Port de Soller, Mallorca: The GOOD, The BAD & the EXPENSIVE

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.

Hi Alex, I am new to your videos. I really appreciate the time you take to make your videos fantastic. They’ve helped me so much to plan our first trip to Mallorca in a few weeks. By the way, I love your accent.

Thanks so much Nancy ! Welcome to the channel 🤗

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.

Thanks for this amazing video. You know that the Port is our happy place. We are already bracing ourselves for the rise in costs when we get there, the hotel was also way more this year.

Ten years ago, I selected this place as my retirement spot - before they built the tunnel. Since then, its off my list sadly, due to mass tourism and the astonishing price hikes. Disappointed it's gone this way. I miss the old days.

We absolute love Port Soller, but similarly it seems to be getting busier every year. It makes me wonder what is left in Mallorca! @ozmunky where is your new selection?

@peterjones7782 Ай бұрын

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.

I stayed at the Miramar around 1965 . The beach was a narrow strip and only a few boats about. The resort is unrecognisable now.

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.
