About 40 minutes north of Palma lies the serene town of Port de Sóller. Surrounded by the UNESCO world heritage Tramuntana mountains, and overlooking the Mediterranean, the town makes an ideal base for those seeking adventure. Here are seven unforgettable excursions you can take from Port de Sóller.

Orange Fields Experience

Port de Sóller rose to prominence in the 19th century thanks to its citrus fruit trade, and nearly 200 years later, fruit is still at the heart of its culture. This guided tour will show how many of Port de Sóller’s local products are made using over 50 different types of fruit trees, before heading down to the vibrant Sa Vinyassa Orchard, an 18,000sqm plot under the golden Aflabia Ridge, bursting with oranges and lemons.

Tramuntana Sunset Boat Trip

This romantic trip leaves Port de Sóller in the late afternoon and takes you along the immaculate coast of Mallorca. While the calm azure waves gently lap against the boat, you can take in Port de Sóller’s rugged cliffs, framed by the gently rising Tramuntana peaks behind. Take a dip in the warm waters and then bid farewell to the sun as it sinks into the Med.

Cabrera National Park Experience

Established in 1991, Cabrera is Mallorca’s most pristine natural environment. The park is comprised of 19 islands off the southern coast, and is a haven for marine life, from endangered turtles to playful whales. Visit the charming coastal town of Colonia de Sant Jordi to board a private speedboat out to the archipelago.

Exclusive Helicopter Tour

Take in the island’s stunning coastal panoramas from the sky. Flying above and between the Tramuntana mountains, the Jumeirah helicopter tour is an exhilarating experience. Dip down close to the cerulean waters and coral reefs, and rise to take in the aerial majesty of the Sóller Valley. The flight lasts for 90 memorable minutes, and is followed by a decadent lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the sea.

Hike & Wine

Are you a wine connoisseur looking to expand your knowledge on wines from Mallorca? Are you also keen on exploring the fascinating landscape of the island? If so, the Hike & Wine experience is just the one for you. Embark on a picturesque hiking route that winds through the beautiful landscape of inland Mallorca. Enjoy the iconic scenery and explore the flora and fauna along the way while you take advantage of the explanations provided by your expert local guide. After the impressive hiking trail you will be rewarded with a private visit to a family-run wine estate.

It’s the best way to reward yourself after your hiking efforts.

Explore Mallorca by Bike

Mallorca is an incredible cycling destination, and Jumeirah Port Sóller Hotel & Spa is a great place to base yourself for a serious week of riding. The hotel has spent more than a year mapping out the island’s best routes with renowned Tour de France stage winner David Millar, giving guests insider access to the area’s most scenic rides. Whether you’re an aficionado with your own road bike, or a beginner looking to explore on two wheels rather than four, we’re sure you’ll fall in love with cycling in Mallorca.

The Art of Olive Oil

On a private tour through the ancient olive trees, you will learn about the annual harvests and centuries old origins of the trees as well as the history of the estate. Enjoy the silence and the unique fragrances of the Mediterranean countryside in a backdrop second to none. Amongst the groves stands a charming cottage, where you will enjoy a traditional ‘merienda’, or lunch prepared in a stone oven. The freshly baked local bread, sobrasada, marmalades and olive oil will take you to the very roots of traditional Mallorcan home-cooking and deliver an authentic escape.
