Our Picks
5 hotels · Updated February 2026
The definitive Mallorcan retreat — a 16th-century manor house of ochre stone nestled in the olive groves above Deià with uninterrupted mountain and sea views, a two-Michelin-star restaurant, and a spa that feels like a private oasis. Robert Graves lived and wrote a stone's throw away, and the village's creative heritage is palpable.

A clifftop luxury resort above the Port de Sóller fjord, commanding views of the Sierra de Tramuntana and the harbour below, with infinity pools, a comprehensive spa, and one of the most dramatic settings of any Mediterranean hotel. The tramcar down to the port is a delight.
Palma
A 17th-century aristocratic palace in the heart of Palma's old town, converted into one of the island's finest boutique hotels with just 12 rooms of extraordinary character — exposed stonework, painted timber ceilings, and an intimate courtyard. Steps from the Cathedral.
Capdepera
A romantic rural retreat in the island's wild east coast near the Artà caves, with stone cottages scattered across a hilltop estate and a sweeping view of the Bay of Alcúdia. Peace, olive trees, and near-total seclusion.
Palma
A stylish boutique hotel in a converted 16th-century Palma townhouse with a rooftop pool, well-curated art collection, and a ground-floor restaurant that draws Palma's design community. Excellent value for a Palma old-town address of this quality.
Common Questions
Deià is perfect for those seeking the authentic, creative Mallorcan soul far from resort tourism. Accommodation ranges from the legendary La Residencia to smaller fincas. A hire car is essential for exploring the village and accessing the rocky coves below.
Robert Graves's house and museum (Ca n'Alluny), the tiny cemetery where Graves is buried, the restaurants S'Estaca and El Barrigón, the rocky coves of Cala Deià accessible by path, and the art gallery scene on the main road.
The most convenient option is a rideshare (Uber/Lyft), typically 30-50 minutes depending on traffic. Public transport is also available and often more economical.
