Find out here the hotels in Mallorca that sum up the local, authentic experience of the Mediterranean – tried and tested by Dr Helen Cummins.

Just what is it that makes Jumeirah Port Sóller so special? Many would say it’s the stunning swimming pool, with an infinity edge that blends seamlessly with the vibrant blues of the Mediterranean horizon it overlooks. Others might point to the sumptuous signature suites, where state-of-the-art technology combines with world-class levels of luxury. For some it would be the hotel’s outstanding food offerings, which range from fine-dining locally inspired cuisines to Asian – Peruvian fusions.
However, even these highlights can’t compete with what most agree sets it truly apart: the setting. Perched along a dramatic cliff top high above Port Sóller, the location provides not only spectacular sea views from countless vantage points, but sweeping vistas across the surrounding Tramuntana sierra and down to the picturesque crescent-shaped bay below.
And as the stunning panoramas are sure to exceed expectations, it is the cornerstone philosophy of the Jumeirah to do the same for all aspects of a guest’s stay. ‘Beyond expectations’ is a mantra that staff are committed to fulfilling, with an attentive yet delicately unobtrusive manner to ensure visitors are well looked after, but have space to relax to the fullest.
Another element integral to the hotel’s ethos is a connection to Mallorca, its culture, cuisine and inhabitants. An almost endless choice of options are available to guests keen to immerse themselves in the island, from gin tasting and wine trekking to horse riding and ballooning. This extends to reaching out to those who already live here, too – with the awarding-winning spa and dining open to the island’s residents, the hotel is keen to foster inclusivity and connectedness with the local community.
The Jumeirah Port Sóller is celebrating its ninth season this year, promising to build on its success with exciting new additions to its offerings that include vegan spa products and a redesigned sunset restaurant. But while this five-star hotel continues to evolve and improve its impressive range of services and facilities, the timeless beauty of its natural surroundings will continue to ensure its genuine uniqueness and a deserving place amongst the best hotels on the island – if not the world.
