Last month I had the pleasure of attending a FAM Trip hosted by the Jumeriah group, visiting the stunning island of Mallorca and the lovely town of Soller. The Jumeirah Port Soller is the groups only hotel in the Ballerics and what a gem it is.

I must say this was a fantastically planned trip and the other event planners and venue bookers agreed. Not only did we enjoy the hotel but we also discovered amazing venues close by that they recommend for clients looking for a multiple of spaces or something in particular.

Diving right into the heart of the trip… The Jumeirah Port Soller:

The hotel offers its guests amazing views of the port and the town. Offering 5 places to dine, 2 swimming pools, a spa & children’s club if needed.
We dined at the award winning fine dinning Es Fanals by Javier Soriano, to which I have to say exceed my expectations. We was served a few dishes which I do not usually eat such as Paella; however I always try a little out of respect for the host, but on this occasion I really enjoyed it. All the wait staff knew exactly what was being served and were incredibly attentive.

The rooms at the hotel were beautiful, having stayed in many of the Jumeriah hotels this one felt incredibly homely.

The event spaces on site are perfect for meetings, team building activities, small weddings and social celebrations. For larger events you are a stone throw away from some of Mallorca’s prettiest and versatile venues.

If views are your thing then you would not be disappointed. As you walk from your room to breakfast there are so many picturesque views. I think my favourite spot within the hotel had to be the Sunset Sushi Lounge, the views, the vibe the drinks. I was sold.

Outside of the hotel we visited a number of great venues:

Finca Son Termes

With 11 spaces correct 11 on offer we could create true experiences for clients at this venue. The history of this venue brings an air of richness and the variety of spaces had my creative juices going wild! The smallest of spaces can accommodate 20 reception style and the largest 1750 reception style. We would recommend this venue to a wide range of clients, MICE, Corporate & Social.

Finca Son Torgores

Is a simply stunning venue, a great space for meetings and small to medium social or corporate events and weddings. The beauty of this venue is the indoor/outdoor experience. The flow through the venue would allow you to have different locations on site offering a different experience.
The large outdoor space offers client the option to create their ideal wedding or engagement setting.

Sóller Botanic Garden
This had to be one of my favourite venues from the trip because it simply felt as though I was in the jungle in the middle of nowhere. This venue may not be for everyone but for those that love the outdoors or memorising backdrops this is for you. With so many little corners of beauty this venue would make a perfect wedding setting, photo shoot or fashion show location and social celebration spot. For brands launching a summer related product this would be a no brainer, lets get planning!

To top of a great trip we participated in some fabulously fun activities:

Cooking class at Gastroteca Mauricio
A lovely team that taught us the beauty in simplicity of Mallorcan dishes.

Site-seeing Segway Tours
We was lucky enough to site-see in style! Segways are not as easy as they look but they delivered the fun factor!
Starting off at the Cathedral and through the streets of the Old Town we really was able to see what Palma has to offer tourists, event hosts and its locals. An activity we would recommend to all our clients visiting the island especially if they love learning about history and cultures like I do.

To sum up the trip; I fell in love with the town of Soller and cannot wait to return to Jumeirah Port Soller.
I have already recommend the hotel to friends & clients both with children and without. A big thank you to Ester, Lucia & Agueda from the Jumeriah Group, Wendy from All about Flights and Ana from W2M.
A perfect spot for incentives, meetings, activation’s, weddings, large celebrations & simply a holiday; if you have any questions about the towns or interested hosting an event in Soller or Palma I can be reached at events@serenitylondon.co.uk.

To the point of the blog, over the last year we have found that 3 destinations have been incredibly popular amongst our Brides-to-Be. So we thought we would share with you our findings and some suggestions.

1. Dubai
Dubai is a great destination most of the year round, however August is incredibly hot and January is not as hot as you would expect. Although leaving England in Jan it may seem like it is boiling in comparison.
Dubai has something for all ages groups which is great if you have a mixed group of hen. Sun, Clubs, great restaurants and desert safaris! Hotels we recommend are The Fairmount The Palm, Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel and Suites and Sofitel Dubai Jumeriah Beach.

2. Paris
Paris has been a popular destination and still remains. The city offers beautiful scenery and a wide range of restaurants to satisfy all the parties pallets. The nightlife has been awarded for its diversity and stunning clubs. There are many bars and cafe's with beautiful views of the city and offer Cocktail Making Classes, Macron Classes and Afternoon Tea. The great selling point on paris is the short flight for such a fantastic getaway. Hotels we reccomend are Hotel De Vendome and Melia Royal Alma.

3. Vegas
Need I say more! Party till your hearts content day or night, eat at anytime of the day and enjoy shows that will blow your mind! Who wouldn't want to see JLO?.
Our most recommended hotels for Hen or Stags are Cosmopolitan, Aria and Encoure.

We hope this was a little help in your search for a destination, if you need any assistance or would like to put your plan into action contact us on events@serenitylondon.co.uk.
