How to get to the Port of Sóller

Visitors can enjoy beaches, stroll along the boulevard, and enjoy restaurants. It is an ideal destination for families, with activities such as water sports and boat trips. It is an important tourist resort and nautical center, ideal for enjoying water activities and trips on the Mediterranean Sea.

Port of Sóller is located in a natural bay in the Serra de Tramuntana, a mountainous area declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is the outlet to the sea of a valley surrounded by mountains. The port combines its traditional fishing activity with tourism, with marinas offering moorings for recreational boats.

Nearby towns: It is located about 3 km from the town of Sóller.

Access to Port of Sóller
By road: From Palma, take the Ma-11 road to Sóller. From there, you can continue on the same road to the port.
By tram: A historic tram, running approximately every half hour, connects the train station in Sóller village with the port. This journey is a tourist attraction in itself, as it passes through fields of orange and lemon trees.
By sea: The entrance to the bay is marked by a lighthouse on the west side and a beacon on the east side.
By public transport (from Palma): You can reach the port by bus (line 204) from Palma’s intermodal station, located in the lower part of the station opposite Plaza de España. The bus departs from platform number 9.
How to get to the Port of Sóller? Getting by car
The fastest route is via the Ma-11 highway and the Sóller tunnel. If for any reason you want to avoid the tunnel (which has been free for years and no longer charges a toll), you can take the old road, although it is slower. The main drawback is finding parking in Port of Sóller, as much of the area is ORA (paid parking).
