A vintage tram ride takes visitors to Sóller town, where cultural attractions like the Can Prunera art nouveau villa, showcasing works by Picasso, Miró, and Matisse, can be explored.
The old town invites exploration of its shops, leading to the bustling Plaza de la Constitución. Here, visitors can enjoy a kalimotxo, a mix of red wine and cola, before visiting the Sant Bartomeu church.
Leisurely Afternoon and Evening
Lunch can be enjoyed back at the port at Noname, offering dishes such as grilled octopus and pulled-pork tacos with spicy pineapple, while observing the yachts in the harbor. The afternoon is suited for a leisurely stroll along the port, followed by a swim in the sea. A shuttle service is available for the walk back to the hotel.
Evenings can be spent at Jumeirah's rooftop Sunset Lounge, accessible to non-hotel guests. Signature cocktails, such as the Sóller Spritz, can be paired with dishes like sea bass ceviche and sushi.
Sunday Excursion
Sunday offers an opportunity to charter Jumeirah's private yacht for a trip to Sa Foradada. This distinctive rock formation is home to a restaurant renowned for its wood-fired paella, which requires advance booking.
