Belmond La Residencia

Situated in the charming coastal and mountain village of Deià on the northwest coast of Mallorca in the middle of the Tramuntana Mountains, World Heritage Site. The village was once home to Robert Graves and has been chosen as residence by a number of writers and artists. The village has spectacular views of both mountains and sea. The hotel has a dramatic backdrop of an amphitheatre of lofty mountain crags and offers a stunning panorama over the blue Mediterranean below. The hotel consists of four buildings; two of which date from the XVI and XVII centuries respectively and were originally manor houses. Son Fony, dates from the 18th century and was renovated four years ago. Son Fony II, is an entirely new construction but its design is totally in keeping with the other three. The buildings were first converted into a hotel in 1984, maintaining as many original features as possible.

All interiors and exteriors of the hotel are in traditional Mallorcan architectural style with furnishings and fittings of great beauty. Much of the furniture consists of antique pieces, many of these from Mallorca, which blend in with the surroundings and add charm to the building.  Throughout the hotel, visitors are able to admire a wonderful art collection – all work of local artists. The link to art is actually very important for the hotel, we also host temporary collections in our Sa Tafona Gallery and our three resident artists will introduce guests to the amazing world of painting and sculpture.

The property has 32 doubles, 4 singles, 26 junior suites and 5 suites with private pool and a 3-bedroom villa. Fresh flowers and fruit are placed in all rooms each day. Amenities include two outdoor pools, a spa with an indoor heated pool, gymnasium, sauna, outdoor Jacuzzi, two tennis courts, steam room and beauty salon which offers a range of beauty treatments including massage, hydrotherapy, facials and general body pampering. Hairdressing and barber service a few days per week. From June 2013 the hotel has been offering also a Kids’s Club to entertain all our little guests with many enticing activities and a complimentary boat excursion to discover the beauties of the coast.

Guests can choose among three different restaurants. The El Olivo Restaurant occupies what was once the Son Moragues olive press, is renowned as being one of the best restaurants in Spain. The Cafè Mirò at Son Moragues is open every day and offers a special Tapas Menu and live music entertainment during summer months. The Pool Restaurant is located by the pools and offers a great variety of Mediterranean dishes for lunch.

Constructed of local stone and hidden among the foothills of the Sierra Tramuntana — just a short distance from the Mediterranean — Belmond La Residencia is one of the island’s crown jewels. You’ll feel like family when you make yourself at home in your traditionally decorated bedroom, with its wood-shuttered windows opening out to views of the landscaped gardens. The hotel also has 30 acres of olive groves and produces its own olive oil. Be sure to visit the spa, private art collection and sculpture garden as well. Younger guests can enjoy a delightful Mallorcan adventure at the supervised children’s club.

In the summer enjoy a complimentary boat excursion or a mountain trek with the friendly resident donkeys or rent a Vespa to tour the island. Distance from Mallorca Airport (PMI): 22 mi/35 km
