For years the pretty mountain and coastal village of Deia has been home to a number of artists and poets, inspired by its picturesque and peaceful setting and closeness to the dazzling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Sitting on the edge of this picture box village are the two 16^th and 17^th century manor houses of Belmond La Residencia, an elegant and prestigious property offering first class accommodation in acres of lush gardens and citrus scented fruit groves.

With only 67 rooms and suites and generous living and leisure space the hotel has successfully maintained a secluded and informal ambiance throughout. The bedrooms and suites are tastefully and elegantly styled and in keeping with the general Mallorcan interior of the entire property providing a haven of crisp white linen and wooden shuttered windows with pretty views. A handful of the suites are enhanced even more so with the exclusivity of their own private pools and garden areas.

A stay at Belmond La Residencia allows you to unwind and relax with an ample supply of hidden nooks and crannies where you can escape with a good book or, perhaps pamper yourself at the award-winning Spa with its revitalising treatments and soothing massages. Alternatively you may be inspired to learn to paint, take to the local hills on a bicycle, or discover the local area by foot.   Within the hotel grounds there is much to keep you occupied with two outdoor swimming pools and an indoor pool, as well as a Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. For those who like to keep fit there is a large gym and excellent tennis facilities and an in-house tennis coach.

The award-winning El Olivo Restaurant, once a 16^th century olive press, now offers one of the islands finest dining experiences with a gourmet menu and equally impressive wine list. Alternatively you can experience further fine dining at the hotel’s Café Miró Terrace where the ambiance is a little more casual. Both dining options allow you to enjoy stunning food in sophisticated and luxurious surroundings.

And finally, for families and larger groups keen to experience Belmond La Residencia yet requiring the flexibility of self-catering facilities, the hotel has an exclusive villa just three minutes from the hotel, overlooking the village of Deià and the Mediterranean Sea. The high standard of luxury accommodation and leisure facilities continues with stylish interiors, authentic design and a heated swimming pool. All Villa guests enjoy the added benefit and flexibility of using all of the hotels superb facilities and restaurants.
