Sheltered by green mountains on Mallorca’s peaceful north-west coast, Belmond La Residencia is one of the most intimate hotels in Mallorca. Its twin manor houses and award-winning spa sit in lush gardens among olive and citrus groves on the edge of the artists’ village of Deià.

Take an art class, explore the region’s cultural treasures by Vespa, hike in the hills… or simply let the hotel pack a picnic on one of its resident donkeys, amble up into the ancient terraces, and enjoy a Mallorcan feast with a view.
