La Residencia, a Belmond Hotel, is an art-filled oasis in Mallorca, Spain. It is perched between the Tramuntana Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Mediterranean Sea in the charming village of Deià.
This creative enclave exudes a special energy. The light bouncing off the honey-coloured stone buildings, surrounded by olive groves, citrus trees and lush gardens has long attracted artists and writers alike. “Perfect tranquillity reigns here.” So English poet Robert Graves described Deià.
A quiet haven
The hotel has the distinction of nestling between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea – ideal for early-morning dips and afternoon hilltop hikes.
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 centre, an acclaimed restaurant set in a former olive mill and a casual restaurant serving Spanish tapas.
Spaces that delight the senses
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.
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.
Immerse yourself
Spend your time immersing yourself in nature or with some of the onsite activities, ranging 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, customised adventures include an excursion to a secluded palace of art, sailing excursions and exclusive vineyard visits.
