Answer

Could a luxury hotel project change the feel of Port de Sóller?

Yes, large upscale projects can gradually change the character of a place, especially if they bring more branded retail, higher prices, and a stronger tourist focus. Port de Sóller is known for its mix of fishing, family businesses, and visitors who fit the landscape, so residents often worry about losing that balance. Good planning can help protect public access and local identity.
