Sóller is nestled in a valley in the northwestern part of Mallorca, framed by the dramatic peaks of the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Its strategic location offers easy access to both the mountains and the coast, with the Port of Sóller just a short drive away, offering picturesque beaches and a charming marina. The town itself is surrounded by lush groves of citrus trees, which contribute to the area’s famous orange and lemon production.
Nearby, the capital city of Palma de Mallorca is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) away, providing easy access to major city amenities while Sóller remains a tranquil escape. Other significant landmarks include the island’s rugged coastline, ideal for hiking and cycling, as well as picturesque villages like Fornalutx and Deià, both of which are worth exploring for their stunning vistas and artistic heritage.
Sóller enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, temperate winters. The best time to visit is between May and October, when the weather is perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and beach visits. However, the town also has a special charm in the spring when the citrus blossoms are in full bloom, filling the air with a fragrant aroma.
