Deià
Deià
A hillside village on Mallorca's northwest coast, long a home for artists and writers, with a small cove and dramatic mountain views.
Deià is a small village of stone houses set on a steep hillside in the Serra de Tramuntana, on Mallorca's northwest coast between Valldemossa and Sóller. Since the early 20th century it has drawn artists, writers and musicians, and it keeps a quiet, creative feel. Below the village, a footpath leads down to a rocky cove on the sea.
What [Destination] is known for
Deià is best known as an artists' and writers' village. The British poet Robert Graves settled here in 1929 and lived in Deià until his death; his home, Ca n'Alluny, is now a museum, and he is buried in the hilltop churchyard. His presence drew other writers, painters and musicians over the years, and small galleries still dot the lanes. Just outside the village is Son Marroig, a clifftop estate once owned by Archduke Ludwig Salvador, near the much-photographed rock arch of Sa Foradada, a famous spot for sunsets. A steep path leads down to Cala Deià, a rocky cove with a couple of seafood restaurants.

Getting to [Destination] and around
Deià sits on the coast road between Valldemossa and Sóller, about 28km and 40 minutes from Palma by car, with direct buses too. The nearest airport is Palma (PMI). The village is small and steep, and parking is very limited, so arriving early or by bus is wise. Cala Deià is a half-hour walk downhill from the centre.

Travel tips for visiting [Destination]
Parking is the main challenge; come early, or take the bus along the coast road. Ca n'Alluny, the Robert Graves house, is on the edge of the village and open on weekdays. The walk down to Cala Deià is lovely but steep, and the cove is rocky, so bring suitable shoes. Son Marroig and the Sa Foradada viewpoint are a short drive away and best at sunset. Many of the village's restaurants are upmarket, so book ahead in season.
