The 5 best boutique and luxury hotels in Deià, Mallorca

In Mallorca village Deià, Belmond La Residencia feels like a private estate that happens to have keys at reception: 35 acres of terraced gardens, two manor houses and 66 rooms and suites plus a villa. The draw is the self-contained rhythm – indoor and outdoor pools, spa, gym, tennis courts, art and sculpture classes and even donkey trails on the grounds. The hotel’s art DNA is real, rooted in its 1984 opening and the Sheridan family’s early donations. Dining stays on-site across El Olivo, Restaurante Miró and the poolside Tramuntana Grill. Soft drinks in the minibar are included, a small tell that it avoids nickel-and-diming.

Halfway between Deià and Sóller in Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana, this 15-room finca doubles as farm, restaurant, art space and shop, with no TVs and a strong sense of intent. Hotel Corazón is run by British fashion photographer Kate Bellm and Mexican artist Edgar Lopez, with the restoration and interiors developed with Mallorca studio Moredesign. Rooms lean 1970s organic, with limewashed colour, custom furniture and deep soaking tubs. Book a table for produce grown on-site, including vegetables, fruit and herbs from 50 garden beds tended without pesticides. Yoga, sound healing, Reiki, massage and guided hikes sit on the same menu.

A short drive above the centre of Deià, a stone village on Mallorca, this adults-only agroturismo trades nightlife for sea air and Tramuntana silence. Sa Pedrissa sits in the Serra de Tramuntana UNESCO landscape, with terraces that face straight out to the Mediterranean. The mood is rural and precise: thick walls, spare rooms, a pool for slow afternoons and little need to leave once you arrive. Eat on-site at Restaurant Es Pi, where local seasonal produce leads a menu shaped by chef Marcel Ress, Top Chef Spain 2015. For a drink, Es Jardí is the move.

Above Mallorca village Deià in the hamlet of Llucalcari, this is the kind of place where the view does most of the talking: pine, rock, then straight into the Mediterranean. Hoposa Costa d’Or is adults-only and small at 41 rooms, set up on terraces with a sea-facing pool and a restaurant terrace that stays busy at sunset. The point of the price tag is the access – quiet, controlled, no families, no crowds, a hillside address that feels out of reach once you’re there. Book a sea-view room and take dinner outside at Restaurant Costa d’Or.

Across the valley from Mallorca village Deià, this hillside hotel leans into big views and a slightly old-school, grown-up rhythm. Hotel Es Molí was created in 1965 when a German merchant and his family converted the estate into a hotel, keeping its rural character intact. A spring-water pool anchors the day, with Sa Font d’Es Molí serving lunch beside it. Dinner shifts to Es Jardí, while Muleta Snack Bar sits down on the Muleta coast with direct sea access and a free shuttle from the hotel.
