L'Avenida earns its place by putting you inside Sóller: a small, adults-only house with a pool, people who know where to book dinner, and the tram and the mountains within walking distance. Pay for a Luxury Suite, come between March and October, and pack for the stairs. A twelve-room house in the middle of a working mountain town: you sleep and swim here, then eat out every night on the staff's tips. It is small, quiet and adults-only, with no dinner, no spa and no beach at the door.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
Book it for the village and the mountain view from about 180 euros a night, and take the room with the balcony. Pack light: the stairs come with the convent. A small, characterful village house rather than a resort: an old convent with simple rooms, a terrace facing the mountains, a small pool and the square of Fornalutx on the doorstep. You come for the place and the price, and you eat out.
