Life is Better in Bikini
Carrer de Migjorn, 207108 Port de Sóller, Illes Balears, Spain
“Settled upon a hillside in the west coast of Mallorca, and surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, Bikini Island & Mountain Hotel Port de Sóller was to be my home away from home for my first ever solo trip”
My last minute decision to visit Sóller’s outlet to the sea; Port de Sóller was quick and easy, simply because its nature as a picturesque little village stowed away from all the hustle and bustle was very appealing. An apparent change from what I’m used to here in London.
Settled upon a hillside in the west coast of Mallorca, and surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, Bikini Island & Mountain Hotel Port de Sóller was to be my home away from home for my first ever solo trip and what a great choice it was...
With it being my first time in Mallorca, I had faith that the fairly new Design Hotel would play a big part in making my short stay on the Balearic Island a good one as soon I pulled up to its entrance with my super friendly driver.
One thing I really appreciated during my stay was the super friendly and attentive staff. They were there to help at any given time and doing so with smiles on their faces. They seemed to enjoy each other’s and guests’ company which was nice to witness.

Food. Another favourite aspect of mine when it comes to this amazing hotel.
Every morning you can dig into a spread of Mallorquin to Mid-Eastern buffet-style breakfast that will have you spoilt for choice and take in the stunning view over the harbour of Port de Sóller from the creatively styled roof terrace; breakfast with a view.
This is also the same location for Neni restaurant. The popular restaurant owned by the Molcho family, serves up a mesmerising and eclectic mix of both Israeli and local cuisine, that most certainly satisfied my hunger. I’d highly recommend trying their meat stuffed ‘cigars’ and chicken sharwarma, and it’s best to arrive on a very empty stomach!
The Pikkini Bar set up by the poolside was perfect for grabbing something light during the afternoons. You could find me propped up on a sheltered sun-bed, devouring a plate of hot wings with a side of sweet potato fries, sipping on a watermelon mint smoothie!
The Donkey bar is your go to spot for a good cocktail or two (maybe three?) and a great location to enjoy an amazing view of the harbour too.
From the outdoor pool stamped with its infamous floral peace sign, to the sauna, afternoon Pikkini Bar, Donkey Bar, Santaverde Spa, and every room boasting a good view, no doubt will you find it hard to leave the premise!.
When you do decide to leave (trust me, it’s hard), Bikini are at hand with services to make your experience on the island that much better offering activities to partake in around the village and providing free of charge services to Bikini guests such as car and bike rentals!
A stay at Bikini Island & Mountain Hotel is highly recommended if you are to ever retreat to Mallorca, as it makes for the perfect place to unwind, do you, relax and discover the island. As they would say, “Life is better in Bikini.”...
Big thanks to Bikini Island & Mountain Hotel and Design Hotels for hosting me on this special occasion. As always all images and opinions are my own.
