Delightful days in Deia

Mallorca is so much more than mass tourism, especially if you know where to look. Why not travel up north to the idyllic village of Deia, where The Orient Express chain of hotels operate the most magnificent hotel simply called La Residencia (in Danish only): The perfect getaway in the mountains

La Residencia used to be an olive press, then reinvented into a five star luxurt resort by Sir Richard Branson, before being taken over by the Orient Express. Still as excellent today as it was when it first opened, but today even with two artists in residence (in Danish only): Meet Alan Hyde at La Residencia
