La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, Mallorca

La Residencia is now open for the season until November 10, 2024.

“Perfect tranquillity reigns here.” So English poet Robert Graves described Deià, the idyllic village in northwest Mallorca. Home to La Residencia, a Belmond Hotel, this creative enclave exudes a special energy. The light bouncing off the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana Mountains has long attracted artists and writers alike.

The hotel has the distinction of nestling between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea – ideal for early-morning dips and afternoon hilltop hikes. Honey-colored buildings are surrounded by olive groves, citrus trees and flourishing gardens. Individually designed rooms and suites feature Mallorcan paintings by local artists, sun-splashed balconies or private plunge pools. There’s also a sumptuous suite with private pool designed by Matthew Williamson, another set in a medieval watchtower, and a deluxe self-catering villa.

In this quiet haven, guests can relax in two outdoor swimming pools and an award-winning spa with indoor pool. There are tennis courts, a fitness center, an acclaimed restaurant set in a former olive mill and a casual restaurant serving Spanish tapas. Art abounds in every corner, from the in-house gallery and sculpture gardens to Café Miró, where original works by the Spanish artist adorn every wall. Creative classes are offered by the hotel’s artists in residence and a complimentary walking tour takes guests around local painters’ studios.

Onsite activities range from treks in the olive grove with the resident donkeys to hands-on cooking classes. Romantic dinners can be arranged on the Mirador, a private terrace overlooking the sea, reached by the hotel’s scenic Poets’ Walk. To explore further afield, customized adventures include an excursion to a secluded palace of art, sailing excursions and exclusive vineyard visits.
