Hotel Es Port

A fortified 17th-century house in the port

The Hotel Es Port occupies a fortified 17th-century mansion on Carrer Antonio Montis in Port de Sóller, at the foot of the sierra. Around it are about 40,000 m² of grounds with native vegetation, centuries-old trees, terraces, Mediterranean gardens and an organic vegetable garden. It is a four-star hotel with 147 rooms spread over several buildings, with the old house in the centre.

Sleeping in the tower or in the historic building

The website lists nine room types. The most distinctive are the two in the defensive tower, with views the hotel highlights, and those in the historic part: the double in the historic building and the junior suites. There are also standard and superior doubles, suites, superior suites and a grand suite. Some have been renovated recently, though the website does not say which, and it does not publish sizes or views for each type: if sleeping in the 17th-century house or in the tower matters to you, ask for it specifically.

Three pools, spa and tennis

The outdoor pool is 25 metres long and has landscaped terraces and sunloungers; in summer a children's pool is also opened. The covered, heated 18-metre pool is part of the spa, which also has a hydromassage bath, foot bath, swan-neck and waterfall jets, sauna, steam bath, sensation showers and a treatment room. Spa access is free for guests, from 7:30 to 21:00. Children may enter from 10:00 to 15:00 with an adult, except in July and August, when it is adults only. Massages and rituals are booked separately, by writing to [email protected].

For activity, three tennis courts, two of them clay, and table tennis in summer.

Sa Possessió and Sa Figuera

Both kitchens are run by chef Xisco Arbona. Sa Possessió, the main restaurant, is in the house, beside the old tafona (olive mill), and serves dinners with an international menu. Sa Figuera is in the garden, beside the pool, with signature cooking based on Mallorcan recipes; it opens Monday to Saturday from 19:00 to 22:00 and is booked at [email protected] or on the hotel's phone number. The bar is called Sa Tafona. Outside the hotel, on the promenade, there are Randemar and, on Platja d'en Repic, Es Canyis.

Free parking in Port de Sóller

The hotel's private car park is free, and in a port where parking in season is costly, it is its clearest practical advantage. Leave the car there and get around on foot or by tram to Sóller; the pier for the boat to Sa Calobra is in the same port.

Booking and conditions

Reception is open 24 hours and you can check in online before arriving. The card only guarantees the booking: nothing is charged when you book and the bill is paid at the hotel. Cancelling or changing is free up to 24 hours before arrival; after that, or if you do not show up, they charge one night. The Balearic tourist tax is paid separately. The website does not publish check-in and check-out times or rules on pets: ask on 971 631 650 or at [email protected].
