La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel

The 69 elegant rooms and suites are spread across four different buildings and there’s also one private villa. All are beautifully decorated with Mallorcan antiques and local works of art and all exude individual charm and character. Views open out over the ochre tones of Deia or the green Tramuntana Mountains. Some rooms and suites have a small private garden, balcony or a terrace and 13 suites have private pools.

Set in the former 17th century olive mill, candlelit El Olivo offers a fine dining tasting menu, inspired by Mallorcan gastronomy and paired with award-winning wines. The casual Miro Restaurant and Bar is open for drinks, afternoon tea, cocktails and delicious local dishes (enjoy live music and aperitifs here every evening from 7.30pm – 10.30pm) while the poolside Tramuntana Grill serves local market cuisine cooked in an iconic Josper charcoal oven. 

The two outdoor swimming pools (one adults only) are ideal for cooling dips. Indulge in a treatment at the award-winning Spa which also houses a fully equipped gym and three terraces for outdoor massages. Join a yoga or meditation class. Walk through the olive groves with the adorable donkeys and stop for a picnic lunch in a mountain shepherd’s hut. Hone your art skills in a painting or sculpting class with the resident artist, play tennis, take a sunset boat ride along the Mallorcan coast or rent a bike and explore the dramatic terrain around Deia.

Families are very welcome at La Residencia. There are tasty children’s menus, dedicated spa treatments for children, children’s tennis classes in the summer and a Smile Club where children aged 4 – 12 years can enjoy supervised fun and games. A babysitting service is also available on request.
