A mountain valley of orange groves, a vintage tram, and a bay that feels like a secret.

The Valley

Where Mountains Meet the Sea

Sóller sits in a broad valley ringed by the highest peaks of the Tramuntana, its Art Nouveau townhouses and grand central square giving it a prosperous, unhurried character quite unlike the coastal resorts.

The famous vintage tram connects the town to Port de Sóller, a horseshoe bay of extraordinary beauty where the mountains meet the sea.
