THE REGION
The remote Port de Sóller in northwest Mallorca is a picturesque, small coastal village which has become well known and popular, particularly due to its historic tram, large bay with a protected harbour and scenic surroundings.
Port de Sóller’s setting alone is a sight in itself: surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Tramuntana mountain range, the huge protected bay with its anchored boats rocking gently to and fro, the vast expanse of the sea in front and sprawling orange groves in the distance.

One of the most popular attractions within this area is the Palma Aquarium, which can be found just over half an hour away from Villa Hereu. This establishment allows guests to gain a more intimate view of some of the world’s most beautiful creatures, including humpback whales and dolphins. In fact, this aquarium provides the only 360° whale-watching experience in the whole of Europe, making it a truly unmissable attraction. This admirable tourist destination also works tirelessly alongside the Marine Fauna Recovery Centre of the Balearic Islands, helping to educate children on the importance of conservation and the looming impact of climate change.
Can Prunera is based inside a decadent manor house and gives children a chance to explore a wealth of art from some of the most prolific artists of the 20th century. As soon as you step inside, you will be taken aback by the vast number of Modernist pieces that this gallery holds, ensuring that guests can gain a firm understanding of the importance of this movement. Travelling down to the basement level of this museum, you will come across an authentic contemporary kitchen, complete with dated furnishings and appliances. Thus, this is a great learning experience for children as it gives them a better understanding of the recent past. Can Prunera is situated just a few minutes away from the villa.

These immense exhibitions are located inside Soller’s local train station, which is based just under 5 minutes away from Villa Hereu. Take your time during this experience, ensuring that you examine each alluring piece in full detail. You will also have the privilege of observing over 50 ceramics, all of which were created by Picasso from 1948 to 1971.
