Looking for luxury Majorca Holidays? Belmond La Residencia in Deia is one of Mallorca’s leading hotels On this trip, I discovered one of the most special hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at: the stunning Belmond La Residencia. My love for Mallorca is very well documented in this blog. It is an island I have visited over 20 times (I kid you not) and I try to make a special effort to return every year. Why? Because I still feel I haven’t scratched its surface – there is always something more to see or do (or not do at all) in the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands. The hotel is very well known, as it was previously owned by Richard Branson. It is located in Deia, in the north-west coast of Mallorca (around 45 mins from Palma de Mallorca, the island’s capital).

Discover high-brow hedonism at this ultra-chic Ibiza hotel
Luxury meets authenticity at this ultra-chic Ibiza hotel bringing decadence and high-brow hedonism to the quieter side of the White Isle. Where is it? Hidden away from the party crowds of the south, the hotel sits proudly overlooking the golden arc of the captivating east-coast Cala Nova cove - a soft-sand beach backed by pine tree-clad hills and rocky red cliffs.
