Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Deià

Bohemian, beautiful, and beloved — the Tramuntana’s most romantic village.

A village shaped by art

Deià sits in a fold of the Tramuntana mountains, tumbling down towards a rocky cove with views that have inspired poets, painters, and musicians for generations. Robert Graves made it his home for decades, and the village retains a creative, international spirit that sets it apart from anywhere else on the island.
