Delight in Deia

Be swept up in the tide of Bohemian whimsy that has long drawn artists, musicians and poets to Deia. You do not have to be a creative enthusiast or muse to indulge in the many bounties of Deia. But you may find yourself rubbing shoulders with some rich and famous though. After all behind that rustic charm of quaint window shutters and exposed stone walls, Deia is a popular millionaires retreat.

Deia is about unwinding in beautiful surrounds. Yet how you relax is entirely a matter of personal choice. Recline on one of the sun-drenched terraces that abound throughout the town, looking out over crystalline seas. Or meander amidst colourful art galleries and boutique gift shops. 

Perhaps you are at your most relaxed when keeping enthusiastically active. Deia does not disappoint on this score, turning on a bunch of steep hiking tracks and twisting coastal road cycling opportunities for those who are up the challenge.

Fancy partaking in fresh Mallorcan fish plucked straight from local Deia fishing boats? Pop down to the small shingle shores of pretty Cala Deia cove. Here you will find a pair of summer restaurants that each serve up fresh fish as their signature dish. Should you find yourself at Cala Deia in the weekends you may well happen upon one of the popular parties thrown with regular relish by local artists. 

With so much to offer visitors of every proclivity, there are also some great small hotels in Deia.

•    Sa Pedrissa: a true standout among hotels in Deia. It doesn’t matter whether you relaxing by the irresistible cliff-top pool or savouring authentic Mallorcan cuisine in the welcoming on-site restaurant. This strikingly refurbished 17th century house will satisfy in every way
