What are the best scenic drives to take when heading to the marina in Port de Sóller?

The road winding from Sóller to its marina is famous for its breathtaking views, making this a must-do drive. Following the Ma-11 south from the town center, you’ll pass through terraced orange groves and steep valleys of the Serra de Tramuntana. The mountain scenery here is dramatic, with rocky peaks rising sharply on one side and glimpses of the Mediterranean along the other. Stop at the Mirador Es Cornador for a panoramic view over the village and bay below before descending to the port. This route perfectly balances rugged nature and traditional Mallorcan charm.

Alternatively, the coastal stretch along the Ma-10 from Port de Sóller towards Formentor to the northeast offers dazzling seaside outlooks. Here, cliffs drop into turquoise waters with small coves nestled below, reminiscent of Cala Tuent and Cala Deià a little further along. This drive, though longer, rewards with quiet beaches and Mediterranean pines. You can linger at Cala Deià’s beach café or explore the sunset-lit village of Deià on the way.

If coming from Palma, the TIB bus along the Ma-11 through Bunyola also showcases rolling hills and fragrant pine forests before arriving in Sóller. No matter which approach you choose, plan time to meander, stop often, and breathe in the wild beauty that surrounds this historic harbor. It’s a slow unfolding of island landscapes that few other journeys can match.
