Guide to Deia

At a glance

The idyllic village of Deia sits on a hilltop and extends down into the valley below. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the ‘Serra de Tramuntana’ mountains, it has pretty houses with green shutters and is topped by its ancient church.

Since it became home to poet and novelist Robert Graves in 1932, it has gained a reputation as a haven for artists, musicians and writers. Nowadays, it is still a favourite with rich foreign residents, such as actor Michael Douglas, but is also visited by sightseers because it is an example of the ‘real Majorca’. Down a dusty track through the olive groves is the ‘cala’ or cove, a small shingle beach in an attractive cove, where the few remaining fishermen still cast their nets. The cala can also be reached by car, but this is the long way round, and the walk is very pleasant.

The surrounding area has picture postcard villages of Fornalux and Biniaraix and the small elegant town of Soller, the end of a breathtaking mountain ride from Palma. Close by is Valldemossa, made famous by Chopin in 1838 when he took George Sands to continue their affair away from the gossip of Paris. The monastery is the focus of any visit and there are various ‘museums’ inside including one with modern art by Picasso, an old pharmacy and a library where monks would meet for half an hour a week – their only human contact.

For a low key seaside resort with a small sandy beach, visit Port de Soller where you can hire a boat to take you up the coast to visit pretty Cala Tuent and Torrent de Pareis.

Useful Info

Take time to go…

  • to the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains – take a guided tour and breathe in the herb-tinged sea air.
  • on a joyride to Soller on the vintage electric railway through the majestic mountains.
  • visit the monastery at Valldemossa where Chopin rented a cell in 1838 with his lover George Sand.
  • visit "Costa Nord" culture centre, founded by Hollywood star Michael Douglas. Discover the history of the Tramuntana coast and watch a documentary film with Douglas as the commentator.
  • hike on Majorca’s most popular hiking trail at Castell d’Alaro. At the summit you will find a ruined 15th century castle, a hilltop chapel and panoramic views of the sea and plains as far as Palma. You will also find a restaurant, so perhaps some lunch…
  • and visit the old town in Palma. Explore the Gothic cathedral, royal palace, art galleries, shops and restaurants. Take in the Arab quarter with its museums and narrow maze of streets, and end the day with a drink in a waterfront bar.
