Options for flying over Sóller
Sóller lies on the far side of the Serra de Tramuntana from Palma, so a scenic flight includes it as part of a wider route. There are three options: two companies based at Son Bonet and a private flight advertised by a hotel in the Port.
We give no prices, which depend on the route and the season: ask the operator. If you would rather see the coast from the water, compare with boat trips.
