MUCBO | Jardí Botànic de Sóller

We loved it. Quiet and peaceful with not too many visitors. There are specific areas devoted to say ferns, medicinal, ornamental and succulents. Definitely worth a visit. But the café is very limited. Only cold drinks/ice creams were available. Coffee was just made from pods.

Very nice botanical garden with impressive cactus section. Fine way to spend an hour and a half…. Maybe more if you go when everything is blossoming. We liked it.

9 euro is steep for such a small botanic gardens. Ignoring the price, plenty of small birds such as finches and chifchafs to be seen. 45-60 mins to be spent in there.

Like many botanical gardens don't expect everything to be in bloom. Very peaceful and arranged into plants found in different areas of the islands. The museum is small but interesting and has information in several languages.

A nice garden close to the bus station of Soller. Quite difficult to get to by foot, as you have to step on the side of the road where no path for pedestrians is located, so a bit dangerous. The price was 8 Euro, which is a bit much if you consider how small the garden is. Also, there is a small museum from animals species that lived in ancient Mallorca. Unfortunately, the information was only available in Spanish.

Cute gardens that are a short 15 mins walk from the train station in Soller. Small shop with drinks and snacks inside with a museum upstairs. The gardens are beautiful and have lots of variety of plant life with many flowers and fruit-bearing plants. Staff is very nice and helpful.

This place is a haven of tranquility. As soon as you enter from the busy road you enter a different world . We went on a day when the weather was fine and we could enjoy the gardens. We also went into the house and explored the natural history exhibition which was really interesting . I do not speak Catalan or Spanish (typical Brit 😕) I used my Google translate to understand some of the narrative attached to the exhibits. Nevertheless it was really enjoyable.

Accessible on foot from the center of Soller, this botanical garden is a nice surprise. The entry allows you to visit the garden as well as the small natural science museum there. It’s rather small but well maintained gardens out there and very pleasant. The museum is located in a beautiful house and exhibits a beautiful collection (stones, fossils, animals...).

It looks small and maybe not very exciting. Stay more than 15 minutes and you'll be in love. From the road it looks like a small garden, vaguely going downhill, something possibly converted from an old house nobody could afford any more - and there are no glasshouses. Something happens as you start walking about, getting lost in the nonchalant paths that are at the same time deep labyrinths and simply logical: there is an inherent charm to these gardens that makes you want to stay and take your time. If you're used to botanic gardens, you'll find plants sorted according to the 'normal' categories: wet, dry, sunny, exotic, etc. Yet for once the distinction between each of them is done so sweetly that the garden moves away from being a simple catalog, to becoming a place where you're simply enjoying yourself. Other visitors seem to be on the same wavelength and everybody moves about as if in a dream. How long will it take you to realise that it's the same water trickling down from the top terrace to the one at the bottom? If it's springtime, how long can you resist before you stick your nose into one of those orange trees in full blossom? How guilty will you feel when you snatch that plump, ripe mandarin from that tree when nobody is watching, and want to cry when you compare with what you've been eating so far? The garden may be small, and far away, but spend an hour there and it feels like you've spent a week-end at someone's place who is going to be your friend forever. It's quite easy to find, specially if you took the old wooden train from Palma: right out of the station as you head towards the city square, turn left into the first street marked with a one-way sign, going against the traffic (Carrer d'Isabel II). Walk for five minutes until you get to the church then turn right into Cami de son Pons - a small street that soon joins up with a bigger road. Keep walking for three minutes and you'll find the garden on the right handside.
