Set high above Port de Sóller on the unspoilt northwest coast of the island, Jumeirah Mallorca is a secluded sanctuary near the magnificent UNESCO Heritage Serra de Tramuntana. An emblem of Sóller Valley’s exclusivity, the hotel is the most desirable setting for a serene escape.

Stylish and tranquil, the hotel offers 121 bright and spacious sea- and mountain-facing rooms covering 18,000 square metres and featuring recently refurbished suites. Each room is perfectly designed for home-from-home living with private terraces providing expansive views of the Mediterranean or the Tramuntana range. There are three Signature Suites at the hotel, the appropriately named Lighthouse and Observatory suites, plus the multi-level Mar Blau Villa with its own private entrance.

To begin the customer journey, as you enter the hotel lobby, you will be engaged by the striking art installations, including a sculpture by internationally renowned local artist Francesca Marti and an overall collaboration with Palma’s iconic Gerhardt Braun Gallery.

The award-winning and majestic Talise Spa and Fitness provides a sanctuary for anyone seeking rejuvenation, featuring extensive amenities and expert therapists.  It is the only Spa on the island with a dramatic view from the hydropool and loungers right across the Tramuntana. Open to non-hotel guests for treatments and day passes, seasonal memberships are also available.

The hotel hosts five restaurants including signature dining at Cap Roig Brasserie, Es Fanals Restaurant, and Nikkei inspired cuisine at Sunset Lounge, each offering panoramic vistas over the azure blue waters, that create the perfect photo for the Instagrammers amongst us. All restaurants are available to book by non-hotel guests.
Perched on the cliffs overlooking the serene Port de Sóller, Es Fanals is redefining luxury in the dining experience, marrying breathtaking views with exquisite cuisine. The restaurant’s location provides a stunning backdrop of the Tramuntana mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, enhancing every moment spent here.

The restaurant is a true clifftop retreat, an oasis of tranquillity and elegance and a far cry from the city-based fine dining venues in Palma. The ambience is sophisticated yet inviting, perfect for a special treat. The decor wonderfully complements the natural beauty surrounding the restaurant, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special celebration.

On 22nd June, 40 guests saw Executive Chef Javier Lopez combine his creative genius with the culinary mastery of Jumeirah Capri Palace and Jumeirah Burj Al Arab’s two-Michelin-starred Executive Culinary Chef Andrea Migliaccio. A whole host of unforgettable gastronomic moments were experienced as guests sampled a unique ten-course tasting menu with a carefully curated wine pairing. Highlights included the tagliolini al limone with red prawns, burrata cheese, oyster leaf and glasswort paired with a Sicilian white from the soils of Mount Etna.

Recently listed by the Michelin Guide Spain, the restaurant’s philosophy is to elevate the authentic flavours from the Balearic Islands to the centre stage and champion local, seasonal ingredients. The tasting menus available from Tuesday to Sunday until November are a culmination of the freshest local fish and seafood, artfully prepared and presented by expert chefs and overseen by Javier Lopez. Dining at Es Fanals is not just about the food; it’s about the entire experience. The stunning views, exceptional cuisine, and top-notch service make it a must-visit for anyone in Port Sóller. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to indulge in a memorable meal, Es Fanals is redefining luxury and will exceed your expectations.

The most central base for exploring the region of the northern coastline is the hotel, so although it is tempting to squander days in the clifftop infinity pool, gazing at the horizon and enjoying the hospitality, the mountainous UNESCO World Heritage–listed coast is riddled with hiking and cycling trails. The hotel serves as the perfect gateway to an array of unforgettable experiences – why not stay at the hotel and have the Concierge team curate an unforgettable excursion? You can cruise or sail from Port de Sóller on a superyacht and discover secret coves and crystalline waters that you have not dropped anchor at before. As the sun dips low, casting an ethereal glow across the rugged landscape, nature’s daily masterpiece unfolds. The sunsets, whether experienced from the hotel’s Sunset Lounge or from a yacht nearby, are truly unforgettable. And, if you have never visited one of the island’s orange orchards, then taste the sweetness of Soller’s local orange fields at Sa Vinyassa, an expansive 18,000-square-metre orchard.

Overall, sink into the rhythm of island life, where Jumeirah’s warm hospitality enriches the allure of this destination within a destination.
