Location and setting

La Residencia occupies a distinctive position in Deià, a village of 600 inhabitants on Mallorca's northwest coast. The property consists of two manor houses dating to the 17th century, originally built as a Cistercian monastery. The buildings stand below the Tramuntana Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which rise dramatically behind the hotel. The surrounding landscape features olive, almond and citrus groves, with views across to the Mediterranean Sea.

Opening as a hotel in 1984, La Residencia was among the first luxury properties in Deià and remains linked to the village's artistic identity. Deià itself hosts a well-established artist community.

Key nearby locations include Cala Deià beach (a 30-minute walk downhill; the return journey is uphill), Valldemossa village (20 minutes by car), Port de Sóller (26 minutes), the Sa Foradada peninsula (8 minutes), and Palma International Airport (45 minutes).

La Residencia operates five dining venues, each reflecting Mallorcan and Mediterranean culinary traditions. El Olivo is the fine dining restaurant, led by Chef Pablo Aranda, who creates seasonal tasting menus rooted in the island's flavours, landscapes and ingredients. The wine program comprises local and international labels, with a separate menu of great wines and unique vintages.

Restaurante Miró serves all-day Mediterranean dining celebrating Spanish and Mallorcan identity. Bar Miró, adjacent to the restaurant, functions as a social hub offering signature cocktails, specialty coffee and freshly baked cakes, often accompanied by art and music.

Tramuntana Grill, positioned beside the hotel's main pool, specializes in grilled meats, fish and vegetables cooked over a Josper charcoal oven, emphasizing seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Son Fony handles breakfast service, offering a buffet of local produce and à la carte selections of Spanish and international options. In-room dining is also available.
