Expert reviews
“‘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.”
“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.”
“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.”

La Residencia is one of the most wonderful hotels in Europe, set in a majestic landscape.
Magnificent hotel in a spectacular location
The food quality in the Misto restaurant was not great. I expected much better from a hotel of this standard. The Hotel handled my complaint expeditiously and professionally.

The reason why you must come to Mallorca is because of Belmond. Be sure to feel Belmond. I have no regrets! Honeymoon made our bedroom pretty and provided us with a celebratory drink for our drink. Almost everything was perfect
There is too little time to enjoy Belmond!

Wonderful hotel that will remain in my memory always.
This hotel is just the most perfect place I have ever stayed in. Everything was exceptional. From the amazing food, the wonderful and attentive staff, the beautiful scenery, the fabulously comfortable room with those cloud-like pillows to the thoughtful gifts left by the bed ...amazing and with donkeys too!
what more could you ask for?

Fabulous
Lovely no faults
Beautiful place very comfortable the only thing I’d criticise was the price for children . The ice creams and drinks were hugely expensive . The dinners were lovely but for the price I think water should be commentary

Incredible stay, amazing staff, iconic hotel.
Amazing service, best experience ever in terms of attention and kindness of all staff. Better than any other luxury chains like Four seasons. We travelled with our 2 year old girl, we felt very welcomed and lots of attention towards her. Incredible in terms of attention to details, very nice amenitites (best smell ever), lots of little gifts and things for us and for our girl. We were impressed. Thank you so much. I suggest spring and autumn to visit. We were in October, was not hot but warm enough to swim in the pool and suntan. Perfect.
Massage was not up to standards, just not good. The girl spoke english, but honestly I prefer a good massage than an english speaker.

one of the best hotels we’ve every stayed at!
La Residencia is stunning! The entire property is gorgeous. the rooms and bathrooms are lovely and comfortable
there are a lot of stairs so that might be challenging for some but if you don’t mind makes the property even more beautiful

A romantic luxury retreat in the heart of the picturesque village of Deia
Exceptional stay at La Residencia : from our arrival when we were welcomed with a room upgrade and a complimentary bottle of cava, to our departure with a smooth early morning check-out, we can only but commend La Residencia property and staff to demanding guests. This property is attentive to all small details for their clients to have the perfect stay. There are many experiences and activities organized by the hotel concierge services. The F&B was top, both in terms of variety and quality. Deia is in our opinion the most beautiful village on the entire island.
Nothing - everything was perfect! We would be gladly staying again at this property :)

Lovely time. Poor experience in El Olivia
Spa, adult only pool, location, service, quietness
- dinner in El Olivia was underwhelming - poolside drinks are very expensive

Fabulous hotel, faultless service and delicious food, would revisit. But not sold on Deia/Cala Deia
Beautiful views, wonderful facilities, extremely attentive staff and attention to detail was exceptional. The food in all of the restaurants was fabulous. In the evening there was an amazing pianist who played beautifully for hours in the bar. Have already recommended the restaurant and bar for a visit to friends and family who live nearby.
The hotel itself is FAULTLESS, but wanted to add thoughts about the surrounding locations.. Being annual visitors to the island for 25+ years we were a little disappointed by Deia's offerings especially considering its reputation. It's undeniably pretty, and certainly creates a lovely backdrop for the hotel, but a short morning walk in revealed really not a huge amount to visit compared to other Mallorcan towns. A few restaurants that were closed, one or 2 small supermarkets and a cycling shop (perhaps the time of day we went pre midday..) We walked to the top of the town to the church which had fabulous views but don't expect Deia to be like other Mallorcan towns with a bustling market square/cafes and bars (the likes of Pollenca, Soller, Valdemossa etc). There is also a single very busy and windy road that runs upto/through the town so caution to pedestrians. Cala Deia again has a lovely reputation but you have to get there extremely early to get a parking spot, and you wouldn't want to walk unless you've bought your hiking gear (an almost vertical descent of several kms). We drove on a rainy morning and even then had to park about a 10 min walk from the beach on the side of the road. Once there, there is one very busy restaurant (which has a well-known rep for being unsurprisingly very overpriced). It smelled fab but imagine you'd have to book well in advance. We anticipated this and took a picnic. The beach is very rocky with no sand to settle on and quite a lot of seaweed on the day we went. The swimming is however fabulous. We didn't find any other amenities down there (no WCs) and very little shade. Would say it's not hugely suitable if you're planning to take small children and isn't that accessible for buggies/wheelchairs. We have a family home nearby in Soller and probably wouldn't make the trip to Cala Deia again very regularly.

Magic is in the air!
The atmosphere! brilliant!! also the entire estate wae taking care if very well!
the check in process. We were told we received an upgrade to a vetter room. none if us felt it was a better room. quite the opposite. the staff didn’t seem to want to change our room. it was the most expensive night I ever booked in my life. I would expect for a better check in experience. at the end they gave us a lovely room so we are extremely thankful for that.

Fabulous-very attentive staff in a beautiful setting with magnificent food.
Staff were incredibly well trained. Best service we’ve ever had at a hotel.
Its hard to fault anything but maybe beaches on the west coast not as sandy and vast as the rest of the island.

One of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in
Beautiful, peaceful, serene property in a stunning setting. The bed is so comfortable. the maid service is the best we’ve ever had. The hotel staff are the most incredibly friendly and amazing staff we’ve encountered at a hotel and they really make you feel like you’re at home. That’s what really makes this such a special place.
Though it was beautiful and has a spacious bathroom, our room was smaller than expected. Service at breakfast was a bit slow and unorganized a couple days. We were disappointed that we were unable to take the boat ride during our stay because of bad weather. I wish the communication about the boat rides was different or that you could sign up for it before you arrive at the property.
