  • In this video from Port de Soller Mallorca, find out the good, the bad and the expensive in this popular destination for holidaymakers and day trippers.
    With all the press coverage about tourism saturation, I take a look at Port de Soller walking from Repic Beach to Port de Soller centre. We take a look at prices in restaurants, we see how busy the beaches are, I check out the price of sunbeds, taxis and the historical tram, and I'll let you decide whether Port de Soller is good, bad or expensive.
    This video was filmed in June 2024.

    It’s just lovely, and not too many people. The prices reflect the exclusivity of the resort and the prettiness. I didn’t think the prices were too high. Thanks Alex.

    Thank you for this video Alex, most enjoyable and good to see Puerto de Soller again. We stayed for our wedding anniversary in October 2019 at what is now the Pure Salt Hotel, I could see it behind you at the start of the video. Was an excellent place to stay then, with great views of the bay and the mountains in the distance, especially at night time from the roof top restaurant. The staff were superb too. October was a good time to visit, the whole area being not particularly busy, with very pleasant weather still. Thoroughly enjoying all your videos.

    Visited here on monday after your video recommend to check it out. Looked a lovely place but took an excursion with TUI on and they only stopped for 12 mins, ridiculous Tui. Tram to Soller looked lovely again but only for 30mins stop. 😢 Would highly recommend visiting by booking yourself direct and having more free time to explore.

    Love both Soller and Port de Soller, however, far too busy from mid June to mid September and sometimes impossible to get on the tram from the Port to Soller and if you do it’s nose to nose and stifling hot - sadly won’t be back - nice to see your video though.

  • @brewstergallery

    Please please do NOT send more tourists on the TIB buses. They are so crowded and it is becoming more and more an issue. Local people need to travel to work or doctor appointments and cannot get on the bus because of too many tourists. The buses get filled in the Port and people in Soller cannot get on.
