Belmond La Residencia

Belmond La Residencia

Mallorca, Spain

A tranquil, jasmine-perfumed hamlet of sun-baked stone buildings linked by cobbled pathways, La Residencia is one of the most exclusive hotels on the island. Yet it exudes a true sense of place, echoing the design of the surrounding hilltop villages.

At every corner is a cultural reminder of Mallorcan life. You’ll see it in the stepped stone terraces of olive trees and the small herd of resident donkeys, through to the infusion of native herbs used in the spa treatments and the local artwork on display.

Close to the dramatic northwestern coastline, and within easy walking distance of the mountainside village of Deià, the hotel has a boutique, artistic air, is assuredly family-friendly, and offers a multitude of alfresco Mediterranean dining options. The two main pools take full advantage of the setting, with expansive views across the surrounding Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.

Rooms have high-beamed ceilings and are finished with original artwork and a bespoke design of Mallorcan furnishings. Many are housed in individual stone buildings with private pools, and there’s a three-bedroom villa in the nearby village, for larger groups.

OUR OPINION:

The hotel is a haven of Mallorcan artistry, we love the headily scented stone pathways and mountain backdrop. The level of service is top-end, and the spa is a serene sanctuary.

OUR RATING: Deluxe

Rooms

Rooms are all individually designed and artistically edited and come in a range of sizes from the double rooms in the original manor house to more spacious suites. The latter feature standalone décor and artwork, alongside options including seating areas, small gardens, terraces overlooking mountainous views, and private plunge pools. The exclusive suites include curations to honour designer Matthew Williamson and artist Joan Miró. There’s a separate three-bedroom villa for larger groups, which is located a ten-minute walk out of the hotel grounds. All rooms include a private bathroom.

Location

The creative lure of Deià, long associated with visiting artists and writers — most notably the English poet and author Robert Graves — is right on the doorstep of the hotel. Here, you can soak up the mountain views, gaze out at the glistening sea, relax in the calm of the village streets, or explore its traditional cafés and shops.
