About this hotel
General information
La Residencia spreads across a hillside on the edge of Deià, the artists' village in the Serra de Tramuntana on Mallorca's north-west coast, with mountains rising behind and the Mediterranean below. At its core are twin manor houses dating back to the 17th century, once home to Cistercian monks whose irrigation channels turned the slopes into orchards and olive groves. Stone buildings, terraces and gardens have grown up around them, looking out over the village's terracotta roofs.
Art sets the tone. The hotel holds 33 works by Joan Miró, a local collection first gathered by the painter George Sheridan, the Sa Tafona gallery, and painting and sculpture studios with a resident artist. Its 67 rooms, suites and villa are furnished with Mallorcan antiques, and the estate has three restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, tennis courts and its own donkeys for walks along the trails. It is part of the Belmond collection.
Location
The hotel stands on the edge of Deià, a village of around 600 people below the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Palma airport is about 45 minutes away by car, Sóller and Valldemossa roughly 20 minutes, Port de Sóller 26 minutes and the Sa Foradada peninsula 8 minutes. The small cove of Cala Deià is a 20–30-minute walk downhill. The concierge arranges private transfers, and valet parking is complimentary for guests.
Spa
La Residencia Spa is set into the hillside among centuries-old olive trees. It has six treatment rooms, three with their own terraces, an outdoor terrace for couples' massages, a sauna, steam room and ice bath, a heated indoor pool, a hair salon and a fitness centre. Treatments use Natura Bissé, 111SKIN and Margaret Dabbs London products; signatures include Olive Activator, Citrus Siesta and Island Delight, alongside massages, body treatments and facials.
