Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa

In the northwest of the island of Mallorca, the Serra de Tramuntana plunges dramatically into the Mediterranean. Located on the coast’s only bay, the Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa is nestled between the infinite sea and a majestic mountain. Its contact with the elements has given this five star hotel a fuller, more generous soul.

All of our senses are awakened as we enter the reception area. Fragrances of diffused fresh mint begin to stimulate our sense of smell as the sound of the ocean titillates our ears. The warm ambiance of the hotel contrasts with the cool temperatures of the building even in the summer heat.

The noble materials used for the decor delights our sense of touch, like the magnificent Mallorcan stone used to decorate the reception area. For our sense of sight, the hotel’s rooms are the place to go, where vast private terraces, a luxury in Spain, offer guests magnificent views of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. Inundated with light, the 120 rooms are decorated delicately and in excellent taste. The light beige and brown tones create a sense of elegance and serenity to these luxurious little cocoons.

Built high on the mountainside, the hotel seems to float above the water. More than 800 meters separate the immense Observatory Suite, one of the highest, from the Lighthouse Suite further down. The 2200 square meter spa with its hammam, ice fountain, steam bath and heated outdoor pool is an absolute must. The treatments proposed use a base of local products including oranges, olives, almonds, avocados and citrus fruit.

In order to take full advantage of the island’s splendor, a panoramic bar provides a superb view of the sea and the mountain. After a few laps in the magnificent infinity swimming pool, it’s time to enjoy the sunset, before dining at the Caproig, one of the hotel’s two restaurants, with an a la carte menu highlighting fresh fish and shellfish.

Located on a long forgotten coast, the Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa enables it guests to enjoy the joys of being surrounded by sensational nature. This veritable 5 stars luxury ocean liner moving toward the sea, proposes a veritable cruise through the heart of the elements.

Until the installation in 1997 of a three kilometers tunnel carved into the rock, Port Soller was very isolated from the rest of the island. It was easier for local inhabitants to get their supplies from French ships which came to trade their wares in the harbor.
