The luxurious Belmond La Residencia welcomes you to the artistically inspired village of Deià, in an enchanting setting between the mountains and the sea. With its elegant Mediterranean boutique-style accommodations, award-winning cuisine by chef Guillermo, and guaranteed privacy and tranquility, this resort is the ideal choice for those who want to experience the idyllic side of Mallorca. Unsurpassed facilities, including a spa, two tennis courts and pools, a kids' club, diverse art classes, and an eclectic art collection make this hotel one of the most sought-after and relaxing retreats on the island.
The outstanding facilities include two outdoor pools—one of which is for adults only—with panoramic views, a fantastic spa with pool and fitness room, tennis courts, and an outdoor hot tub. Even a simple stroll through the landscaped grounds is a highlight in itself: follow the Donkey Trail or the Poet's Walk, marvel at the sculpture park or the on-site art gallery. Painting classes with renowned artist Alan Hydes or sculpture classes with expert Juan Waelder can be arranged, and weekly tours of various local artists' studios are offered. The Smile Club offers a variety of craft activities for younger guests, from table tennis and arts and crafts to PlayStation gaming, while cooking, baking, and pottery classes promise fun for the whole family.
Choose from beautifully appointed, individually designed rooms and suites, or opt for the majestic three-bedroom villa with private pool. Mallorcan antiques, hand-woven colorful rugs, four-poster beds, and fabulous artwork and textiles are standard features—no two rooms are alike. The spacious suites feature sun-drenched balconies, terraces, and/or private plunge pools. For something truly special, the exclusive Designer Suite by Matthew Williamson offers a unique retreat full of vibrant colors, textures, lush plants, and rustic decadence, crowned by a large Mediterranean sun terrace with a private pool.
From a hearty breakfast by the pool to a light lunch at the Tramuntana Grill or a sumptuous dinner in the romantic El Olivo restaurant, housed in a renovated 17th-century olive mill, the resort offers a wide range of opportunities to sample authentic Mallorcan slow food. All menus focus on local products, from Mediterranean fish and seafood to local game, seasonal vegetables, and delicacies from the surrounding forests. The wine list may also be a pleasant surprise, as there are over 70 boutique producers across the island offering a range of delicious local wines to enjoy. A meal at Restaurante Miró is also a special highlight. The name of the restaurant is more than just a reference to Mallorca's famous painter and sculptor Joan Miró – here you can dine surrounded by 33 original works by the celebrated artist.
As part of the Belmond Group, the luxurious La Residencia has a keen sense of place and celebrates its Mallorcan heritage. The picturesque coastal town of Deià has long been a magnet for artists, writers, and creative types. La Residencia has incorporated this into its hotel DNA with its resident artists. An impressive 800 works of art are spread throughout the grounds, not only in the gallery and sculpture garden, but also in the hallways, corridors, and restaurants—most notably the Restaurante Miró, which houses 33 original works by the famous painter. At the heart of this chic island resort are two stone mansions from the 16th and 17th centuries, which blend effortlessly into the rural setting overlooking the charming village of Deià, sheltered by the Tramuntana mountains.
