Belmond La Residencia, Mallorca

Son Canals s/n, 07179 Deia, Spain. (show on map)

Belmond La Residencia in the mountain village of Deià is a masterclass in Mediterranean elegance. Built from two restored 16th and 17th-century manor houses, the property feels less like a hotel and more like a private, sun-drenched estate. It famously gained international prominence after Sir Richard Branson purchased it in 1987, transforming it into a legendary escape that has hosted everyone from royalty to rock stars.

The hotel is deeply rooted in art, boasting a collection of over 800 works by local creators. Guests can even find 33 original pieces by Joan Miró inside the restaurant that bears his name. Adding to its creative soul, the property features a “Poet’s Walk,” a path through the gardens lined with columns honoring literary icons like Robert Graves and Federico García Lorca.

You’ll find charming, quirky touches throughout your stay, such as the resident donkeys that roam the olive groves. Guests can even join them for a picnic hike. For a bit of luxury, the fine-dining restaurant, El Olivo, is set within a 500-year-old former olive mill, offering stunning candlelit views over the UNESCO-protected Serra de Tramuntana mountains.

The surrounding area is a dream for culture seekers. You are just a short walk from the Robert Graves House, where the poet lived and worked, and a quick trip from the picturesque cove of Cala Deià. Whether you are exploring the rugged coastline or simply lounging by the pool, the hotel offers an authentic, timeless slice of Mallorcan life.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“‘The Res’ to its habitués, this is where the rich, famous or merely cashed up rub shoulders. A short stroll from the village centre, these former 16th- and 17th-century manor houses set in 12 hectares of manicured lawns and gardens offer every conceivable luxury – uniquely designed rooms, tennis courts, spa, two outdoor pools, a sculpture garden and three excellent restaurants.”

Fodors review:

“Two 16th- and 17th-century manor houses, on a hill facing the village of Deià, have been artfully combined to make this exceptional hotel, superbly furnished with Mallorcan antiques, modern canvases, and canopied four-poster beds. The annex has eight rooms on two levels, four with private heated plunge pools.”

Telegraph review:

“With its beguiling setting between mountains and sea, deluxe five-star Belmond La Residencia in Deia village, assures unrivalled facilities and impeccable service. Luxuries, including an acclaimed restaurant, spa and two tennis courts and pools, make this one of Majorca’s most desirable and relaxing retreats.”

Excellent return to La Residencia

The staff are excellent, we were delighted to see Phina still working in the restaurant after many years. The views are fabulous and the rooms are extremely comfortable. The food is good and the leasure facilities are good too.

The prices of meals are on the high side but the service and quality makes up for the price.

An expensive but gorgeous resort in a stunning location.

Lovely high end resort in the midst of classic Mallorca scenery

A few small goofs by staff: recommending a restaurant that was closed, sending our luggage to wrong room, sending a birthday cake to wrong room, confusion over correct payment to guide--all very minor.

Great premise in an outstanding location with some deficits on service. Food was very good but definitely definitely out

It’s a truly magic place in Deia with beautiful premises and breathtaking views. The staff in the restaurant El Olivo has been outstanding, the sommelier Adam is worth being mentioned separately as is Noemi. Chapeau, and we thank you for a very enchanting experience

We had booked the hotel for our anniversary. Unfortunately the hotel wasn’t able to provide me with the bouquet of roses that I had ordered well in advance for the next morning. So for the first time ever my wife didn’t get any flowers upon wake up on our anniversary :(. I was told that someone had tried to reach me to let me know, but since I had returned all incoming calls and since no one mentioned it to me, I clearly couldn’t know - and the in-room telephone was broken and it didn’t get fixed during our stay. When I came down to the desk in vein to pick up the flowers the reaction has been pretty flaw by the staff on duty. I would have expected that a hotel in which we spend 2.5k EUR for a 24hours stay would bring up some more empathy or creativity to find a good alternative solution or compensation. That did not happen.
On another note, an evening event was prepared (Tory Burch Sublime perfume presentation) while we were there. This led to a mix of guests that were rather ‘unusual’ for such an upscale hotel.
Porter knocked on our our door 30min and 15mins prior to agreed check out, which we considered to be a little inappropriate.

It is always a great pleasure to stay in La Residencia/Belmont !

All was great - we always love to come!

We preferred the original style of flexible sunbets by the upper side by the mail pool - the flexible ones were more comfortable when adjusting the shadow

Could be the best hotel in Europe

Bucolic luxury, impeccable service, delicious food. Perfectly situated next to charming town with access to the sea. Jaw dropping views from room and everywhere else. Super comfy bed. Insanely gorgeous pool area. Extraordinary nod to the arts and local culture (shoutout to musicians at bar). Inspiring hiking trails on property. Fantastic activities - sunset sail, art galleries (Miro collection in lobby), olive oil master class with head chef, gazpacho lessons, hike with very devoted manager. Appreciated the daily gifts - still enjoying the lavender salt and olive oil tea.

Wish the rates were more reasonable - would have loved to stay longer...or move in permanently.

Beautiful property, wonderful facilities, exceptional staff and great location.

Exceptional service, staff were so friendly and helpful at all times and made our stay so special.
My daughter and I loved everything about the hotel and hope to return soon.

Cannot fault it. If I was to say one thing it would be the stairs. But even that was not a problem for us.

Blissful. Third visit. Would complain that mattress protector had a waterproof lining which squeaked

Both excellent

Rooms 18 and 19 up a high staircase. There should have been a handrail for safety.

Beautiful hotel, property, and area with fun and exciting experiences. Someone needs to be done about the employees know

Absolutely stunning!

Layout is a bit confusing; for example, finding the gym. There are too many ways getting to one destination.

Stunning hotel for art lovers and novices alike.

Stunning hotel in an amazingly beautiful location. Great art throughout the hotel, wonderful personal touches and great service from the staff. Breakfasts were delicious.

The only thing we thought was not up to par was the La Tromantana Grill restaurant where we ate our first night. Very overpriced for food that was nice but nothing special.
