Morning hike & a visit to Sóller
Start the day with a short but breathtaking hike around and above Lake Cúber, surrounded by stunning mountain views and blue waters. Afterward, explore the charming streets of Sóller, before ending the day with a relaxing dinner at Port de Sóller, enjoying the sunset by the waterfront.
Hike to Puig de L'Ofre
The hike from Lake Cúber to Puig de l'Ofre is a 11 km round trip, taking about 4 hours to complete, with an elevation gain of approximately 500 meters. Park your car at the Cúber lake and start your hike along the right side of the lake, before ascending through the valley and pine forests. At Coll de l'Ofre (875m), you can detour to a viewpoint overlooking Sóller Valley and the Mediterranean. A final steep section leads to the summit of Puig de l'Ofre, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views before heading back to Lake Cúber. You can also decide to take another route back by descending the mountain at the other side, but make sure to have some form of navigation when doing so.
An afternoon in Sóller
Soller’s old town is a charming and picturesque area filled with narrow streets, colorful buildings, and a mix of local shops and eateries. Start your tour at the Plaça Constitució, the town’s main square, which is home to the Soller Cathedral and a variety of cafes and restaurants. After exploring the cathedral, make your way down the narrow streets that lead away from the square. You’ll find plenty of small shops selling everything from handmade ceramics to local produce and souvenirs.
Lunch at Can Tamany
Located right across Parroquia de Sant Bartomeu de Sóller at the main town square, restaurant Can Tamany is a hidden gem in plain sight. Take a seat at one of their Parisian chairs and enjoy the really good Tinto de Verano, croquetas, patatas bravas and tempura asparagus.
Take the Tranvía de Soller
Take the Tranvía de Soller
The Soller Tramway has been in operation since 1913 and has become one of the best ways to discover the historical and cultural heritage of the area. You can just hop on the tram at the Placa de Espanya and hop off at Port de Soller for 9 euros p.p.
Apero at Villa Luisa
Villa Luisa is a historic summer villa in Port de Soller. With unobstructed views of the water and a spacious terrace providing the perfect setting for a Mallorcan sunset, Villa Luisa has a romantic ambiance. We only stayed for a glass of cava to watch the sunset, but the menu was also very appealing.
Kingfisher: the best dining spot of Port de Soller?
Maybe it's the view. Maybe it's the nice staff. Maybe it's the delicious, organic food. Kingfisher at Port de Soller has our hearts. Don't forget to order bread (they make it themselves) with butter (3 kinds) before having your meal.
