Jumeirah Group has opened its first European resort.

Nestled on the bay of Sóller in Mallorca (Spain), the Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa is located in the northwest of the island of Mallorca.

Puerto de Sóller is a small fishing village famous for its bay, its port and its location, one of the most charismatic sites in the island: the Orange Valley found in the Sierra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Crowning a cliff overlooking the splendid bay of Sóller, the Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa occupies an area of 18,000 square meters, offering 120 rooms and suites, two restaurants, four bars, two swimming pools and Talise Spa.

The resort is divided into 11 low-rise structures with the interiors selected in order to create a contemporary and comfortable look.

The resort features two restaurants, Es Fanals and Cap Roig, the latter aiming to become a culinary must on the island thanks to its creative cuisine with a strong local accent and the use of the freshest seasonal products.

For leisure, the hotel boasts three terraces, one of them ideal for watching the sun go down whilst enjoying cocktails and tapas. Young pirates aged three to 12 will appreciate the Barbaroja Kids Club, while teenagers and adults will be able to enjoy the guided tours, cooking classes and yoga sessions on offer.

The prime location of Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa will offer nature lovers the chance to explore by foot or on mountain bikes almost 200 kilometres of tracks that run along the coast or golf at any of the 26 courses on the island. There is the opportunity to go diving, snorkelling and fishing; the hotel can also arrange boat rentals with experienced skippers who will guide guests to secluded beach coves.

Talise is Jumeirah’s global spa brand. Talise Spa at Jumeirah Port Soller occupies over 2,200 square meters and offers magnificent views over the Port of Sóller and the Sierra de Tramuntana.

It features 10 treatment suites and a thermal area equipped with a Hammam, an ice room, a glass-panelled sauna overlooking the valley, a relaxation room with fireplace and an outdoor heated Hydropool.

Designed to set a new standard in the Spanish wellness sector, Talise Spa offers a complete programme of treatments that combine the latest cosmetic innovations from prestigious brands like Barcelona-based Natura Bissé, Aromatherapy Essentials, Linda Meredith and Bastién Gonzalez.

The Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa has been designed to stimulate all five senses, with a daily selection of local seasonal fruits in every room, a fragrance chart to scent the room to the guests’ taste, hand massages, or orange aromas in the lobby to recreate the characteristic smell of citrus of the Sóller Valley.
