It may be tucked away on the edge of Deià, and sheltered by the mountains of Mallorca’s peaceful north-west coast, but there's so much to do at Belmond La Residencia that one stay is never enough.

In days gone by, the picturesque village of Deià attracted literary intellectuals and visiting writers: the surrounding area was perfect for contemplation and creativity. More like a heavenly retreat than an hotel and making the most of its gorgeous setting, Belmond La Residencia unveils a more civilised side to Mallorca and is a great year-round hotel, with slick service, a ban on mobile phones in public areas and an award-winning spa offering treatments galore.
